About the Name

At one time, the Cawston Ostrich Farm was the most popular tourist destination in South Pasadena. The ostriches are long gone, but you can still see an old ostrich feeder on the north wall of Meridian Iron Works. Go check it out the next time you're at the Farmer's Market or hopping on the Gold Line. Get a hold of me here.

Measure S: It’s a Done Deal

All the walk-in votes have been added to the tally, and Measure S still squeaked by. Here’s how it all shook out:

Yes: 67.6% (4,158 votes)    No: 32.4% (1,993 votes)

Here’s what it means in a nutshell: If you’re a homeowner in South Pas, you’ll now pay an annual $288 parcel tax for the next four years. If you own any multi-family housing, that tax will be $95 for each unit. In exchange for that hard-earned cash, the school district hopes to avoid teacher layoffs and keep class sizes small.
