Speaking of Huff and Mountjoy

Friday, May 9th, 2008

The San Francisco Chronicle includes the contest among those that we can blame on term limits:
Term limits have turned some former political allies into campaign foes as voters prepare to select nominees for 100 seats in the California Legislature.
In a half dozen races on the June 3 primary ballot, former lawmakers are trying to revive […]

Allen Wilson Loves Bob Huff (And That’s Totally Cool With Me)

Friday, May 9th, 2008

I’m curious: does Allen Wilson really dig Assemblyman Bob Huff (who is running for Margett’s State Senate seat) or what? We’ve already seen that he’s a fan:
Assemblyman Bob Huff (R-Diamond Bar), candidate for State Senate, held a Grand Opening of a new campaign headquarters in the heart of beautiful downtown San Dimas on Bonita Avenue.
In […]

Huff’s Campaign HQ Is in San Dimas

Monday, May 5th, 2008

San Dimas doesn’t get enough attention, but hey, Bob Huff hasn’t forgotten the city. See if you can guess who Allen Wilson, a contributor at Red County LA, will be voting for in the race for the 29th SD.

The city’s Draft Housing plan, as mandated by the Kingdom of Sacramento.
Brian Day’s report in the SGVT:
About 200 people attended an open house at Lone Hill Middle School this week to view $5 million in recently completed improvements, school officials said.

Quercetin Rules

Thursday, January 10th, 2008

I don’t know what it means either, but who knew that Longevinex: The Molecule Mankind Has Been Waiting For can be found in good ole’ San Dimas. Apparently, Longevinex gives one “the health properties of red wine, without the alcohol.” Pfft. Yeah, and I want a Pastrami burger from The Hat, without […]

Straight outta San Dimas

Tuesday, December 11th, 2007

Teri Sforza’s OC Register profile of troubled Orange County Sheriff Mike Carona contains this line:
Carona grew up in the streets and at neighbors’ homes in San Dimas and Glendora. He learned to fight and talk his way out of trouble.
Hah. I don’t know what you think, but the words “San Dimas” and “Glendora” don’t […]

Poaching in the Forest of the King

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

This photograph (by Michael S. Quinton and published by National Geographic) doesn’t really look much like the coyotes I’ve had visits from in the San Gabriel Valley of California. That said, I would like to introduce an organization that came in and assisted when one of our local coyotes was discovered in a near-by yard. […]

Morning Roundup & Blog News

Monday, November 26th, 2007

We’re going to be changing things up around here at the FC Blog. Changes will probably be coming over the course of the next two weeks, if historical precedent of snail-like change is any guide, but rest assured, change is on its way. Among said changes will be the introduction of the Morning Roundup. Rather […]

Planet Glendora Developments Rise Again

Tuesday, November 6th, 2007

The battle between Glendora, San Dimas and developer NJD Ltd. dates back to the dawn of time…at least measured since the inception of this blog. But now to cities are joining forces to slay the Texas developers once and for all:
The neighboring cities of Glendora and San Dimas have banded together to defeat a developer’s […]

It’s 8am: Do You Know Where Your Legislators Are?

Monday, November 5th, 2007

No, not at the moment, but we do have an idea of where FC legislators have been recently:

Bob Margett (29th, State Senate) has been fighting crime in the sandbox (at least, I assume, that’s what a “sandbox investment” is).
Anthony Portantino (44th, State Assembly) has been enjoying the freshman of the year award.
Jack Scott (21st, State […]

Hiding from most of us in the hills between Pomona and San Dimas is an unusual thing for Southern California: a big freshwater lake.

Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, and Clint Eastwood Rule in San Dimas

Friday, October 19th, 2007

I don’t know what Mark Petix and Andrea Bennett writing in the SGVT thought, but the thought of Clint Eastwood, Angelina Jolie, and Brad Pitt setting foot in San Dimas sort of bothers me for some reason.
Why?
It’s hard to explain, exactly, but I feel as if someone up and poured an obnoxious, expensive, perfumey-tasting liqueur […]

Avast There, San Dimas!

Yarrr!

Brilliant Thieves

Thursday, October 4th, 2007

I wish the bugger who stole my computer recently was this foolish.
