Five Months After the Eaton Fire, Altadena Restaurants Are Finally Reopening | Eater LA
"A pizzeria on Allen Street that was among the first Altadena restaurants to reopen after the fire on February 6 and remains busy filling lunch orders for recovery workers. Co-owner Zak Fishman warns about the community's fading attention: "It feels like we’re approaching the stage when people forget. It’s natural, it’s not good or bad, but humans cannot live in that heightened emotional space forever." He also urges political and financial advocacy for small businesses and stresses the stakes: "Smaller businesses cannot weather this downsize," and "People need to understand what a dire situation this is for Altadena." - Sharon Brenner
