May God bless you and your family this coming year. Let’s start the new year off with some questions: How was your Christmas? This Christmas was a little different for me, my family, and my Ramona tract neighbors. After I returned from our midnight Christmas Eve church service, I was out locking our side gate in the wee hours of Christmas morning, I looked up and saw the night sky light up. I knew right away that an electrical transformer had blown out in the high winds. Our electrical power immediately shut off. We had no power for Christmas Day. Luckily, my sonin law saved us by bringing over a generator to keep our refrigerator going. To make it a real Christmas, we also hooked up the Christmas tree lights. Some how, my dear wife was able to pull off a great dinner for the entire family and a few friends. To top off the day, my wife’s car was broken into that evening and her GPS system was taken. God is good, even with these little mishaps, we had a great celebration of Jesus’ birth. How long after January 1 should we greet one another with “Happy New Year”? In other words, how far into the month of January is the “new year” new? It’s probably about as long as us keeping our new year’s resolutions. The newness wears off real fast. The turning of the calendar gives us a fresh start. We try to do some things differently. We try to eat smarter. We try to exercise more. We try to do all the things that we are supposed to do. However, we get lazy. We fall back into our old ways. We eat too much. We stop our exercise routines. If nothing else, we should forget about all the bad that has weighed us down and begin to make this year “happy” for us and those around us. How will the new stadium in Inglewood afect Hawthorne? So, Inglewood is going to build a football stadium. How will that affect Hawthorne? IF the stadium is built, it should be a real boon to the City of Good Neighbors. 80,000 people attending events at the new facility will spill over to our hotels, restaurants and shops. Fans will be looking for hotel rooms close by that are affordable and nice. There should be many construction and permanent jobs created by the facility. The economic impact on our city should be noticeable. I always take the approach that “I will believe it when I see it”. We have heard of many stadium plans in the past, even one where the Hawthorne Airport would be the site of a new stadium. Until the bulldozers show up to start knocking down the racetrack, some of us will be hesitant about being overly excited. When will the Hawthorne Blvd. remodeling project be completed? March of this year has been the target date for the total completion. It will be nice when all of the work is done to our major roadway. Some other questions regarding the project might be, “Will the renovations make a difference for store owners along the thoroughfare? Will the residents find the changes an improvement or not? Will some of the safety issues for crossing the street and the overall traffic flow help to make our “down town” area safer? We shall see. It will diffidently be different. Will you attend a community event this year? I try to keep you informed as to upcoming city events. There are many throughout the year. I hope you make an effort to attend many of these worthwhile, community-building activities. The Hawthorne Historical Society welcomes new members and our meetings are open to the public. Our next meeting will be held on Monday, January 26th starting at 6:30 p.m. at the Hawthorne Museum. We will have a program and refreshments. Also, please mark your calendars for a Hawthorne Hometown Pancake Breakfast to be held on Saturday, February 28 from 8 a.m. to 12 noon out in front of the museum.
