Hawthorne’s “Neighborhood Family” There is a new “app” out there that allows you to “network your neighborhood”, kind of like “Facebooking” with your neighbors. By signing up, you connect with others in your neighborhood and can share important information or not so important information with each other. “Back in the day” it was much easier to connect with your neighbors. We moved into a house on the block and most of the neighbors would come over and welcome us. We shared things with one another. We borrowed tools, we shared recipes. Our kids played out on the street until the street lights came on. It was a real neighborhood where we looked out for each other. Hawthorne is known as the City of Good Neighbors. Even though society has changed, even though cultural and language differences have made us more unrelated, and even though we cherish the privacy of our homes, we still are connected. No matter what reason brought us to live here in Hawthorne, we share this time and place together. Our city is large in population and split into several distinct, diverse neighborhoods. The city limits only include 5.5 square miles, but each area of Hawthorne has a distinct feel of its own. Holly Park and Holly Glen were built by the same builder and were planned as “single family” neighborhoods with wide streets and two car garages. The same could be said about Bodger Park. Ramona, North Hawthorne and the Burleigh Tracts all have narrow lots that were planned for one car garages and not a lot of street parking. Moteta Gardens has larger lots that can accommodate “multi-family housing units”. Hawthorne is simply a microcosm of America. We are as diverse, as violent, as restless as our nation. We are hard working, lower to middle class people simply trying to make a living and provide for their families. The fireworks that boomed throughout the night on the 4th were troubling to many. The noise went on late into the morning hours. Some times our neighbors irritate us. Some times we are mad about no parking spots in front of our house. But, we are all neighbors. We are all in this together. If we can connect, communicate, and live together our Hawthorne neighborhoods can be GOOD. Movies in the Park The Holly Park Homeowners Association will be hosting their annual Movie in the Park event this Saturday, July 12 from 6 to 10 p.m. at Holly Park. Each year this is a popular, city-wide event with activities for the kids, food, and then the featured film that is shown on a large, inflatable screen out on the field. Bring a lawn chair and a jacket since it can get rather chilly after the sun goes down. Good Neighbors Day – Saturday, July 19 The 4th Annual Good Neighbors Day looks to be bigger and better than those in previous years. Our classic car show will have some nice looking cars. There are three bands scheduled to perform including the highlight of the day, Chris Montez in concert. There will be games to play, vendor booths to visit, and a video games truck to test your skill in. The activities begin at 9 a.m. and run until 3 p.m. Everything will be set up around the city hall which is located at 4455 W. 126th Street, just west of Hawthorne Blvd. Make plans to come down and enjoy a day meeting some good neighbors. “Celebrate Hawthorne” Hall of Fame Banquet There is still time to reserve a seat at the “Celebrate Hawthorne” Hall of Fame Banquet to be held on Friday, July 18. The banquet will include the Hall of Fame presentations, and a premiere screening of the video, “Hawthorne Rocks”- the musical history of Hawthorne. The cost of the banquet is $25.
