In our last issue, we covered the community response to a surge in burglaries and attempted break-ins that tested the neighborhood’s sense of safety. This issue shows you the answer to that test.

Hard-hitting news and policy concerns aren’t part of our normal beat as a local lifestyle publication, but examples of the community coming together to solve problems are.

When Bing Crosby croons about dreaming of a Christmas “just like the ones I used to know,” it reminds us of all of Toluca Lake’s beloved seasonal traditions, which add up to decades of treasured memories.

As we celebrate our eighth annual History Issue, we also mark another year of Toluca Lake Magazine, a perfect moment to reflect with gratitude on our journey through time.

Through all life’s ups and downs, a tempo of togetherness defines our neighborhood’s signature style. The spirited pace will no doubt continue as the weather heats up and our thoughts increasingly turn to fun and entertainment.

Community events are happening around the clock in Toluca Lake, and the spirit of togetherness is more important than ever in the aftermath of January’s devastating wildfires.
