If all goes well, and it looks
very favorable, the underused
beautiful Los Angeles County
Interpretive Center on Avalon
Canyon Road may soon be
turned over to Avalon, for the
sum of one dollar. Originall3/the
idea of Mayor ProTem Tim
Winslow to raise the possibility
to L.A. County Supervisor Don
Knabbe, who in turn advised
having Mayor Morrow write a
letter requesting this action, and
outline specific uses the city
could make of the facility.
It was decided a meeting of all
interested organizations be held
to discuss how the center could
best be used. This was held
Aug. 5, with City Manager Rob
Clark, Community Services
Director Sean Brannock, and
representatives from the
museum, conservancy, Sheriff's

Not only do we live on the
"Catalina Freeway"called
Claressa, but now we live in the
dark. There are no street lights on
Claressa from Crescent to
Beacon. If summer visitors are
not in well lit homes, the dark
street can be hazardous to any
walker. What happened to the
lights? Claressa is truly a
freeway. 60 years ago when we
bought our home, this was a
lovely, peaceful street. Now,
every car, truck, Vons container
unit and golf cart passes by our
door. Two years ago we wrote
suggesting a rerouting of the cars
from the mole go on a new road
over the wash in back of the
Claressa homes. When planning
a new city hall and fire station,
why not plan some new traffic
patterns as well?

The idea of having the
Interpretive Center for city use
was very appealing to the group.
Out of the discussion evolved a
usage plan which would make a

Brannock says the Performing
Arts Foundation would like space
outdoors for performances, and
Community Services would like
to continue having outdoor, drive
in movies on the grounds.
Supervisor Knabbe has been
extremely helpful throughout this
process, and will take the
proposal which the city is
sending to the other supervisors.
While it's not a "done deal" yet,
the chances of the entire Board of
Supervisors approving it are
excellent, according to Clark.
This will be an important
addition to city facilities for
community enrichment, since
Tremont Hall, the only other
venue, is already overused.
