Feed The Hood Brings the Inglewood
Community a Wellness Experience
Super shout out to D Smoke and SÜPERMARKT for hosting their Feed The Hood food giveaway on the south lawn of City Hall last week. They provided the community with fresh produce, salads and vegan meals. Elevate Culture provided the soundtrack, with additional
support from these awesome organizations: Penny Pound Ice, Soully Organic, For Every Table and Sweet Green. Thank you to everyone involved. Photo courtesy City of Inglewood. •

famous. Your daughter is contending with
tremendous loss, change and isolation all
at once.
Finally, we all agreed that if your daughter
was the main character in a movie, we
would line up to see it, because there is
nothing quite as compelling as seeing a hero
face a difficult test, and circumstances have
set it up perfectly. We have seen that she is
tough. We have seen that she is clever. We
have seen that her heart is true. Together with
a strong supporting cast, your daughter has
embarked on a harrowing journey. But we can
see, and we agree, that there is good reason
to think this movie will have an ending we
will all appreciate.

wave of families and surfers who came in
and ordered food all the time,” says Bill. “But
now, we’re getting that third wave—the kids
of the original surfers.”Families are one of
the biggest supporters that Rinaldi’s credits
for keeping them afloat during the COVID-19
pandemic. Even though corporate lunches
and foot-traffic have slowed down, it’s the
families that come on weekends and share
a piece of tradition with their kids.
“Even in 2008 when the economy went
bad,” says Laura, “things were never as tough
as they are now. You know, we’re famous for
catering, but since all the offices are closed,
that side of our business has suffered. We’re a
lunch place—we don’t sell alcohol or nightlife.
But more families have been coming in and
showing great support. They’re even buying
gift cards that haven’t been redeemed yet.”
In the meantime, Rinaldi’s focuses on togo
orders and serving the community the
best food possible. “We’re doing what we’ve
always done—making customers happy with
good food.” Rinaldi’s is open for delivery and
carry-out Mon-Fri from 8 AM to 7 PM, Sat
from 9 AM to 6:30 PM, and Sun from 11
AM to 4 PM. Visit theoriginalrinaldis.com

Huber’s Hiccups from page 3
Some of us can stand up there and take one
for the team. Some of us swing and strike
out. Some of us see a hard high one coming
right for our heads, so we duck. No matter
what pitch life throws at us, don’t quit, keep
on swinging. If you strike out, just go have
a cold one with your teammates and laugh it
off, there is always another game tomorrow.
Play hard my loyal friends, all of that dirt
will come off in the wash.
Readers and Critics Respond
I receive a wide range of response to my
attempts at using the written word to enlighten,
brighten, and heighten awareness to the need
to drink a cold one, relax and enjoy life. Who
knows what I’m trying to accomplish here
every week? I let all of this crap roll off my
back, but I do smell it for awhile afterward.
Here are just a few comments: Fake news.
They are calling you out big time. Need
fact checks. You are putting out b.s. Need
a copy editor. Your column provides zero
information and only laughs and chuckles
for intelligent readers. No information for
undiscerning readers. Many readers have
contempt and disdain for the insipid drivel.
A good time to put a stop to this. “I can’t
believe you don’t tell him to stop.” (That
last quote was from my dear mother-in-law
and she has been dead for close to a year.)
On the other hand, I have a handful of loyal
readers who have not tested positive, still are
kicking, and telling me to keep on writing.
Until the roosters come home to roost, until
the fat lady stops singing, as long as the big
guy up in the sky allows me to turn on my
computer, I will continue. I will just hold
my nose and keep on typing away.
