Sunday Market Plans? Bring an Umbrella for the Drizzle

Glendale, CA · April 26, 2026

Good morning — if you’re heading to the Montrose Harvest Market today, you’ll want to keep that umbrella handy as the drizzle settles in for the morning. It’s a quiet Sunday, perfect for a slow coffee at one of the new spots on Brand before the work week resets.

📰 The Lead

The city has released the latest draft for the Verdugo Wash Vision Plan, a project aiming to transform the 9.4-mile concrete channel into a lush greenway for walking and biking. This update includes new renderings for the "Upper Wash" section near the college, focusing on drought-tolerant landscaping and better neighborhood access points. For residents who have long viewed the wash as just a drainage ditch, the plan offers a glimpse of a future where we have our own version of a linear park. Public comments are being accepted starting today, giving you a chance to weigh in on how much shade and seating you’d like to see. It’s a long-term play for the city’s infrastructure, but the momentum is clearly building for a more connected, greener urban core.

🏙️ Local Pulse

  • Verdugo Road Lane Striping Finalized Expect some orange cones near the college tomorrow morning as crews finalize the new bike lane striping. Most of the heavy lifting happened overnight, but a few finishing touches remain for the Monday commute.

  • New Bakery Opens on Artsakh The Crumb & Whisk officially opened its doors yesterday. The line was out the door for their honey-lavender croissants, so if you’re planning a Sunday treat, get there before the noon rush to beat the crowds.

  • Central Library High-Speed Fiber Live The Central Library announced that the new high-speed fiber network is now fully operational. It’s a welcome boost for the remote workers and students who treat the second floor as their unofficial weekend office.

🌦️ Today's Outlook

  • High 66°F · Low 53°F — Drizzle Keep the light jacket close today. That persistent drizzle will make things feel a bit cooler than the mid-60s suggest, especially if you're out for a morning walk.

📸 Spotlight & Story

  • The Doctors House Museum
    • Tucked away in the back of Brand Park, this Queen Anne-style Victorian was built in 1888 and once housed four successive doctors. It was saved from demolition in 1979 and moved to its current spot by dedicated residents. Did you know it’s one of the few remaining examples of this architecture in the region? It serves as a quiet reminder of the city’s transition from citrus groves to a bustling urban center.
