Walktober is in full swing, and we know you are probably asking yourself "where will I walk to today?"
There are so many destinations throughout the City including parks, shopping malls & restaurants, theaters, historic buildings and more. Plus, with Glendale's Central Library being closed for renovations, this may be the perfect time to explore some of the City's neighborhood libraries.
