        Mike Antonovich’s field representative, Sussy Nemer, sends more specifics:

                  A contractor to the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Works is currently re-constructing this section of Altadena Drive between Santa Rosa Avenue and Lake Avenue. This work involves re-construction of the roadway and improvements to medians, curbs, gutters, and sidewalks.

By adjusting the contractor’s schedule, Altadenans can rest assured that the construction along Altadena Drive will not impede visitors coming to see Christmas Tree Lane. Traveling to and from Christmas Tree Lane will remain accessible for the thousands of Altadenans and others who come to enjoy this annual celebration.
 

Some of you know my passion for all things aeronautic. Thanks to my dad’s career as an airline pilot, I’ve flown in a glider, taken two intro flying lessons, risen high in a hot air balloon and covered the balloon festival in Albuquerque, covered the women’s world record skydiving record. Here’s the latest: Flying in a skydiving wind tunnel! I swear, so fun. You just let yourself fall into the wind and fly! I joined three of my husband’s work associates in Orlando to leave gravity behind for a few minutes and get blasted! That’s what happens when you’ve got 120 mph wind blowing you around.

I understand there’s one of these units at CityWalk now, so I say GO! GO! GO! I just hope you get a better looking ensemble to wear than I did. Crap.  Sorry for big photo, my editing software took a dive, too!
