The Twelve Oaks Lodge closure, which is set for Nov. 1, will displace 50 seniors and sparked protest in Glendale on Wednesday, Oct. 2, 2013. Resident Jim Davidson said most of the residents have already left. With just about a dozen still around, the mostly empty dining hall makes him feel disconnected, he said, from friends he’s made during the past two years.
