News Briefing -- July 9, 2007

Back in action...


  • Burbank story of the day -- A chat with Tim Stehr, soon-to-be chief of the Burbank Police Department. He started out as a cadet right here, and now he's about to be running the place.

  • Glendale Police has been busy -- they arrested Kevin Cunningham, 22, whose runaway fireworks lit-up an apartment building on Chevy Chase Dr. Then on Thursday, they arrested two men on suspicion of attempted murder for a shooting in Brand Park a couple weeks ago.

  • If you only get your news from these Internets, the biggest news to come out of Burbank last week was the conversion of the 7-Eleven on Verdugo and Olive into a Kwik-E-Mart -- part of a big fantasy-intrusion-into-the-real-world marketing campaign for the upcoming Simpsons movie.

  • Lisa Burks over at valleynews.com tries to make sense of the Grand View executor Tom Trimble's cemetery bail-out plan.

More to come...

East of the 5

The news and views from Glendale, Burbank and adjacent 'hoods, brought to you by Daily News reporter Alex Dobuzinskis (And yes, we know a chunk of Burbank is WEST of the 5, but "Mostly East of the 5" doesn't quite have the same ring to it.)
