2. LAPD IMPORTANT PHONE NUMBERS
The flyers below provide helpful information if you ever need to call the LAPD. In addition to the phone numbers, the flyers explain when to call for emergencies and non-emergencies as well as tips when calling 911 and other resources.
3. UCLA HELICOPTER FLIGHT PATHS
Thank you to our neighbors in WHPOA for the following information:
From time to time, neighbors have complained about helicopters flying close overhead. We just received from UCLA an updated flight-path map for helicopter pilots arriving and departing from Ronald Reagan Hospital, which directs pilots away from our neighborhood and several other nearby neighborhoods. The map is shown below
- Approaches from the north, northwest and northeast are shown in green
- Approaches from the south are shown in blue
- The pink line is Sunset Blvd.
Of course, in case of real emergencies or truly time-sensitive deliveries, pilots will take what they regard as the most direct route.

6. ACTIVITIES & THINGS TO DO
Crossroads / The Exploding Digital Inevitable
In-person: Q&A with Ross Lipman, Michelle Silva (Conner Family Trust)
Sunday, July 30 at 7:00 PM
at the Billy Wilder Theater
Christopher Nolan’s film “Oppenheimer” has generated a massive wave of renewed interest in the events surrounding the birth of the atomic bomb. Now, viewers have an opportunity to view not only a seminal documentary about 1940s atomic weapons testing, but also one filmmaker’s view of how that documentary came together.
“Crossroads,” which was produced in 1976 by Bruce Conner, is 36 minutes of extreme slow-motion replays accompanied by an original score by composers Terry Riley and Patrick Gleeson. Its source material is government footage from the 1946 atomic bomb tests at Bikini Atoll in the Pacific Ocean, which were dubbed Operation Crossroads.
When the film was restored in 2012, the effort was overseen by Ross Lipman, a former UCLA Film & Television Archive preservationist, and filmmaker Michelle Silva of the Conner Family Trust. Lipman was so fascinated by “Crossroads” that he produced his own live documentary about its unique production, called “The Exploding Digital Inevitable.” (A live documentary is a curation of media clips accompanied by analysis in live narration.)
As part of this program, The Exploding Digital Inevitable will be presented jointly with Crossroads for a total run time of 90 minutes.

CARPET & UPHOLSTERY CLEANER – RECOMMENDATION
I would like to recommend Martin for excellent carpet, upholstery, windows, and grout cleaning. He came highly recommended from a friend. Martin and his sons cleaned several sofas and an area rug. Excellent, reasonable, honest, and reliable. I called first and took a photo which I texted to him.
