Ongoing throughout the Weekend the old Fox Hills Mall has been reborn as Westfield Culver City and they’re having a Grand Opening this weekend, plus fun family events all through next week. KCRW will be there. It’s also Macy’s Shop for a Cause on Saturday: special deals and money donated to deserving non-profits.
Meet-Up starts this Saturday 10/17 at 1:00pm at St. John’s Presbyterian Church, 11000 National Blvd, then we’ll actually walk the streets in question and circle back to workshop the ideas. They’re asking us to rsvp, so please contact Shana Bonstin and let her know you’re coming: Shana.Bonstin@lacity.org.
(That’s him on the right and Ali from SmartFish on the left.) Either tuna or salmon would be great in this recipe, he says. Start by broiling the fish and then letting it cool. Then cut it into bite-sized pieces and mound it in the center of the serving plate. Around the edges, add raisins, walnuts, dill, 
cucumbers 
and tomatoes, all chopped. He makes a dressing of light mayo, honey 
and dijon mustard and drizzles that sparingly over the chopped vegetables. Sounds really delicious and very healthy!
This process is being conducted by the LA City Planning Office, and it’s a chance for us to have input into what we want our neighborhood to look and feel like. Do we want 8-story buildings lining Venice Blvd? Hmmm. Whatever your opinion, this workshop is chance to help shape zoning and planning decisions for the future, and I urge you to take the time and come along. 
Here are stakeholders Rob Kadota, Martiza Przekop, Steve Wallace and Sharon Commins, all of whom were on hand to discuss the ideas and ramifications involved. They’ll be back at the market next weekend, October 11th, if you missed them today.
