Blog: The Wonderful World of Make Believe

There is a saying:  "If you are stuck with a lemon, make lemonaid."  In the main, this is a news site about things and people in the Crescenta Valley.  I wished this was all the news there was...but it isn't.  Surrounding this wonderful little capsule of stories, there is that dark and bleak capsule of what is happening in our World; most of it is bad.  The capsule of KABC is mostly about murders, car chases, and corruption at every level.  The world news is about fighting...people killing people. Perhaps a little fiction involving facts about Crescenta Valley might be good lemonaid.  When we were children, we loved fairy tales; we did not sit down and use all of our smarts to debunk the story; we just entered into the story.  So,  the world of Crescenta Valley awakened one morning to something no one could explain.  It struck just a little fear into all of us because we ignored what had happened and wondered how it happened.  What happened was that the shopping center on the Northwest corner of Verdugo and Honolulu had disappeared.  Instead, there was a valley filled with Oak trees, a swimming pool, young and old enjoying life.  The splashing of water, the smoke from roasting weenies, girls chasing boys, boys chasing girls,  little ones digging in the dirt...a plethora of old cars and hot rods.  Indian Springs was back and it bothered a lot of people because it would take a super-natural act to do this.  Scientists came to see this amazing transformation and try to offer an explanation.  That they could not stunned the people.  They had to know how.  But soon  after the shock wore off, people soon did not care how, but began to enjoy the what of the matter.  Come join me and all the others,  The Springs are back, the fun is back, romances are being made in boy meets girl...(Someone just did a belly flop off the high board), A waft of chlorine mingles with wood smoke, and baked beans...Come on in and forget your sophistication...let's enjoy the day.
