Teen Center Opens Monday

The long-awaited Glendale Teen Support Center will open Monday, offering high school students a safe place to get together after school.

The center, in a 3,100-square-foot brick building at 115 E. Lexington Drive, includes a recreation room with a Ping-Pong table, a pool table, a television room, a study room, a soda fountain, a jukebox and a raised stage for aspiring stand-up comics.

“It will be a safe, social, drug- and alcohol-free environment for high school teens in Glendale,” said Susan Basler, administrative director for the nonprofit center.

At first, the center will be open from 3 to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Eventually, the center will also open Friday and Saturday, Basler said. Information: (818) 547-5725.
