It’s only a week until the 2017 Los Angeles Homeless Count on January 26th. Join the over 1,000 volunteers participating in this annual census of our neighbors experiencing homelessness throughout Los Angeles. The Greater Wilshire area needs about 45 volunteers for the 22 Census Tracts we’ll canvass. This is a visual-only count done mostly by car in teams of 2-4 and we’ll provide training on the night of the census.

For more information and to register at our deployment site at 600 S. La Brea Ave: http://www.theycountwillyou.org/600slabrea

We hope to see many of you again this year!

Sycamore Square Walking Tour – Sunday, December 11, 2016

Want to learn more about our local neighborhood history? On Sunday, December 11, please join the Sycamore Square Neighborhood Association for a free, informal, one-hour walking tour of the Sycamore Square neighborhood (bordered by Wilshire, Citrus, Olympic, and La Brea).

The theme of the tour is “Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow.” We’ll trace the neighborhood’s origins, history, and development (including its unique residential zoning pattern that fosters a multiplicity of generations and lifestyles)…as well as introduce current neighborhood issues and preservation efforts.

The event is open to everyone; no advance reservations required. Just meet at 2 p.m. at the NE corner of Sycamore and Olympic (the corner of the front lawn of Wilshire Crest School) to explore this historic, well-preserved, wonderfully diverse and livable community. (The tour will take about an hour, and is an easy, level walk.) Please join us if you can!
