MURALS AT LAKE BALBOA GASOLINE STATION

If you have a digital camera, take it along with you and send your images in jpg format to The Museum of the San Fernando Valley. Give us permission, and we might use them on this blog and our approaching website.
(I can't find the names of the mural painters featured in this posting but will add them as "comments" soon.)
The San Fernando Valley, in the heart of the Creative Capital of the World, deserves a great Museum of history and culture.

How often do I order you folks around? Well this week is an exception. Tax season or not, you must take a half hour to go to the San Fernando Valley's Beilenson Park (formerly Balboa Park) and see the Japanese Cherry Trees in bloom! Hurry, the blooms are in their final days for the season.
Take the Orange Line to Balboa Park, walk a couple of short blocks into the park and visit Lake Balboa.
