The View endorses Measure B, which directs the City to charter a public bank. This flier, with its startlingly fresh denunciations of Wall Street, was put up on Magnolia Boulevard by a voter justifiably irate over Wall Street’s stranglehold on America’s cities.

After a year of blogging at Tumblr, the Valley Village View has migrated to WordPress! Thanks for following. I’ve transferred the archives of my posts over here; I hope they are all accessible, and that the hash-tags and what-not coordinate with my new posts. I will move to “categorize” the posts if I can, so that my music files, say, or the One Minute of Tranquility videos, can be found quickly.

Check back frequently for new photos of California wildlife, vernacular architecture, historical plaques, and civic and cultural landmarks.

Warning: cat photos, political conniptions, digressions into the history of civilization, family snapshots, and personal memorabilia will occasionally intrude.
