Maintaining Wavestream’s headquarters in San Dimas, Calif., the new 32,000-square foot facility includes a 10,000-square foot manufacturing space as well as a 9,000-square foot RF lab to house more […]
Peace of Mind in the San Gabriels
Tuesday, July 31st, 2007Turns out there is a video of old Bernie McGrath, the gold prospector up in the San Gabriel mountains above Azusa, on Youtube here:
However, the best bit on McGrath is still the audio slide show I mentioned in this post.
Federal $ Coming To The San Gabriel Valley
Tuesday, July 31st, 2007The SGVT published a partial list of local projects to be funded with federal government cheese. Some relevant to Pasadena and Monrovia below:
Duarte News - Seriously!
Tuesday, July 31st, 2007There is rarely any news available about what happens in Duarte, but this page does have tons of cool Duarte photos and videos. (And this website seems like a strange electronic monument to an increasingly inactive gadfly, although I could be wrong.)
There is some Duarte news today, however. Emanuel Parker reports for the […]
Pomona Heritage?
Tuesday, July 31st, 2007John Clifford of Pomona Heritage (check it out) left another interesting comment-that-is-an-angry-email to the city of Pomona beneath our last post on the subject:
Leaky Sierra Madre; CM Decision Wednesday?
Tuesday, July 31st, 2007
For the second time in less than a year a confidential document pertaining to items discussed in closed session meetings that should have been seen by only senior staff and the City Council has made its way out of Sierra Madre City Hall.
…
The letter pertained to an alleged verbal exchange between City Council member Don […]
It Ain’t Easy Bein’ Green
Tuesday, July 31st, 2007
Elise Kleeman reports for the SGVT on “Pasadena [is] weighing costs of going green.”
Hmm, something tells me they should weigh the costs of making North Pasadena a place that people want to live just as badly as the rest of the Crown City. And simply throwing affordable housing units at the problem doesn’t seem to […]
On Crime and Punishment
Tuesday, July 31st, 2007Our imminent battle notwithstanding, WCGB has some thoughts worth reading on the recent explosion of violence in Pasadena.
Meanwhile, the Pasadena Pundit (alternate site has a permalink) argues that people are too quick to cite poverty as a cause of violence, since there are plenty of folks who are poor and don’t resort to violence. Definitely […]
Glendorans: Fight, Fight!
Tuesday, July 31st, 2007The war of words between ”’Local Boy” and “Lawyers-Or-Us” about Glendora city politics has come to a head in the comments here. Decide for yourself whose side you take.
Speaking of which, recalled city councilman John Harrold’s website is back up and running.
Favoritism Afoot in Heritage Review: UPDATED
Monday, July 30th, 2007You mean to tell me there was, *gasp*, favoritism at play in the Heritage debacle? I am shocked, shocked, to hear that could possibly be the case. As anyone who watched Danny Bakewell’s comments during the city council meeting would know, the entire process was fair, objective and completely serene.
Cough, cough.
UPDATE: Let’s not forget that […]
Pasadena Proximate Crime
Monday, July 30th, 2007Proximate, that is, to the police station. Terrifying.

Kelly Cruises On
Monday, July 30th, 2007
The good ship Arcadia is losing the man who has spent “nearly 14 years at the helm of one of the San Gabriel Valley’s wealthiest and most conservative cities,” according to the WDN. Farewell, City Manager Kelly. At least you’re going out on a high note…albeit by your own estimation.
Kelly said many of the projects […]
On the Great Anonydebate
Monday, July 30th, 2007Apropos of the LAT’s local blogging article, KChristieH, a decidedly “nonymous” blogger, took the opposition stance in the great Anonydebate a week ago.
Some bloggers treat the internet as an Invisibility Cloak, and don’t identify themselves to readers. If you’re in Iran, and want to stay hidden to government spies, I can understand this. But it’s […]
Catching Up: I

Sexy Steve Haderlein
