By Ron Bassilian I suppose my name has gotten out a bit ahead of me. In the past few months I’ve gone from casual observer of Culver City politics, to concerned citizen, to specter of the "Alt Right" that the City Council must defend against in the interest of all things human. It’s gotten a bit out of control, a bit much for any mortal voter to bear. So, I figure you should all know a bit about me, the man who was behind the June 8th Brown Act complaint against our Council, and how a few simple queries on rent control and policing have met...

Failing to take advantage of this unique experience would be a cat-astrophic oversight, especially since it couldn’t be more convenient to check out the yellow truck that looks like a giant cat with ears, whiskers and a tail and is fu...

I always knew "green rooms" could be dangerous places - especially back in the 70's and 80's at the height of metal and then with 90's punk and free-flowing drugs and alcohol, but Jeremy Saulnier takes the idea of a green room to a whole new deliciously twisted level with GREEN ROOM. As we know from “Blue Ruin”, Saulnier is adept at carefully placed and judiciously utilized tongue-in-cheek double entendres, and GREEN ROOM is no different; most notably with the band's name - "The Ain't Rig...

It's common to see new pet parents whirled around with their legs wrapped up in 6 feet of leash; however, puppy or adult, a dog is highly adaptable and aware of what their parents want. Like many other aspects of dog training, teaching a dog to walk nicely on a leash is fundamental. It takes time and effort, but the payoff is a dog that is a pleasure to walk. Before beginning leash-training, it is essential for pet parents to check whether the dog is wearing the appropriate collar. Two fingers...

Features Writer For those unfamiliar with the slang of the 1920s, "the cat's meow" refers to someone or something highly admired, and on Saturday, September 20 that cat-egorically described the featured visitor at Culver City's Adopt & Shop, 4235 Sepulveda Blvd. Fans of the celebrity cat sensation, Lil Bub, converged for a charity "meet and greet' with a puss that had everyone purring, and little wonder – this breakout star of the Internet with over one million social media fans is an a...
By Neil Rubenstein Observer Columnist Have you read or heard about Operation Stingray? For those not in the loop or in the process of being cleared by the FBI for non-classified rumors, Stingray supposedly identifies itself to be the telephone company’s tower, but in reality it sends the police all data that you broadcast on your cell phone. Don’t worry. As of this time my source on the Culver City Police Department said, “We don’t use Stingray.” This person is so believably honest that if I...
