He Changed
the Way We Shopped
Some of you may have worked with him at
Northrop, some of you may have met
him around town, but most of us have
visited one of his classic projects that
changed many of our shopping habits.
Ernest Hahn, who got his start right
here in Hawthorne, died this week
at the age of 73. He, along with a
few other developers, can claim to be
the father of the modern day shopping mall.
Starting out as a Hawthorne-based general
contractor, Hahn founded Ernest W. Hahn
Inc. in 1958 and opened his first regional
mall, La Cumbre Plaza in Santa Barbara,
in 1967. Now known as the Hahn Co., the
San Diego-based firm owns and operates 53
shopping malls totaling 40 million square feet
of retail space. Half of the Hahn centers are
located in California and include Palm Desert
Town Center in Palm Desert, Fox Hills Mall
in Culver City, The Oaks in Thousand Oaks,
Los Cerritos Center in Cerritos and Horton
Plaza in San Diego. Ernest was the best at
selling his projects to prospective tenants and
civic leaders. He was a hard man to say
no to. As we know too well, some malls
have not changed with the times and some
have closed. We all have been hoping for
the past twenty years that someone like Mr.
Hahn would come along with a vision and
a passion to make things happen at the site
of our Hawthorne Mall. Times change, we
just wish the mall ruins on Hawthorne Blvd.
would change.
Ice Cold Beer
Did you hear about the 10 year old
kid in Utah who held up a sign at a table
in front of his house that read, “Ice Cold
Beer”. While he was doing a brisk sale
from motorist passing by, the local police
rushed over to see if this minor was selling
cold ones. To everyone’s relief, he was
selling “root beer”, he had printed “root” very
Council Preps for National Night
Out, Announces Trash Program
By Derrick Deane
During a brief meeting Tuesday night, the
Hawthorne City Council began gearing up for
National Night Out in two weeks. National
Night Out will take place on Aug. 6 from 6
p.m. to 9 p.m. at Memorial Park. The annual
event is a community-building campaign that
promotes police-community partnerships and
neighborhood camaraderie. The goal of the
event is to enhance the relationship between
neighbors and law enforcement while also
fostering a true sense of community. “I want
to thank the Hawthorne Police Department,”
Mayor Pro Tem Olivia Valentine, who spearheaded
the event, said. “They are the stars
of the show.”
The event takes place nationally in all 50
states on the first Tuesday of every August
when neighborhoods host block parties, festivals,
parades, cookouts and other various
community events with safety demonstrations,
youth seminars and visits from emergency
personnel. “Our city’s event will include
food, music, games and prizes,” City Clerk
Dr. Paul Jimenez said.
The Hawthorne Police Department also
received a grant from local businesses for
serving the community. The money, which
was presented by Councilman Alex Monteiro
to Police Chief Mike Ishii, will be put to use
in the department’s K-9 Unit and community
outreach programs.
Hawthorne skipped National Night Out
last year to focus on budget issues, among
other things. With the future of Hawthorne
looking much brighter, the City is once
again participating in the community-building
event. Sponsors for the event include
Republic Services, Courtyard by Marriott,
Townplace Suites by Marriott, the
various neighborhood associations throughout
Hawthorne, and the Recreation and Community
Services Department.
“I also want to thank all of the communities
that have come out and expressed an
interest in having National Night Out again,”
Valentine said. “It looks like we’re going to
have quite a large contingent of communities
participating.” Memorial Park is located at
3901 West El Segundo Boulevard.
Another new program that the City began
on July 1 was for the new bulky trash
pickup. Each multi-family building that has
more than five units and each residential
customer is entitled to the collection of up
to 20 total bulky items per calendar year for
free. Bulky trash includes furniture, trash and
electronic waste. Customers will still need to
provide the City’s contracted hauler Republic
Services with one calendar day’s advanced
notice to schedule a pickup and are asked to
schedule pickups in groups of a maximum
of five items at a time.
There are a couple of other additional
conditions to the bulky trash program. No
single item that cannot be handled by two
workers will be accepted. Items will also not
be removed from car ports, parking lots or
subterranean parking structures and there will
be no pickup for hazardous materials such
as motor oil or anti-freeze.
Those customers who exceed the number
of free pickups may still receive bulky item
pickup, but there will be a fee charged.
Residents may call Republic Services at
1-888-742-5234 for more information and
also to schedule their bulky trash pickup. Per
Hawthorne municipal code, it is against the
law to allow waste to collect on or in front
of your property and failure to comply may
result in fines.
