NOTE:
Before Social Media There Was ERBzine Eclectica that we debuted in January 2000.
Our ERB Motes & Quotes Eclectica was a weekly showcase for all.
This was one of many Webpages that were featured in ERBzine Weekly Webzine 
-- an online fanzine that we have published every week since 1996.
the latest ERB news, releases, readers letters, and a boundless collection of items 
of interest to Burroughs and SF/Adventure Fans. 
Images were smaller then as the Internet and computer systems were slower 
-- also server storage was much more expensive. 
Sadly, some of the off-site non-ERBzine links we've shared are no longer active 
- that, we have no control over but they are left here as a curiosity or reference.

Looking for a Name 
Worthy of Burroughs
LA Times, Valley Edition
Thursday, September 21, 2000
By RICHARD FAUSSET
Hillmans Invade Downtown Tarzana
Despite being named for Edgar Rice Burroughs' vine-swinging fictional jungle man, Tarzana hasn't historically been known as the most jungle-like of neighborhoods.  That's been changing recently, however, with the ongoing face-lift of the community's downtown shopping district--a project with a decided jungle theme. Included in the plans are small sylvan parks, as well as metal silhouettes of monkeys and other creatures that will hang from the street lights.

Now the Tarzana Business Improvement District is inviting creative Tarzan fans to give the district a name that reflects the contribution of novelist Burroughs, who moved to the area from Chicago in 1919 and named his 540-acre estate Tarzana Ranch, after his famous ape-man.  "We're looking for something that's creative, catchy and is in good taste," said Marianne Giblin of the Tarzana Improvement Assn., the nonprofit organization that manages the business district. "They've got a lot of upscale communities around here, so they don't want to make it sound like a theme park. They want to make it sound like a downtown that capitalizes on its unique history."

Entries are open to all--multiple entries are encouraged--and must be received by Oct. 15. They may be mailed to:
TIA, 18653 Ventura Blvd., PMB 323, Tarzana 91356, or faxed to (818) 776-0134
The winner, to be announced by Nov. 1, will receive a $200 gift certificate good at any participating retailer downtown and an engraved brick on one of the new walkways.

Note: The name eventually chosen was Tarzana Safari Walk.
See our the walk taken by the ERB, Inc. staff and Bill and Sue-On

and Where Wookies Come From

"I didn't want to remake a 2001, I wanted to make a space fantasy that was more in the genre of Edgar Rice Burroughs; that whole other end of space fantasy that was there before science took it over in the Fifties. Once the atomic bomb came, everybody got into monsters and science and what would happen with this and what would happen with that. I think speculative fiction is very valid but they forgot the fairy tales and the dragons and Tolkien and all the real heroes."
