For the month of August, the Torrance Historical Society has been hosting Late Night Thursdays at the Museum.
Tonight, you can watch the History of the Hollywood Riviera DVD by Sherwin Rubin (it will be playing from 4:00 PM – 8:00 PM – stop by any time). The DVD is only about 25 minutes long — it will continue to loop until closing. You’re invited to pop in and view their extensive collection of photos and city-related memorabilia — including maps of the oil wells, and a blueprint of how to construct an oil derrick!
Environmental projects for Torrance
The South Coast Air Quality Management District held a Community Meeting in Torrance on August 24 to discuss ideas for environmental projects in Torrance which will be funded with monies received in a settlement agreement with ExxonMobil.
Some of the suggestions so far for how to best spend the money have included air quality monitoring devices, reverse 911 calls, improved alarm systems and solar energy programs.
More information on this subject, with contact information, can be found here on the AQMD website.
Recent burglaries
Please note that there have been two recent Riviera burglaries – one lower (Calle Mayor) and one upper Riviera (Paseo de las Tortugas).
As always, please be vigilant! If you see something – say something!!! If your street doesn’t have a Neighborhood Watch, start one!
