SOMETIMES OUR FRIENDS across the tracks in Glendale get a bad rap. And sometimes they (or streets named after them) get mentioned in rap. Or rock. Or R&B. You be the judge:
Beastie Boys - Do It Glendale Boulevard Boulevard Glendale Boulevard is where I'm at It's where I'm at, Where I live Check it out because my head is like a siv
Beck - Debra I pick you up late at night after work I said "lady, step inside my Hyundai" I'm gonna take you up to Glendale Gonna take you for a real good meal
Bright Eyes - Cleanse Song On a detox loft through a Glendale park over sidewalk chalk Someone wrote in red, "start over" So I muffled my scream on an Oxnard beach Full of fever dreams that scare you sober
I found only three solid examples. Surely others have immortalized the suburb that brings us both Porto's Bakery and Brand Bookshop.
Are there any blogs similar to yours that cover Glendale? I just moved to SE G-Dale (after turning down more expensive places in Atwater and Eagle Rock- the downside of rent control). I can't find anything that is both savory and local.

I lived in La Crescenta, just outside of Glendale for several years.
I LOVE the Alex Theatre!
And of course, Beck:
"I'm gonna take you up to Glendale
Gonna take you for a real good meal."
He mentions Zankou Chicken, too!
Great blog--thanks for the fire coverage.
