Annenberg Foundation Proposes a Visitor’s Center in the Ballona Wetlands

The Annenberg Foundation has plans to try to help restore the Ballona Wetlands by creating a Visitor’s Center.
The foundation hopes to partner with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, the State Coastal Conservancy and the Santa Monica Bay Restoration Commission on the project which would be in a 30-acre zone known as Area C South.
“We would be part of the overall restoration process,” said Geoff Maleman, a spokesperson for the Annenberg Foundation.
Maleman said the area would be bordered south by Culver Boulevard, east by Lincoln Boulevard and west of the 90 Freeway. The visitors’ center would consist of indoor and outdoor exhibits. The project would also include restoring the area around where the center would be built, according to Maleman.
“We would reintroduce native species and remove all non-native plants,” Maleman said. “That would foster a new healthy, fluorishing habitat.”
Some environmental advocates are opposed to the project. The Venice Neighborhood Council has also, in the past, expressed disapproval with restoration plans in the area.
The Annenberg Foundation would commit at least $50 million to fund the project, according to the Annenberg Foundation’s website.
The proposal must go through an environmental impact report which should be drafted by late summer, Maleman said.

Burglars Try To Steal Centinela Starbuck’s Safe – Caught On Surveillance Video

The Starbucks at Centinela and Jefferson was burglarized in the wee hours of Saturday morning. The burglars smashed the cash register and tried to steal the entire safe. They were not able to open it, but decided to try and pry the whole safe away from the wall to steal it. An internal alarm was sounded, the alarm company saw the burglars doing their deed on surveillance video and called the store. The phone call spooked the burglars and they fled. Police were there right away and an airship. Initial reports showed two males leaving through the front door. Lots of video of these clowns… clock is ticking for the fools who knock over a Starbucks that is closest to LAPD Pacific Station. Employees are now at the store trying to deal with the whole situation. The doors were locked when LAPD arrived and there were no signs of forced entry. Video surveillance shall reveal all…
