For more information, please go to the Management Overview page By Patrick Comiskey The sound started at night, after dark, interrupting the post-twilight hours in the days after the hurricane, when the whole property, verdant and lush, had been revived by the rains. Travis Lent (Court 5) and his wife Jess were the first to hear it: a weird chirping sound, rhythmic and regular, high pitched, and very, very annoying.
Lent is no stranger to rhythmic sounds—he plays percussion for a two-person band called Mirthquake—but this, like a cross between a birdsong and a smoke alarm, was just irritating. “It sounded electronic, with perfect intervals,” he said, “like a smoke alarm with a dying battery,” adding: “That’s a sound I really hate.” However if it was a smoke alarm, it was acting strangely: the device would chirp for just fifteen minutes and then go silent. After two irritating nights he contacted Security, thinking they’d be able to help him track down which of his neighbors was too lazy to change a nine-volt battery. Photos by Zig.

By Nat Hutton, photo by Lucy Fried Our neighbor Georgia Lumpkin died peacefully this past week, aged 101, just two years after her husband Ted passed away. Georgia and Ted moved to the Village Green in 2001; after Ted passed, Georgia was the Village Green’s oldest resident. We will miss her tremendously. If you did not know this lady, you missed an experience that you will never capture with any other human being in life. If you ever visited Georgia on her wonderful patio garden, she would give you a lesson on plants, their life and how to care for all the wonderful things she grew. She often extended that knowledge to area schools and students; very few people could match her knowledge of plants and trees—those trees, and all the greenery on the property, were part of the reason she loved living here at the Village Green. So long Georgia, you can never be replaced! By P.J.C. Francine Riley was born in Tennessee, where her father was stationed in the service, but moved to San Diego as a little girl with her parents. She lived in the Linda Vista neighborhood, not far from Old Town and Mission Bay, and close to the downtown airport that sends flights over large swaths of the city… one of her fondest childhood memories is eating ice cream cones and sitting near the edge of the runway while the huge planes roared overhead, rumbling to touch down to the landing strip.
Francine is part Choctaw and it’s something you can see in the features of her face, which is strong and powerful with high cheekbones, her expressions full of bright energy.

By Kathy O’Brien, Court 7 By Marie Germaine, Court 12 Baldwin Hills Elementary School (BHES) is proud to be in its 80th year of successful public service to the Baldwin Village community. Since 2016, the school has been obliged to share space as a Proposition 39 co-location (shared campus) with a charter school. In response, Village Green families and supportive neighbors formed Neighbors in Action for Baldwin Hills Elementary School and joined BHES teachers, parents, and other neighbors in advocating for BHES to become a charter-free campus. Supporters wrote letters, signed petitions, spoke at LAUSD board meetings, and met with LAUSD officials and local and state representatives. Edited by Jordan Deglise Moore
