The Burbank City Council voted unanimously to revoke the business license for the Tinhorn Flats restaurant for violations related to Los Angeles County health orders and violation of the Burbank Municipal Code.
In November, Konstantine Anthony was elected to the Burbank City Council. Anthony is a Democrat, a father, and an Uber driver who fought for driver wages as a founding member of Mobile Workers Alliance. He has a history of progressive advocacy for unhoused people, renters, disability rights, and working people.
Anthony described his platform as “unapologetically bold and far-reaching, from homelessness to housing justice to community policing.” His priorities include addressing what he sees as Burbank’s biggest challenges: “the housing crisis and homelessness, our vanishing small businesses, unfair wages, traffic and speeding, and outdated environmental policy.” He also seeks to protect mom & pop businesses, raise working class wages, and return Burbank to its roots as a union town.
How My 88-Year-Old Grandma and I Found Love
In the spring of 2015, I sat on the 33 bus swiping through Tinder dispiritedly and let out a huge sigh. The San Francisco online dating hustle was wearing on me, and analog dating hadn’t gotten me very far, either. But beyond the confines of my Tinder matches, my singledom looked even bleaker when I compared it to Los Angeles, where my 88-year-old grandmother Hilda had found herself a boyfriend. My 88-year-old grandmother found a boyfriend before I did.
Hilda affectionately known to her family as Omama (Grandma in German) had not dated since my grandfather died 20 years earlier. She wore her wedding ring as a tribute to their marriage, which had spanned four decades. Up until recently, she had spent her evenings at Torah Study or watching Jeopardy alone.
