Fires

When smoke gets in your eyes

By Veronique de Turenne | November 16, 2008 7:30 AM

Dear Glendale,

Not enough smoke in the smoke-choked air for you? Not to worry! Those fireworks we planned for the Christmas tree lighting on Saturday night which, in a burst of civic-minded neighborliness, we could have postponed? We went ahead with them anyway.

Happy holidays!
