Pumpkin and Pumpkin Pecan Cheesecake now available at The Cheesecake Factory!

Written by Girard on October 2, 2009 - 0 Comments

Ok, is it wrong to be excited about something like this? Well, every year come Fall and the holidays, The Cheesecake Factory adds the very delicious Pumpkin and Pumpkin Pecan (my personal favorite) cheesecakes to their fine offerings. I at there on Wednesday September 30th and our very festive and jovial waiter told us they weren’t available just yet but would be soon. I figured it was something that would happen prompty on October 1st. Well, I made the time today to call over and yep – they are now available.

Obviously I called the Woodland Hills Cheesecake Factory located in Warner Center on Canoga Ave between Victory Blvd and Erwin. These two flavors are only seasonal, but you have through the holidays to enjoy them. I believe nearer to Christmas they have a peppermint variety also. I’ll head over there in the next few days and hopefully get a salice and maybe even take a picture of it for the Blog. Ah, the tough love of a community Blogger, eh?

Family, LAPD try to drum up fresh leads in the cold case of missing Woodland Hills resident Robert Spellman

Written by Girard on October 2, 2009 - 0 Comments
Categories: In The News

I’m actually familiar with this case, having previously stumbled upon the above YouTube video and also one of the several websites detailing his 2005 disappearance. It looks like his 32nd birthday was yesterday, and his family, and to a lesser extent and I’m sure begrudgingly the LAPD, is putting out some feelers to revive interest and leads in the case.  The case has always interested me in that it has the undertones of being a San Fernando Valley “city confidential.”

I invite my readers to look through the Daily News article.  Interesting, this is the first time I’ve seen an article which elaborates on the circumstances surrounding his disappearance, and the possibility of foul play of his co-workers and/or business associates.

Spellman’s family said they became concerned when he failed to show up as planned for dinner April 13, 2005. His mother went to his rented home in Woodland Hills, where she said she ran into one of her son’s co-workers, who said he might have taken an impromptu trip to Las Vegas.

“The circumstance of how his family found out that he was missing led us to believe that he wasn’t just a walkaway – that he had met some foul play,” Knolls said.

He said he believes Spellman, who worked for a luxury-car company in Downey, may have been killed in a business deal that soured.

He said that authorities have two suspects but lack sufficient evidence to pursue a prosecution. He speculated that a killer may have received help from one or more unwitting third parties.

I think everyone reading this knows the cold reality that someone out there knows exactly what happened to Robert Spellman.  Anyone with information should contact Detective Carmine Sasso at the LAPD at 213-485-5381 and e-mail findrobertspellman@yahoo.com.
