Another accident on the 1300 Block of N. Alvarado St.



Accidents occur practically almost everyday, just a few get reported and others just for insurance purposes don't report it.
It has become an everyday routine of hearing the terrible screeching of the tires and then a big boom! I still get butterflies on my stomach every time I hear it.
This incident happen about 8:35 am, Saturday, August 18, 2007. Notice how far it is from the bus stop, yes, it is less then 10 feet away. There were people waiting for the bus, and Thank God that no one got hurt as the car made its way up the sidewalk and right into the fence. The horror of what it would have been.
The driver of the car was injured.

Kids with Dynamite

During last month's Positive Energy meeting at the Edendale Library, I spoke briefly about what we, as a community , can expect from the coming summer season. In LA, its not the Memorial Day weekend that marks the beginning of summer, it is the thunderous sounds of explosives in the street. And it seems that every year, the noise is more piercing.
Typically, "fireworks season" runs from early June through the second week of July. Throughout this period, we are treated to an almost continual pop-pop-pop, that is punctuated with whistles, sizzles and the peace -shattering BOOM. What frustrates us is the fact there is little that can be done to stop those who freely light-off fireworks outside of our homes.
While it is true that fireworks of any kind are illegal in Los Angeles, children of grade school age have easy access to dangerous high explosive M-80's , and sky rockets which can maime, burn and blind. The distributors of illegal fireworks are often older kids and adults who live in the neighborhood.
If you suspect that someone in your area is selling fireworks, contact the your Senior Lead officer, or the Fire Dept. Your call, can cut the volume of explosive activity around you, and may potentially save a young person from suffering a life-long disability.
