The Week That Was and That Will Be - June 10

myBurbank Talks

Can a budget adoption and a gun ordinance reshape the landscape of Burbank? Join Craig Sherwood, Ross Benson, and Craig Durling on this week's "Burbank Talks" as we delve into the latest city council decisions, celebrate Joe Carici's contest victory, and decode civic jargon. We bring clarity to complex topics such as the new budget for 2024-2025 and the nuances of a gun ordinance affecting firearm retailers. Plus, get updates on the newly authorized funds for the Home Again LA facility, offering insight into its importance for our community.
From world peace to local construction, our conversation takes unexpected turns while remaining grounded in Burbank's ongoing developments. We shed light on the Media District-Specific Plan and provide construction updates at the Empire Center. Hear our thoughts on public transit logistics for workers and an amusing anecdote about perceived arrogance at a City Council meeting. Our discussion doesn't shy away from scrutinizing the actions of the LA City Council President and what it means for intercity relations, media portrayals, and the treatment of homeless individuals.
Feeling nostalgic? We round off the episode with reflections on classic children's television shows from the 70s and 80s. Then, we dive into recent events like the Road King's Car Show, where community spirit and classic cars took center stage, and the St. Joseph's Foundation gala. As a cherry on top, we preview upcoming city events such as Flag Day and a unique Father's Day mariachi brunch at IKEA. Don’t miss our humorous takes and heartfelt anecdotes as we bring you the latest from Burbank.
