For a mere $150 Million

By: Kenny Melcombe

Few manor’s world wide compare to the Spelling residence in Los Angeles. Beautifully positioned on nearly five acres of rare flat land, the Manor blends visionary design, passionate consideration to detail, and unique artistic touches. A winding drive leads to a splendid circular motor court with a fountain and space for 100 cars. Italian limestone enwraps the sumptuous living spaces. A magnificent entry with double staircase begin with dramatic 30-foot ceilings and walls adorned with French silk. In addition to 7 BR suites, there is a step-down formal living room, a projection room, bar, family room, an oak-panelled library, an office, a service wing, billiards room, game room, two lane bowling alley, wine cellar and tasting room, catering kitchen, gym and beauty salon. This 56,000+ square ft home will likely squeeze a small family of four. I said, likely.

In the name of helping cyclists

By: Kenny Melcombe

After the Los Angeles Mayor had a bone breaking accident on his bicycle, Villaraigosa begun a campaign to widen streets in our city. The Mayor says that roughly $3.2 million will be set aside for bicycle and pedestrian improvements in the 2011 fiscal year.

The city is also updating its bicycle plan, which envisions 1,633 miles of bike lanes, paths and routes. But the last plan called for 526 miles of bikeways, but so far only 354 miles exist.

Villaraigosa says the city needs to invest in bicycling infrastructure and focus on traffic safety enforcement to make streets safer for cyclists.

Instead of a long drive to Hollywood or Downtown we will soon have a first class venue right here in the valley.  This 165,000 square foot, State of the Art eco-friendly structure is in progress.  The main stage is about the same size as the entire 1,700 seating area complete with a trap below stage and an orchestra pit that can be raised for more seating as well.  Besides the main auditorium, the center will include the campus radio station KCSN-FM, two rehearsal rooms, a smaller 178 seat theater, instructional lecture hall class rooms, stagecraft labs, costume labs and much more.  The construction pictures are from my tour last week. 

The whole project costs approximately $125 million.  So far, community fundraising has brought in over $20 million and the state has funded $75 million. The school is looking for contributors to help fund the remaining $28 million.

We will soon have a destination spot to see Broadway plays, modern dance performances, ballet, concerts and much more.  Grand Opening is tentatively scheduled for January 2011.  To learn more about the Valley Performing Arts Center go to www.csun.edu/imagine and for current event information at CSUN go to www.artsnorthridge.csun.com
