One of my favorite stories in this month’s edition was submitted by Thomas Starr King Middle School student William Suy about getting local restaurants to stop offering plastic straws. Good luck William on your request. It’s a good one.

We also take a look back at the old Los Feliz Drive-In that was (along with baseball fields) demolished in Griffith Park for the 5 Freeway. Coincidentally, on our front page this month, we have a story that the Greater Griffith Park Neighborhood Council has unanimously adopted a resolution to support the construction of two youth ball fields in Griffith Park (whether or not this is a good idea or not is our online poll this month. Visit losfelizledger.com to have your opinion counted.)

It was also a bit shocking to see what the Los Angeles Redistricting Commission has come up with for new boundaries for Los Angeles City Council District 4 (LaBonge’s) district, see our story on page 9 and our website for the proposed map; changes proposed to Council District 13 (Eric Garcetti’s) district as well as proposed new districts for the city.

Also important this month: with the prospect of more budget cuts to the Los Angeles Unified School District, please read local principals thoughts on this, in their own words, on page 6.
