It was a big weekend for the FHRA kicking off the holidays by decorating our favorite bridge! The lights are up and so is the cheer! Also, keep an eye out for the new issue of The Overview with a beautiful rendition of the Shakespeare Bridge on the cover by local artist MJ Collin and all sorts of stories about our lovely neighborhood’s history. Happy Holidays!
FHRA 2nd Annual Halloween Block Party a Big Success
Our expectations were surpassed this year with an unbelievable turn out for the Block Party! Radio Street turned out to be the perfect location for the festivities and our new board member, Cindy Solovei was gracious enough to offer her amazing patio for the wine grotto where Bonny Doon Vineyard donated a wonderful selection of wines from their Santa Cruz winery. Thanks to all the volunteers, bands (Sage and Fool and Dagnasterpus) and the wonderful Franklin Hills neighbors for making this year’s event and overwhelming success.
Fall Decorations are Up on the Shakespeare Bridge!
Fall is upon us! This past weekend the FHRA and volunteers set up the decorations on both ends of the bridge to ring in the Fall season and get ready for a spooky Halloween. Come by and check it out!
Udell Court Stairs Clean-Up
A big thanks to all the neighbors who showed up in the heat and left over humidity from tropical storm Kay! It was one of our best turn outs and that certainly helped make quick work of it. Look forward to the next one!
P22 Visits the Shakespeare Bridge!
Last night at 3:23am we had a visit from one of our areas most famous felines. At first I thought someone’s very large dog had gotten out and then it hit me, THAT IS NOT A DOG! P22, his collar clearly visible, casually sauntered by our driveway on Monon St., just under the Shakespeare Bridge, on his way towards Marshall H.S. Having lived in Los Feliz for over 20 years I’ve seen plenty of wildlife around but I never thought P22 would come all the way down here for a visit. It was a thrill to see such a large and wild animal on our street and a reminder of how intertwined our world is with there’s.

Udell Ct Stairs Clean Up
We had a great turn out for the stairs clean up! Twenty neighbors donated their time including members of the CD4 office and council person Nithya Raman to help out. We are grateful to all the volunteers and hope to see you again for another community clean up!
In Memoriam Chris Boutelle
It was with great shock and sadness that we lost one of our longtime FHRA members to a tragic accident just before Thanksgiving this year. Chris was one of the longest serving members of the organization and graciously shared his time and talents to help bring our community together. FHRA has set up a small memorial on the Shakespeare Bridge to honor his memory and all his work to better the neighborhood. He will be sorely missed. R.I.P.
First Annual Halloween Block Party Was A Huge Success!
FHRA would like to extend our sincere thanks to all the neighbors who came out to our Block Party this past Saturday. We were overwhelmed by the turn out and by your generous donations for the homeless! A big thank you to the bands for donating their time and talent, Urban Press Winery for setting up the tasting, CD4 for lending us chairs, tables and tents and last but not least all the FHRA members who helped prepare and set up for the event. Hope to see everyone next year!
