Below are some other hot spots for Fireworks!

While everything you read in the mainstream media seems to suggest that the housing crisis is intensifying, it is very likely that April 2008 marked the bottom of the U.S. housing market. Yes, the market is bottoming out right now!
This doesn’t mean that prices are about to return to 2005 levels - that likely won’t happen for some time. It just means that the trend is no longer getting worse - which is a critical factor. Read More

The New Year has begun and we’re looking forward to a successful 2008 for all as we grow our group, our businesses and as we help foster positive change in our community. Looking back on what PeopleConnectors accomplished in its first year, we should all be very proud. In less than a year, our membership has expanded to over 20 professionals. Our first fundraiser for the Hathaway-Sycamore Youth Center was a huge success and helped to equip the center with some much needed kitchen items. Participation in the Eagle Rock Music Festival helped make that another fun event. Combining forces with the Highland Park Chamber and the NE Figueroa Association, PeopleConnectors contributed to the success of the 63rd Annual NELA Holiday Parade helping with sponsors, entries, and parade logistics - and our float won 2nd prize! We’ve become known as a community oriented organization of professionals with energy, ideas, commitment and a “get it done” attitude - and our reputation is spreading. The source of PeopleConnector’s dynamic springs from the individuals that make up the group; business professionals with creativity, character, integrity and a common interest in supporting our community and each other. Friendships have been cultivated, business has grown, we’ve impacted the community…and this is just the beginning!
We wish everyone a very Happy New Year with many opportunities for success!

This item will be before the full City Council on Wednesday, October 31st at 10:00am. It is imperative that we gain Council support. Show up on Halloween at City Hall - wear your jersey and show your support!Make your voice heard and contact Tony Cardenas and your respective City Council member. Councilman Tony Cardenas may be contacted at 213/473-7006.
