Fire Illuminates Griffith Park Observatory. 75% Contained.
I don’t know about you, but to me, it seems like if I were to continue talking about great places to visit, restaurants to eat at, and so on during a time when there’s a brush fire ravaging one of the greatest landmarks in L.A., it’d be a little insensitive.
And out of place.
I really hate it when I’m watching the local news, and they go from talking about a murder, car accident, or some other terrible tragedy, and directly proceed into another “happy” story with huge smiles on their faces. The same thing has been happening the past few days with coverage on the fire. Something kinda like I heard today: “800 acres have now been burned in the fire. In other news, the Dodgers beat the Marlins 5-3 today.” It makes me sick, and I refuse to be the same way.
So hopefully this will be my last post on the Griffith Park Fire. As of last night, it was 75% contained, and expected to be fully contained by late tonight.
City Councilman Tom LaBonge said that this fire is the worst Los Angeles has seen since the Bel Air fire of 1961.
