Sorry to hear about Michael Slater. He was young. How did he die? Anyone know?
A BIG thanks to all the folks at Silver Lake Neighborhood Council for granting Friends of Micheltorena School $10,000 for the community garden!! And thanks for the feedback and advice from board members on construction, volunteers and expand community involvement. Please know that this is not just a school garden, it is a community and SLNC garden as well
This 84 year old victim of a possible homicide lived in my neighborhood. Our thoughts are with his family and friends and hope that the mystery surrounding his death does not turn out to be nefarious.
On a different note, in its story on the death, ABC 7 called the area on Collis Monterey Hills, not El Sereno. We call it Monterey Hills too, since that’s what our property’s parcel documents say. Why does the Eastsider refer to it as El Sereno?
@ mkinla. Tract and parcel maps may identify “Monterey Hills” as a subdivision and tract but not necessarily the neighborhood.
Michael Slater passed on after a 5-6 year battle with cancer.
