Local Retailers help stop childhood hunger
By: Linda Cardoso
Saturday, April 17th join the fight to end childhood hunger by joining TWO Tomatoes Boutique and M Street Coffee for their 2nd annual Great American Bake Sale.
If you aren’t familiar with the TWO TOMATOES BOUTIQUE it’s one block east of Fulton on Longridge just off Moorpark Street in Sherman Oaks. The TWO TOMATOES is one of my favorite “go-to” spot for unique gifts for every budget, occasion and age group.
The goodies for this fundraiser will be presented by Sherman Oaks Baby Bakers.
Help fight hunger, grab a great cup of coffee at M Street and buy someone the perfect gift – sounds like a perfect day to me!
100% of the proceeds will go to help stop childhood hunger through Share Our Strength.
The Bake Sale will run from 8:00 AM till 11:00 AM.

Graffiti: Is That A Spray Painted Pig On The Sidewalk ?
From NoHo to Encino, you can find it on sidewalks, street signs and walls.
By Linda Cardoso
Spray Paint Expressionism, and no area is immune. It’s annoying, it’s disappointing, it is disrespectful and even when it’s clever, it’s still vandalism. The one thing most experts agree on is the importance of swift removal.
The City of L.A. has just set up an easy to use website for citizens to report and request removal of graffiti in their neighborhoods. Go to http://anti-graffiti.lacity.org and follow the instructions. Within 48 to 72 hours the graffiti removal should be complete.
Whether you are in Studio City, Sherman Oaks, Tujunga Village, Valley Village, or my two favorite locales, No-Mor-Cold-Tofu (that’s North of Moorpark, Coldwater to Fulton) and Sherman Village, the City of L.A. will act quickly to keep our Valley neighborhoods beautiful.
The Graffiti Removal website was developed by the Los Angeles Board of Public Works, Office of Community Beautification. Check out their website at http://lacity.org/bpw/ocb and learn about other City of L.A. beautification efforts including neighborhood Grants and Grant Workshops held at library branches throughout the city.
Let’s keep it pretty out there people – this is L.A. and the World has certain expectations. We are the citizens of the Dream Factory and we share responsibility for keeping safe the image of Los Angeles known throughout the world. Do your part, be a conscientious neighbor and a good citizen keeping our city beautiful. Do not litter, pick-up after your dog, and report graffiti. The World is counting on us.
Please forward this information to your neighbors and friends and ask them to Bookmark the website addresses and Keep L.A. Beautiful.

The Lights Are On…
Is Anyone Home At Sherman Oaks’ Beloved Mazzarino’s Italian Restaurant?
By Linda Cardoso
I thought I saw lights on inside….I drove around the corner and did a second pass because I had to be sure….My eyes were not playing tricks there were really lights on inside! I could barely contain myself when I parked the car and got out for a peek inside. I saw tables, chairs, and yes, a stack of menus.
Residents of Hidden Woods, Sherman Village and No Moor Cold Tofu REJOICE! Our favorite neighborhood Italian restaurant, Mazzarino’s, is finally reopening more than two years after the fire that closed its doors back in 2007.
Ask anyone who has eaten there about the garlic bread and then brace yourself for a heartfelt, bordering on tearful description of mouth watering deliciousness. That’s just the beginning – the food is hearty and home style and never fails to remind me of my favorite Italian restaurants in Chicago. It’s cozy, fun and best of all, Mazzarino’s proprietress, Liz, her son John and the staff always make you feel like part of a big happy family. My inside source tell me that Mazzarino’s will be open again in about two weeks or right around September 24. Mazzarino’s Italian restaurant is located at 12920 Riverside Drive in Sherman Oaks.
See you there!
