What's Happening the the Valley

Gerald Fecht is the president of The Museum of the San Fernando Valley and a tireless blogger. While some of us struggle to post once or twice a week, Jerry sometimes posts several articles in a single day. He is well-versed in history and also seems to know everything that's happening right now. He posts photos from the museum's archives, as well as recently-snapped pics of public art, landscapes, buildings and people.

The museum's blog is a great place to find out about upcoming events as well as volunteer opportunities. I'm especially interested in the occasional walking tours, and hope to join one in the near future.

SFV Guide

A blogger named Angela has just started "The Ultimate Guide to the San Fernando Valley". Determined to prove that there really is something to do in the Valley, she promises to write about dining, shopping, entertainment, special events, and other activities. I like her photos of her meals at local restaurants, and some really delicious pics from the Calabasas Farmers Market. A journalism student, Angela interviews people at the places she visits, and sometimes brings a video camera. Take a look.

A Landmark Tour

Since 2007, Floyd B. Bariscale has been finding, photographing, and writing about the official historical landmarks of Los Angeles. I like his pictures ( he has a talent for being out and about on clear, blue-sky days). His commentary is both informative and entertaining. Lately I've been searching for some of the Valley's landmarks, and Floyd's entries have been helpful on more than one occasion when I just couldn't figure out where the darn thing was. The blog is called Big Orange Landmarks.
