📰 News we're reading
1. 42 apartments slated for 2817 Montrose Ave. in Glendale (urbanize.city) — A 42-unit apartment building, including five very low-income units, is proposed to replace a former church at 2817 Montrose Avenue and is headed to Glendale’s Design Review Board with a staff recommendation for approval. Plans show a four-story, stucco-clad building with parking, courtyards, and rooftop amenity decks, made possible through state density bonus incentives. 
2. 4 apprehended in string of Southern California chain-snatch robberies (meigsindypress.com) — Glendale police joined forces with Monterey Park, Pasadena, and Arcadia officers to track down suspects in at least nine chain-snatch robberies across Southern California. Four people, including one juvenile, were apprehended after coordinated search warrants, though investigators have not yet released details on specific crime locations, charges, or recovered property.
3. [August 6, 2026] National Geographic: Are We on the Brink of Ending Aging? - Inside the wild quest to turn growing old into a thing of the past. (resetera.com) — A cutting-edge anti-aging gene therapy called ER-100 has entered its first human trial with an injection given in Glendale, marking a small but notable local role in a global longevity race. Researchers hope the glaucoma-focused study will prove the treatment is safe and might one day help reverse cellular aging more broadly, potentially extending healthy lifespans.
4. ‘Genocidal Freak': Congressional Candidate Confronts Former Israeli Soldier Yoseph Haddad (palestinechronicle.com subscription) — Glendale voters are in California’s 30th Congressional District, where candidate Dennis Feitosa—also known as Def Noodles—recently drew attention for a heated, partly physical clash with Israeli advocate Yoseph Haddad during a podcast debate over Gaza. The piece details their confrontation, outlines Haddad’s pro-Israel activism, and briefly profiles Feitosa’s Republican campaign focused on local Los Angeles–area issues.
