Ever wonder how a community can come together through the power of art and humor? This week's "myBurbank Talks" kicks off with an exciting preview of the upcoming Elephant Walk exhibit, featuring 26 artistic elephants set to color our city starting July 1st. We then dive into the quirky world of social media, sharing a chuckle over a LinkedIn notification that hilariously congratulates Ross Benson on 51 years at myBurbank. Plus, you'll get the latest scoop on our word of the week contest and how Robert Poyer won a $25 gift card to Hill Street Cafe.
Heartfelt memories take center stage as we remember two beloved community figures. Mike, renowned for his impeccable lawn and firewood service, an LA County Firefighter, who tragically lost his life in the line of duty. Their stories serve as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by our neighbors and first responders. Shifting to lighter topics, Ross beams with pride as he shares touching Father's Day reflections about his son Matt, a gaffer who has had the honor of working on major events with President Biden and former President Obama.
Our community spirit shines brightly as we discuss local happenings and challenges. From the bustling Burbank Cultural Market to the energetic Go Skate Day, there's something for everyone. We tackle the complex issue of homelessness and the frustrating funding disparities affecting our city. Not to be missed are our safety tips on fireworks and insights on the upcoming town hall event "Burbank Bites Back," addressing the struggles of local restaurant owners in today's digital age. Join us for a vibrant mix of stories, tributes, and local insights that embody the essence of Burbank.
