Oriental Home
SITE AREA: Your Home - Inside SCV Homes
Have you noticed an Asian theme creeping into home decor recently? Blue and white ceramics overflowing with orchids, imitation bamboo candlesticks, even brightly-colored brocade diaper bags? As we all become a little more cosmopolitan - thanks perhaps to the Discovery Channel more tha...

Entertaining the Question
SITE AREA: Your Home - Interior Looks
Dear Grilling Goddesses, I know that fall's right around the corner, but I'm not quite ready to retire the old barbeque. Help me go out with a bang! To end summer in style, you first need to know the difference between grilling and barbecuing.

Bumping into the Present
SITE AREA: Family - Family Features
The "ding, ding, ding" of the Farrell's Ice Cream Parlor bell clashed with the clunk of wooden balls landing on the slick striped surface of the Skee Ball game at Mountasia. Arcade sounds form a stark contrast to the shrill alarms of IV pumps and overhead pages that families faced wit...

An Inside Look into the Mind of a High School Student
SITE AREA: Family - Family Features
Two months ago, I was triumphantly strutting through the halls of Valencia High School as the final bell signaled the conclusion of my freshman year. A sense of liberation overcame me, replacing the apprehension felt over the last nine months. Summer was beckoning, and I was about to ...

Kid's Review
SITE AREA: Family - Family Features
J.K. Rowling changed my life. In second grade, I read just as much as everyone else, maybe even less. My mom and my grandma love to read, so they were always buying new books for me. One day, my mom bought me the first Harry Potter book. As I started to read the first few pages, I cou...

Summer's Last Stand
SITE AREA: Beauty - Hair & Makeup
There aren't a lot of reasons to love Santa Clarita summers, but here's one: our hot season stretches into fall. Take advantage of the irony by slipping one of these tanks over your bronzed shoulders.

Ann on Aging
SITE AREA: Health - Seniors
Ok, so maybe there's a wee bit of wishful thinking tied up in this article's title... However, I've got to believe that as we age, the would-of, could-of, should-of, 20-20 hindsight thing becomes much more pronounced. Perhaps this is precipitated by the fact that when we're over 50 we...

The Family Therapist is In
SITE AREA: Health - Healthy & Happy
All children deserve the chance to have a healthy mom and all moms deserve the chance to enjoy their babies. However, postpartum depression can take that chance away. It's a very real type of depression that occurs after pregnancy. Unfortunately many women don't or won't tell anyone a...

Dee-lish! - Mom Can Cook Thai Kitchen
SITE AREA: Eat, Drink & Play - The Dish
If you can find it, Mom Can Cook Thai Kitchen is a worthwhile adventure in traditional Thai cuisine. Literally out of sight and hidden away at the end of a strip mall on Soledad Canyon Road, Mom Can Cook is a small and secluded restaurant you'll wish you had found sooner.
12.
A Classic Car Cavalcade
SITE AREA: Eat, Drink & Play - Start your Engines
You can hear the commotion of revving engines miles away, you are consumed with intrigue from the parade of beautifully restored classics piling up from the various off-ramps of the 14 and the 5 and you can smell the charcoal of the barbeque grilling away delicious Joni Maroni sausage...

Hart Mansion
SITE AREA: Eat, Drink & Play - Entertainment

Armed and Dangerously Talented
SITE AREA: Eat, Drink & Play - Entertainment
At the crucial age of 22, when most young 20-somethings are just breaking through the seal of independence, Devin Bronson's guitar skills have awarded him the attitude of a professional, the wit of a quick-tongued comedian, the cell phone roster of a Hollywood manager and the marked-u...

What's for Lunch?
SITE AREA: Eat, Drink & Play - Entertainment
While a school calendar gives many families a familiar routine, "back to school" means meals are often put on the back burner. When the kids get hungry, driving through a fast food restaurant fits right into the busy schedule SCV parents are famous for. Unfortunately, as the lines at ...

Great Finds - Vincent Hill Station Restaurant and Saloon
SITE AREA: Eat, Drink & Play - Entertainment
Along a whispery drive down the 14 North, through Vasquez rocks and past the aqueduct, rests a budding saloon and restaurant disguised as an old railroad station with a permanent train in the back to boot. From the looks of it, Vincent Hill Station has a hidden past that beckons patro...

Movers And Shakers
SITE AREA: Eat, Drink & Play - Entertainment
Yes, that is Santa Clarita's own Dr. Mike Golpa schmoozing with Mrs. USA. Seems that the prestigious doctor has been selected as a judge for the 2006 Mrs. U.S. Globe Pageant. The event is sponsored by the international WIN (Women In Need) Foundation, which promotes health and well-bei...

Bras for a Cause Returns to Santa Clarita
SITE AREA: Eat, Drink & Play - Entertainment

Entertainment in the SCV

Total Financial Makeover
SITE AREA: Business
Why do we spend 18 years raising our children, teaching them to behave, and telling them to do well in school? Because we want the best for them. We tell them that they should study hard for college, but we can sometimes neglect our part, that we may want to help them pay for it. If ...
