Culver City Observer -

If Culver City is rallying a city for everyone, as promoted by the October 11th event at La Ballona school. Why didn’t Culver City use city owned land at Washington and Centinela for affordable housing?

Fox Hills cannot support more housing or population; they feel like they are suffocating.

Recently a source informed me of a rumor flying around town. I love listening, because it just might be true or false and it just might languish for months.

Now many know Chief Bixby believes in Culver City and just might run and get elected to the Culver City Council. I am ready to get Bixby elected.
