The Harvest Market is Back in Montrose Today

Glendale, CA · May 3, 2026

Happy Sunday — the drizzle might keep things cool this morning, but the Harvest Market is still the place to be for fresh sourdough and early spring blooms. If you’re heading out, the damp air makes the coffee at the local cafes taste just a little bit better.

📰 The Lead

The Verdugo Mountains just got a little more accessible with the official completion of the "Verdugo Green Link" phase one. This project, which has been under construction for the better part of a year, successfully connected the lower Brand Park trails to the higher ridge lines with improved drainage and sustainable switchbacks. For those of us who spend our weekends on the dirt, this means fewer closures after heavy rain and a much safer ascent during the summer heat. City officials and local conservancy groups gathered yesterday for a ribbon-cutting near the old tea house site. While the drizzle today might make the new paths a bit slick, the long-term impact is a more resilient trail system that protects our local watershed while keeping our favorite backyard open for hikers and mountain bikers alike.

🏙️ Local Pulse

  • Arts District Mural Finally Unveiled A new three-story mural celebrating the city's aviation history was completed yesterday on the side of the Maryland Avenue parking structure. The vibrant piece features stylized depictions of the historic Grand Central Air Terminal.

  • School Board Budget Preview Released The local school district released its preliminary budget draft for the upcoming year late yesterday. A public hearing is scheduled for tomorrow evening to discuss proposed facility upgrades and new technology grants for several elementary campuses.

🌦️ Today's Outlook

  • High 67°F · Low 56°F — Drizzle
    • Keep a light jacket handy and maybe an umbrella if you are heading to the market. The damp air will make the morning feel a bit crisper than the thermometer suggests.

📸 Spotlight & Story

  • Forest Lawn Memorial Park
    • While many see it only as a cemetery, this park is home to one of the most impressive collections of religious art in the country. The Great Mausoleum houses the "Last Supper" stained glass window, a breathtaking recreation of Da Vinci's masterpiece. It took Italian artist Rosa Caselli-Moretti six years to complete the work using a secret family process for firing the glass. It remains a quiet, awe-inspiring spot for reflection, regardless of one's personal beliefs.
