Last-Minute Tax Help at the Central Library Today

Glendale, CA · April 15, 2026

Happy Wednesday—if you’re rushing to meet the midnight filing deadline, the Central Library has extra resources ready for you today, and the calm, clear weather is a welcome backdrop for any last-minute errands.

The Lead

The Verdugo Wash Vision is moving from concept to concrete planning this week as the city begins reviewing updated environmental impact reports for the proposed 9.4-mile "linear park." For residents, this means the long-discussed dream of walking or biking from the Crescenta Valley all the way to the Los Angeles River is getting closer to reality. The project aims to transform the concrete flood control channel into a public greenway, mirroring the success of urban trail systems in other major cities but with a distinctly local focus on drought-tolerant landscaping and much-needed shade structures. While full construction is still on the horizon, today marks a significant shift in how the city prioritizes green space over industrial infrastructure. It is a long-term play to cool the city and provide a safe, car-free artery for both daily commuters and weekend explorers.

What's On Around Town

  • Live Jazz on Brand The Leftwing, 301 N Brand Blvd 7:30 PM – 10:00 PM Local musicians take the stage for an intimate evening of jazz. There is no cover charge, but arriving early is recommended to snag a table near the window.

  • Pasadena: Evening at the Norton Simon Norton Simon Museum, 411 W Colorado Blvd 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM Just a ten-minute drive away, the sculpture garden is particularly peaceful at dusk. A great way to clear your head with some world-class art.

Spotlight & Story

  • Museum of Neon Art (MONA)
    • Located right on Brand Boulevard, the Museum of Neon Art is more than just a collection of glowing signs; it is a preservation lab for California’s electric history. From the iconic Brown Derby sign to vintage motel beacons, the museum keeps the "lost" art of glass bending alive. Glendale became the museum's permanent home in 2016, and it now serves as a glowing anchor for the downtown arts district, reminding us that even commercial advertising can become high art with enough voltage and craftsmanship.
