« Previous EntriesAnother Claremont candidate on YouTube
Wednesday, February 28th, 2007An interview [essentially a 5 minute + campaign ad] with Claremont city council candidate Sam Pedroza has appeared on YouTube:
The anonymous Claremont Insider promises another YouTube video against Pedroza.
Foothill Pages
Wednesday, February 28th, 2007Azusa, Duarte, Glendora, Monrovia, are [were?] all covered by Foothill Pages, yet another attempt at a local website.
Foothill Cities Balance
Wednesday, February 28th, 2007I’ve been meaning to correct this one for a while now. Regarding the entire Congressman Miller scandal and the city of Monrovia, in an old post I picked up on an La-La Times article claiming that Mayor Hammond asked for a nice, national political appointment from the Congressman. I’ve never seen anything wrong […]
Glendora Candidates Gone Wild
Wednesday, February 28th, 2007“Hey, Glendora!” [A line from a very strange old song, used in a grainy anti-establishment video about Glendora here.]
So the SGVN group gives their opinion on the upcoming Glendora election (as usual, for the incumbents—not that there is anything necessarily wrong with that, as things generally run pretty smooth around these parts.) The PStar […]
Sierra Madre and the Internets
Tuesday, February 27th, 2007Ok, two more Sierra Madre blogs: The Sierra Madre Cactus, as opposed to the increasingly dirty Cumquat, and Measure V - Sierra Madre. Lots of people in Sierra Madre who aren’t afraid to use their computers, getting personal and arguing local politics.
Rules San Dimas?
Tuesday, February 27th, 2007Ambrosia Sarabia of the DB gives us a look at the San Dimas city council race. Do some of the candidates have an “agenda of anger”? You decide.
Glendor-a-ma! Vandals! Police! Politics! [Updated]
Tuesday, February 27th, 2007Now for the good stuff from the SGV Trib:
Two women were arrested late Monday for vandalizing campaign signs, police said.
Lt. Gino Domico said Keleigh Marshall, 18, and Christina Giammalva, 18, both of Glendora, were booked for vandalism and later released.
The women were seen at about 10 p.m. in the 300 Block of North Valley Center […]
Changes to the SGV Newspaper Group?
Tuesday, February 27th, 2007Kevin Smith in the PStar:
“Larry Kline, a veteran executive of newspapers from California to Florida and states in between, has been named publisher of the San Gabriel Valley Newspaper Group.”
Claremont-Centric Day
Tuesday, February 27th, 2007Amusing to see the suggestions for a family visiting Claremont as to where they should eat.
Whose Pasture?
Tuesday, February 27th, 2007If the city of Claremont wants to get $1 million in state money to help them buy the much ballyhooed Johnson’s Pasture, they need to buy the land for a cool $11.5 million total, rather than the current, $12 million asking price. Plus, by taking the state grant, the city couldn’t buy the land […]
La Verne Uses State $ for Good
Tuesday, February 27th, 2007The first post I put up on La Verne mentioned that “their police department was recently awarded a ‘$10,000 grant … from the state Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control’ that ‘will pay for an upcoming sting of city businesses’ and help ensure no one is selling alcohol to minors.”
Janise Johnson reported recently in […]
Local Food Blogging
Tuesday, February 27th, 2007Miss Donuts & Bagel in downtown La Verne gets reviewed by the Wandering Chopsticks blog. If you like—heck, even if you just want to like—local Asian food or if Angel Hair Pasta with Balsamic Chicken, Bacon, and Diced Tomatoes sounds good to you, check Wandering Chopsticks out. You’ll learn a lot and find […]
New Work-Out?
Tuesday, February 27th, 2007Try a different run this week: the Claremont loop or the La Verne Standard.
"Environmentally Friendly" Sells Anything…Heh
Monday, February 26th, 2007Excerpts from an interesting letter in the DB below, emphasis mine. Thoughts? I believe the difference between the PVPA affair and Johnson’s Pasture is that the city would have to rezone the PVPA land in order for development to occur, which puts them in the drivers seat; Johnson’s Pasture was on land that […]
Claremont v. PVPA Saga Continues
Saturday, February 24th, 2007Will Bigham continues to follow the Claremont v. PVPA battle in the DB. For all my poking fun, Claremont is understandably upset. There may be some slight irony in the fact that Councilwoman Baldonado wonders if Claremont can use the Brown Act in order to force the PVPA to open their meetings up […]
