Dining, Arts & Entertainment

January is a month where we celebrate everything new, so when I was presented with a new and unique opportunity I was happy to oblige.  I was lucky enough to be introduced to five different styles of barbeque in one sitting at T-Bo’s House of Barbeque.
When I first met Executive Chef Cameron McClean his warm and welcoming presence truly reflected in the atmosphere and décor of T-Bo’s House of Barbeque.  In being greeted by the hostess at the front counter to the server and the service provided, everything is done with care, commitment and love.

We are starting the year off with a bang at J.R.’s Comedy Club, now in our 12th year.  We have always strived to bring star talent to Santa Clarita.  Each week, you can always count on seeing two top-notch comics, many of whom have had their own television shows, Comedy Specials, and starred in movies.  On January 15 and 16, we have one of the top drawing comedians in Southern California at our club. 

My “friend” Holly recently met the man of her dreams on a dating site.  She’s in her late 40s and lives here in the SCV.  He’s 52, but lives in Long Beach.  Even though they were G.U. (geographically undesirable) to each other, he still asked her out.  They met in Santa Monica for lunch and spent the next five hours talking, getting Starbucks after lunch, and walking along Palisades Park.

Resolve to “Staycation In Your Own Backyard” in 2010.  No need to pack the car, make hotel reservations and travel hours from home to find something different, exciting, educational and especially fun to do.  It’s only a short 20-minute drive from the Santa Clarita Valley to Fillmore, home of The Movie Trains. 

Nothing tells someone you love them like a Singing Valentine.  Santa Clarita Valley’s own Men of Harmony Barbershop Quartets will serenade your sweetheart at home, at work or anywhere you choose in the Santa Clarita Valley.  Your singing gift that says “I Love You” includes a two love song Serenade, a Valentine’s Day card with your personalized greeting and a flower gift.

Are you a young woman between the ages of 14 and 17 who volunteers in your community or school?  Who sees challenges instead of obstacles?  Hope instead of despair?  If you are a young woman who believes in the power of volunteer action, then you may be eligible to win a Soroptimist Violet Richardson Award.

Greetings!  I hope that you and your family enjoyed a happy holiday season.
It is my honor to serve as your Mayor this year.  For those of you who may not know me, I have served as a City Councilmember for the last 12 years.  I started my career with the City even before cityhood by serving on the City formation committee.  I was then selected as one of the original members of the City’s first Parks Commission.  I have always had a passion for trails, parks and open space for your community.  I am very proud of the progress our City and its partners have made with regard to our trails, paseos, parks, open space and recreation facilities over the last two decades.

Hart High Show Choir will host a wonderful evening of musical entertainment on Friday, January 8 at 7p.m. when the men’s a cappella group, The Spizzwinks? from Yale University will perform at Show Choir’s second annual alumni concert. 

Why make all this fuss about fresh fish?  How about those who are pregnant?  People tell me all the time that they are pregnant and they cannot have fish, especially raw fish. Why do doctors tell their patients this when there are so many benefits to eating fish such as the omega-3 fatty acids that everyone knows about now, but did you know that there are recent studies that indicate that it lowers prostate cancer risk, helps with depression, and inflammation reduction?  Did you know that doctors in Japan recommend pregnant women to eat fish, even sushi during their pregnancy?

The twelfth night after Christmas, January 6, was a time when servants and masters would exchange clothes and take on each other’s persona.  Shakespeare’s play is certainly in this tradition.  And, due to an unexpected opening in the CTG’s calendar, we are pleased to be able to present Twelfth Night for a limited two weekend run, beginning just two days after twelfth night (January 8, 2010).

The City of Santa Clarita invites community members to register to participate in the 2010 Winter Adult Soccer Tournament.

Kisho Sushi Bar & Teppanyaki Continues a Standard of Superior Service
For those whom have lived in Santa Clarita since what feels like the beginning, Kisho Sushi Bar & Teppanyaki has been a familiar name in excellent food.  For those new to our lovely City – welcome to the next level of Japanese cuisine.

Santa is gearing up for his famous Christmas Eve journey to the homes of children all over the world.  But before that, he is making a few stops along the way, most notably on the Fillmore & Western Railway’s variety of holiday trains. 
There are still seats available for families on the North Pole Express on Wednesdays through Sundays with trains departing at 6 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., which began on November 28 and will run through December 27. 

Happy holidays!  December is here, and that means it’s time to buy a gift.  Why not give the gift of laughter?  Reward your employees by having a holiday party with us.  It will be an affordable and memorable night for all.  We can accommodate up to 95 people with dinner and a killer comedy show.  And we can top it off with pie!

In the early evening hours of November 2, 1920, the history of human communication changed forever when, atop the Westinghouse “K” Building in East Pittsburgh, radio station KDKA began its first broadcast with reports on election returns in the Presidential race between Warren G. Harding and James M. Cox. It was the first radio station in the United States to be granted a limited commercial license.

The holidays are here and so are the stars!  Thank you for all your emails and sightings!
