The First of the Reseda Blvd Summer Art Series Events Scheduled for May 7th



The first of a series of four summer art events, scheduled for Reseda Blvd on May 7th and 21st and June 4th and 18th, will highlight the themes of Peace, Love, Sustainability, Healthy Living, and Positive Change. 

Funding for the four events has been provided by a City of Los Angeles Cultural Affairs grant, awarded to CJ Berina of Collective Lifestyle. CJ has been an active participant in the Reseda Great Street process as a supportive local merchant and resident.  These four new events build on the success of three previous Reseda Great Street Events branded under the billing REvisit REseda Blvd which took place over the last year for Halloween, the December holiday season and for this Valentines Day.

Among the visual artists participating in this first event are Chris Reyes, Levi Ponce, Dyanna Jimenez, Nicole Guerrera, Sergio Ramos, Saidah Gray, Karis Jackson, Michael Lampert, Donnal Poppe, Helen Luong, Lidia Casa, Mienah Yoon and Wendy Wilson.  Dance performances scheduled for the event will include a hip hop performance, a Filipino cultural dance group, as well as other local dance groups. 

Besides traditional art and dance, the first of the summer arts series will include light and performance art, spoken word and live music.  Complementing the artistic performances will be a selection of food trucks and other vendors, including those emphasizing healthy eating, meditation, sustainability, fitness training, and meal prep nutrition.

Businesses participating in the event include Collective Lifestyle, Reload LA, House of Vitamins, Sol y Luna and Domestique Cycles.   For more information on the event, please contact CJ Berina or Shane Ferguson at ResedaBlvdSummerSeries@gmail.com.

Northridge Metrolink Station Relocation Study Made Available to the Public

Metro’s long-awaited Northridge Metrolink Station Relocation Study was made available to community members at the end of September.   The study was based on community input taken last spring at a community meeting, as well as through email and online comments.   The study takes no official position, rather it details the various costs, community concerns, and environmental factors that would be involved in either the upgrading of the current station, or in the moving of the current station to the corner of Reseda and Parthenia. Both study alternatives aimed to identify potential opportunities to enhance transit connectivity throughout the community and region. Alternative 1: Station Relocation, relocates the existing Northridge Metrolink Station to the intersection of Reseda Boulevard, Parthenia Street, and the Ventura Line.   Alternative 2: Existing Station Enhancements, upgrades the existing Northridge Metrolink Station into a multi-modal transit ...

Sherwood Forest Home Owners Association Works to Make Northridge a Better Place to Live

On January 18th, the Sherwood Forest HOA will hold a stakeholder meeting at the Dearborn Elementary Charter Academy, at which there will be a presentation on the Clean Streets, Clean Starts program, which seeks to find work, counseling and housing for North Valley homeless.   Guest speakers will include Don Larson and Laura Rathbone, coordinators of this revolutionary approach to tackling homelessness. Homeless issues are important issues in the community, no less in the well to do and idyllic Sherwood Forest neighborhood.   Overnight parking of recreational vehicles and cars has become a daily occurrence in the neighborhood.   Other issues, such as large scale development and growing traffic strains are increasingly on the radar of the community and the Sherwood Forest Home Owners association.    Homeowners and the SFHOA find the need for advocacy in the community more than ever.   This increased advocacy has been reflected in ...

Northridge’s Community Sponsors Support Beautification and Homelessness Projects

Much of the good work that has been done in our neighborhood over that last few years has been because of the many volunteer hours donated free of charge.   However, volunteer labor often needs materials, money and expertise to make a project smooth running and successful.   Currently, two examples of these projects, the new “Northridge Stampede” mural on the Catalina Paint Building at Gresham and Reseda, and our ongoing “Clean Streets, Clean Starts” homeless project, both rely on the generosity of individuals, local businesses and non-profits.   The Northridge Beautification Foundation, a 501.c3 nonprofit, has been able to expand their community service projects with a much-needed infusion of money and expertise. In the case of the “Northridge Stampede” mural, currently underway, the overwhelming generosity of the Northridge Sharkey’s, which donated a sizable percentage of their Labor Day Weekend profits, totaling an amazingly generous $3,148 dollar, ...
