After a Dark Year, Beverly Hills Welcomes Back Holiday Lights

"We are thrilled to welcome visitors and residents back to our holiday celebration that we missed last year due to the pandemic," said Beverly Hills Mayor Robert Wunderlich in a statement.

Thousands of trick-or-treaters took to the streets on Halloween, making up for time lost in the pandemic.

The first sign of trouble came when Yonatan Golian, an otherwise healthy 12-year-old boy, fell to his living room floor in an epileptic fit. Two years later, after Yonatan had begun treatment for epilepsy, the unthinkable happened; his younger sister, Revital had her first seizure.

Mayor Robert Wunderlich spoke at a local Cyrus the Great Day celebration in West L.A.

At its Nov. 2 Special Meeting, the Beverly Hills Unified School District (BHUSD) Board of Education interviewed seven applicants who are in the running to fill the board vacancy left by the resignation of Tristen Walker- Shuman.

The evening was hosted by actor and comedian Bob Saget, with entertainment from singer Pia Toscano.

"We met with two other restaurants that are really close to signing deals," Johnson told the Courier.

The City Council previously expressed displeasure with waiving the fees for a for-profit event that uses "Los Angeles" in its branding.

"The City Council could also consider adopting objective standards that do not physically preclude development of two 800 square foot units on lots in the city," Gohlich said.

"There's a unique opportunity now for hotels in Beverly Hills to be benefited largely as a result of that decision," Sunkin told the Rodeo Drive Committee/Special Events City Council Liaison at an October 2020 meeting. "Runners historically like to stay at the finish line."
