Monrovia PIO issues correction RE # Vacant Foreclosures
Friday, May 16th, 2008Contrary to the numbers quoted at the May 5 Community Council meeting and later published in their minutes, things are not quite as dire as first thought. The correction:
“Sweetheart” saga continues: MCN alleges 162K gift to CM
Wednesday, May 14th, 2008I got a note from Cyrus Kemp letting me know he is continuing to dig into the loan given to the CM for housing assistance (the need debunked here) and attached the city council minutes from 5/18/2004 to support his concerns.
Specifically he has maintained that what the city stated in open council meeting that the […]

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008The Proc sits down with Monrovia’s famous/infamous blogger, Robert CJ Parry in the Aaron Proctor Interview Series:
The Proc: Ever been to the First Cabin in Arcadia?

No, I’m not advocating the destruction of the old Ambassador College Campus, just making a point.
Monrovia Politics becomes a ‘net game
Tuesday, May 13th, 2008Just when I thought politics in Monrovia hit a peak, yet another dart is tossed. This time around it is an Internet game called “Kick the Chief Roger” that showed up in my morning email.
Personally I don’t think MPD Chief Johnson is the correct person to be kicking in terms of the city MPOA dispute. […]
Monrovia asks residents to watch for “squatters”.
Monday, May 12th, 2008Squatters, a scourge of neighborhoods and property owners has raised its ugly head here in Monrovia. The city has asked that residents notify Code Enforcement, 626-932-5535 or MPD 626-256-8000 if you are aware of any squatters.
Monrovians have been given notice of the problem in the Monrovia Today newsletter from the city received over the weekend. The […]
Band Needs A Hand!
Sunday, May 11th, 2008 Among the many side debates in the current Monrovia… ahem…. disruption of tranquility…. is the matter of just what makes a community. To wit, what role does the community as a whole have in things like preventing crime and disrupting the cycle of gang violence?
To be sure, libraries, sports and the arts all […]
Lonesome Blogger
Saturday, May 10th, 2008That’s me. That’s my cup o’ joe . That’s Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf on Myrtle at 9:00 sharp this morning. That’s my binder of evidence proving Hay/BadBoy is associated with Adams & Barnes Escrow, if not the man himself.
The Art City: Monrovia (well one step closer to the dream)
Saturday, May 10th, 2008For those of you who missed it, Monrovia is home to several galleries featuring world renown artists (Michael Godard) as well as talented individuals who live the the city. Those artists are also very active in the community on many levels including in the Monrovia Association of Fine Arts (formerly Monrovia Art Festival Association) that […]

Damn. I step away from the blog for a few days to tend to personal matters and WOW. Y’all go bats*** insane.
First up, I deliver on what I promised: an overview of the wildfires we just had, along with my own personal story to go with it. […]
Friday Linkfest: 10 Reasons to Remember
Friday, May 9th, 2008There’s a million things I’d love to write about. Sadly, the sun goes down (and comes up) much too quickly. So, here’s 9 (count ‘em, 9!) links you really should take a look at…
Give. Me. A. Break.
Thursday, May 8th, 2008To all the peeps out there complaining about the IP address issue, let me make something very, very clear. An IP address is like caller ID. If you don’t like the fact that when you leave a comment from certain networks, you leave a trace (unless, like most of us, you comment from […]
Market Dynamics and Police Resources: A Lesson for Monrovia
Thursday, May 8th, 2008At Tuesday night’s City Council meeting, a well known, tremendously active member of the community asserted, basically, if Monrovia’s police officers don’t like their pay, they can just go somewhere else. “I’m sure we’ll have no trouble finding qualified police officers.”
If only that were true. Fact is, every police department in Southern California is hurting […]
On Anonymous Comments, IP Addresses & More
Thursday, May 8th, 2008So, in light of Robert Parry’s convincing argument that someone in Tom Adams office is besmirching the name of the Monrovia police, I think now would be a good time to give all our readers a primer on what all this IP address hooey means and whether or not it should bother you in the […]
