Project History
Originally, Lockheed Aircraft Company started business here in 1928. There was also a glass factory (Mission Glass) with whom Lockheed shared a building until Lockheed took over that portion as well. Before WWII, this plant produced most of Lockheed's Orion’s, Vegas, and Hudson’s. An oil and gravel airstrip constructed on the southern end of the property during this pre-war period

was in use until 1941 when the P-38 went into production. During WWII, this strip was used as a parking lot and apparently never used again for its original purpose. The plant was closed in 1991, and by 1994, razed and developed into Burbank Empire Center. Less than eight months after breaking ground, the Burbank Empire Center's first stores opened in October 2001. The outdoor mall's buildings hark back to Lockheed's glory days by resembling manufacturing plants. Each of the outdoor signs features a replica of a Lockheed aircraft, while the mall design brings to mind an airport, complete with a miniature control tower. The theme is carried throughout the center with bollards that resemble rivets, graphics of tools incorporated in the ceramic tile art benches and signs in the food court area. Peter Shire’s “Tiki Towers” are three colorful and whimsical towers exhibiting flight themes and period icons: they are integrated into the hardscape in the food court area. Tile accents in the tile benches and graphics reflect workers in the aerospace industry. His “Empire Plane”, metal cutout planese art tops the pylons signs. Burbank Empire Center is home to:

BURBANK EMPIRE CENTER WILL TAKE IDENTICAL ACTIONS TO FOIL POTENTIAL KRISPY KREME TUESDAY FLASH MOB STYLE CAR MEET OCTOBER 6 THAT PREVENTED THE GATHERING IN JUNE

Burbank Empire Center intends to take the identical steps it put in place previously in coordination with the Burbank Police Department to prevent the so-called Krispy Kreme Tuesdays (KKT) car flash mob from gathering at the center tomorrow, October 6, as threatened on its website. These actions led KKT and its affiliated groups to move to another location.

This group has no affiliation with Krispy Kreme which has asked it to cease infringing on its trademark. In the past the group has demonstrated little respect for private property or the rights of others. They have trashed our center and our stores as well as surrounding neighborhoods and have engaged in unruly and illegal behavior.

The Burbank Police Department will again join us to put a stop to these flash mob car clubs invading Burbank, our center and surrounding neighborhoods. BPD will deploy large number of officers and announced last Friday that it will cite motor vehicle violations and illegal behavior. We are grateful for this cooperation.

In honor of National Cheeseburger Day (which, if you don't know, lands on Sept. 18), we got to thinking about how great these dairy-topped patties are. But what it is about them that makes them so great

It’s 8 p.m., and I’m in the zone. I’ve been here for about an hour now. The world and its cares have dropped away. Work stress, money worries, health concerns and arguments with my 9-year-old son have all faded. That nattering voice in my head that usually gets busy nagging, judging and replaying th…

If you suspect a tree may be suffering from a beetle infestation or other issue can call the forestry services section of the parks department at (818) 238-5304. Someone will inspect the tree within 24 hours. A University of California guide provides more information about the beetle.

The polyphagous shot hole borer, which has been found in trees at Johnny Carson Park, is so ugly. How ugly is it?
