Re “He Resembles a Movie Star with Matching Articulation”

 Informally at least, Vice Mayor Thomas Small is a splendid advance man for City Council candidate Alex Fisch.

“We are in a very special period in the history of Culver City,” said Mr. Small. “It is becoming even more intense with all the change that is happening around us.”

Only a year and a half removed from his own successful maiden campaign for the City Council, Mr. Small’s vocal excitement was growing even faster than the changes he was referencing.

“We are in a kind of economic boom,” the vice mayor said. “We need a Council that can help us manage that with experience and expertise in those areas.

“If we want to keep the great qualities of our city, we have to know how to manage the growth. Alex can do that better than anybody.”

When Mr. Small was a candidate, he ran on a similar platform. He said his visionary-planning-architectural skills were precisely the right prescription for the forthcoming dramatic structural changes across Culver City.

He smiled broadly. “Those changes are accelerating,” he said with vigor. “We just broke ground on Parcel B. It was just announced recently that Amazon film and television is coming to Culver City, to Culver Studios. There is a large project on the south side of town at Fox Plaza. We have to  get it right.”

After noting that Fox Hills residents are “justifiably reticent,” Mr. Small said the Council’s central charge is “to figure out how this project is going to help the city.”

All of that is what awaits Mr. Fisch if he is elected to one of the two open Council seats in April.
