Hawthorne Happenings
News for the City of Good
Neighbors from an Old Guy
named Norb Huber
FAKE NEWS
The results are in: 3 of my readers
voted for me to continue this wantto
be comedy column and 0 readers
want me to be a boring communicator
of Hawthorne events. Even with those
overwhelming results, I have been accused of
being the greatest perpetuator of Hawthorne
“fake news”. Believe me, I do not make
this stuff up. I ran a campaign eight years
ago on transparency and I have been brutally
honest with you folks ever since. So, not to
be deterred, here we go with another week’s
worth of gems and another opportunity to share
my insights, my views, my worldly wisdom,
my prescriptions for living the good life, and
my efforts to convince you that God loves
you and me, so why should we worry. The
only fake parts of my story line is the size of
my opposition. When I say I have accusers, I
basically am referring to my extended family
members who I am unlucky enough to be
related to through marriage. They, my accusers,
are the ones that think I’m full of it. They
think I’m Mr. Hawthorne and wish to erect
a memorial statue on the Blvd. for the birds
to crap on. Don’t worry, I sift through their
comments and keep on writing for all of you
who are on my side. We look at life with a
full and overflowing glass of suds. Keep on
being “real” folks. Or if you can’t be real,
fake it, I do.
SUPER SUNDAY
Like I have said in the past, who needs a
reason to party? This Sunday is Super Bowl
Sunday. It’s a national party day. More pizza,
more Doritos, more dip, more guacamole and
more cold ones are consumed on this day
than any other all year long. So what if a
few players have taken a knee? So what if
former players have had lifelong debilitating
brain injuries from getting hit hard in the head
too many times? So what if the commercials
are too political or to weird to figure out what
they are advertising? This Sunday is a day to
indulge and have a good time with friends and
family. It’s time when betting on anything is
accepted, when gambling is just a fun thing
to do to make the game more interesting. It’s
time to stop talking about whether
our president knows the words
to the national anthem or not.
In the not too distant future,
this international attention will
be focused on our surrounding
community. Our house values
are going up. Our infrastructure
is getting repaired. We have more
restaurants to choose from. All
because the NFL has two teams located within
five miles of Hawthorne. Multiple Super Bowls
will be played in our backyard. People will
want to rent our houses for the big game in 2022
and for the 2024 Olympics. Millions of dollars
are expected to be poured into Hawthorne’s
economy. Yes, it may be Super Bowl Sunday
this Sunday, but we have a super decade to
look forward to. So, let’s party. How can
we complain when we have 80 degree sunny
weather and a cold one in hand?
HISTORICAL SOCIETY MEETING
The Hawthorne Historical Society will
meet on Monday, February 5th at 6:30 p.m.
at the new Hawthorne Museum located at Jim
Thorpe Park. Our guest speaker will be Gary
Evans the owner of Pizza Show. Gary and
his family have owned the popular restaurant
on Hawthorne Blvd. for over forty years. The
HHS will also be hosting a pancake breakfast
on Saturday, February 24 from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m.
at the Museum. The breakfast is $5. I look
forward to seeing all of my loyal readers there.
MODEL TRAINS
Did you know that Hawthorne has one of
the largest model railroad clubs in the South
Bay? Yes these hobbyists have been having
fun over at their warehouse for over 40 years.
They have over 2100 square feet of HO standard
and narrow gauge on their layout. The Los
Angeles Model Railroad Society invites you
to an open house at their facility on Saturday
and Sunday, April 7 and 8 from 10 a.m. to 4
p.m. The address is 14009 S. Crenshaw Blvd.
There is no admission charge. Free fun!
