LOCAL NONPROFIT GROUPS sponsor booths explaining their schools, goals, programs and more. And sometimes have food for sale!
Sunny skies and a warm breeze mean summer is on its way. The city, county and state rules allowing all of us to function more fully, starting June 15, have also lifted spirits of shoppers and diners on Larchmont Boulevard.
Larchmont 100
Looking ahead to the fall, talks continue among Larchmont Boulevard Association (LBA) members who are spearheading the Boulevard’s 100th anniversary celebration for October 2021.
Committees are in their early forming stages, and volunteers are being sought from throughout the community to help raise a glass to toast the Boulevard’s first century and kick off its next one.
This upcoming September is Larchmont Village’s 100th anniversary, and the
Larchmont Chronicle will be publishing a special “Souvenir Collector’s Edition.” This will be only the second such edition, following our coverage of the 50th anniversary in 1971.
The theme of the 50th anniversary commemorative edition was “From Barley Fields to Affluent Suburb,” a closer look at Larchmont’s evolution since its founding in the Jazz Age. The
Chronicle took readers through Larchmont’s history decade by decade.
For the 1920s, writers wrote on notable milestones like “Two-Story Homes Completed in Windsor Square Suburb” and “Ebell Club Ball Marks Move to Wilshire Blvd.”
