Burbank is More Than a Studio City

By Linda Tancs

NBC’s impending sale of its West Coast studios in what Johnny Carson dubbed “beautiful downtown Burbank” gives rise to the question:  besides standing in line for hours for Leno tickets, what else is there to see or do in Burbank?  Turns out, plenty.  For starters, Warner Bros. is still around for studio tours.  And you can catch a few flicks (30, to be exact) at the theatre complex.  Is live theatre your thing?  Then check out the Colony or the Falcon.  Burbank also bills its Starlight Bowl as a premiere outdoor entertainment venue, nestled amidst the Verdugo Mountains.  You can also shop till you drop, golf, bowl or ice skate.  Wondering what life was like in the 19th century?  Then visit the Historical Society’s museum and smarten up.  All this and a local airport, too.  What are you waiting for?
