La Mirada~"The Tony Aiello Show", an Internet radio program, that debuted in 2000, is returning to www.adviceradio.com Monday, January 25th, 2010 at 6:00 P.M. PT.

Instead of just a portion of the program being about La Mirada, the entire one-hour live program will be dedicated to La Mirada news and events. There will be interviews with La Mirada guests, call-ins, anything, everything La Mirada.

The show will run for four weeks, and we will evaluate from there. We are looking for advertisiers, supporters, and sponsors to keep the show going.

How can I fill an hour with La Mirada stuff? Who knows. We'll see how long it lasts. It should make for an interesting hour.

A whole hour of live La Mirada talk coming Monday, September 15th, and every Monday  at 6:00 P.M., right before "Wise Guys" on AdviceRadio.com.

Call 800-405-6425 to get on-the-air.

Advertisers, call 562-945-6469 to get audio advertising on the program.

Mike and Lupita Lopez say goodbye to a car that has been with Mike-in La Mirada-since 1954.

La Mirada~ Mike Lopez of La Mirada summed it up in a few words, "Boy, I sure hate to see her go."

The "her' he is referring to is his beloved 1951 Studebaker Starlite, which has called Lopez' La Mirada garage, home, for 55 years.

Lopez says he literally, "bought the car from a little old lady in Pasadena. I then drove it to work and back for the next 20 years."

After purchasing the automobile in 1954, Lopez bought his then brand-new La Mirada home in 1956, and the car has been with him every step of the way, until now.

The car with its legendary "panoramic view" back windows, has been a  familiar sight in this La Mirada neighborhood for many years,especially when it was in its prime.

"She never once broke down on me during all of these years", Lopez said.

It has had a few paint jobs over the years, and remains in excellent condition; and it still runs.

However, the last 10 years or so, the car has mostly had garage duty, with only occasional outings.

Now, his daugter Marcy and her husband Richard of Corona, have purchased the car and it's time for it to move on to a new generation within the family.

October 22, 2009 A Thousand Cranes Sadako Saski was 2 years old when the atomic bomb dropped on the small city she lived in: Hiroshima. Ten years later, she was diagnosed with "radiation sickness." A Thousand Cranes tells the true and poignant story of her battle and the tradition of folding origami miniatures: If a sick person folds a thousand cranes, the Gods will grant her a wish and make her healthy. She happily begins folding hundreds of colorful paper cranes; when she falls short, her classmates continue her mission by folding 650 more cranes. A statue of Sadako, as a tribute to all of the children killed by the bombings, stands tall in the Hiroshima Tribute Garden. The production is Written by  Kathryn Schultz Miller and Directed by Kate Barrett.
