Fiesta de Artes-The Legendary La Mirada Festival of the Arts
A PORTRAIT OF THE LA MIRADA FIESTA de ARTES
by Cathy Moses
IN THE BEGINNING... It wasn't long after La Mirada became a city in 1960 that their celebration of the arts began. By that time the beautiful rolling hills studded with olive orchards of the vast McNally Rancho had been supplanted by new tract houses, schools, and a new shopping center for the energetic young families moving into Southern California.
Keenly deciding they wanted to determine their own future, the residents soon incorporated La Mirada and elected their first city council--Jack Clifford, Jerry Resnick, Estelle Troup, Jim Jenkins, and Dick Danson--to set their city's future. (more)

LETTER-TO-THE-EDITOR: Is La Mirada deteriorating before our eyes?
Dear Editor,
We share a love for our fair city.
However, equal time should be given to the fact that parts of the city are in a slow decline into a squalor that is comparable to older parts of LA County.
A walk down around my own neighborhood identifies homes, businesses, shopping yards, and/or parkways are unkept. Dead lawns, peeling paint, oil stained driveways, weeds, bus stops, inoperable vehicles - a general lack of care - are contributing to a general blight. (more)

City Council reorganization features a refreshing change
The La Mirada City Council conducted its annual reorganization last month selecting Steve De Ruse as Mayor for the 2023-24 term.
Councilmember Andrew Sarega was selected to serve as Mayor Pro Tem in a 4-0 vote with Councilman John Lewis abstaining.
It seems as if everyone is beginning to get warm and fuzzy all over as this may indicate an end to the 10-year contentious era in which Sarega was passed over twice when it was his “turn,” which had been the traditional way La Mirada had always chosen their next Mayor and Pro Tems. (more)
REVIEW: Unleashing delirious delights of The Rocky Horror Picture Show in La Habra
This interactive experience of the cult classic is a must-attend event that will transport you to a world of delightful madness
So there I was, folks, in the heart of La Habra at this tiny local theater tucked away inside a historic train depot. And what was happening? Oh, just your average SOLD OUT PERFORMANCE of a mind-bending, booty-shaking, corset-sporting extravaganza known as the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
The atmosphere crackled with “antici… pation”, like an electric shock from Dr. Frank-N-Furter's lab. Let me tell you, dear readers, attending this shindig was more fun than a barrel of transsexual aliens. (more)
