The L.A. River is in the midst of a long-term transformation for the better and the non-profit Friends of the Los Angeles River is one big reason why. We at Laemmle Theatres are ardent supporters of FOLAR and its mission, through Laemmle Charitable Foundation donations and hands-on help. The next three weekends will provide ample opportunities for the latter via the 26th Annual La Gran Limpieza: The Great Los Angeles River CleanUp.
Learn more and sign up here to join other caring, forward-thinking members of your community at one of several sites along the river’s meandering path through our megalopolis, including Atwater Village, Elysian Valley, Compton Creek and more.
‘CicLAvia: The Valley’ is this Sunday! Stop by the NoHo 7!
CicLAvia will make the San Fernando Valley its home on March 22 when Metro Presents CicLAvia – The Valley takes place from 9 AM to 4 PM. The first CicLAvia of 2015 represents the inaugural visit of L.A.’s renowned open streets event to the storied Valley. Participants will be able to travel between North Hollywood and Studio City on car-free streets, using foot, pedal and non-motorized wheel power.
The event runs 5 1/2 miles along Lankershim Boulevard between the North Hollywood Metro Red Line stop at Chandler Boulevard and the Universal Studio Red Line stop, and along Ventura Boulevard between Campo de Cahuenga and Coldwater Canyon. The route will highlight some of the gems of the East Valley including the North Hollywood Arts District, Universal City, the historic Campo de Cahuenga, Studio City Farmers Market and the famed Sportsmen’s Lodge.
The Valley route is made possible with a grant from Metro Los Angeles.
New to CicLAvia? Here are four things you need to know for March 22:
- It’s FREE!
- It’s not a race and you don’t need a bike to participate. You can walk or skate to your heart’s content.
- There’s no beginning or end. You can start anywhere and go as far or as short as you want.
- The flow of participants goes both ways, just like regular traffic.
We at Laemmle adore CicLAvia and this is the first time one of our theaters will be right on the route so we’re trying something special this time around: See your social media posts on a movie screen! Stop by the Laemmle NoHo 7 during CicLAvia this Sunday to share your CicLAvia photos on the big screen. Simply tag your Instagram and Twitter posts with #LaemmleVia! Sit back with friends, post photos, enjoy some free popcorn, and listen to Valley-related songs. It’s all free from 9 AM – 4 PM!
We’re located at 5240 Lankershim Blvd. between Weddington and Magnolia.
Park your bike at the Valley’s only bike corral right outside the
theater on Lankershim.
Hope to see you there!

Election Day: Get Out and Vote or Get Out the Vote on March 3rd
This Tuesday, March 3rd is the 2015 City of Los Angeles Municipal Election Day and there are a lot of races to decide: We’re looking at open offices for Council Districts 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14; LAUSD Districts 1, 3, 5, and 7; and LACCD Seats 1, 3, 5, and 7. Get out and vote and if you already voted or didn’t need reminding, look around you to see if there’s someone you know who hasn’t voted or does need reminding. L.A. County in particular has terrible voter turn-out — 31% last time! — and there are some good ideas being discussed to better that, but in the meantime, nagging will have to do. :)

Riveting One-Man Play WRESTLING JERUSALEM ~ Two Nights Only at Pico Union Project
The good folks at the Pico Union Project are hosting a powerful one-man play called WRESTLING JERUSALEM on Friday and Saturday, February 6 and 7. Set in America, Israel and Palestine, WRESTLING JERUSALEM follows one man’s journey to understand the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Aaron Davidman, who also wrote the play, delivers a solo performance that grapples with the complexities of identity, history, and social justice. Giving voice to over a dozen characters, the play sheds light on one of the most entrenched conflicts of our time. Tickets are available here.
The Museum of the San Fernando Valley
Did you know that if the San Fernando Valley were its own city, it would be the fifth largest in the United States? That alone would merit the a serious museum devoted to its history, art and culture, but especially a place as rich and strange, as somehow simultaneously bland and colorful, as the Valley. As of last November, the Museum of the San Fernando Valley is a reality and, as reported recently in the L.A. Times, it’s in Northridge. As longtime and proud Valley movie theater owner-operators, Laemmle Theatres strongly encourages a visit!
