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.

Athens Services roundup

This will kick off a few posts that pull together some stories based on themes I’ve been negligent in covering. Today’s topic: Athens Services. It might sound like a boring topic, but it’s really good stuff. Let’s talk some trash after the jump. Tweet

Crime Report 09.09.09

Not that there’s no crime to report, it’s just difficult to compete with last week’s lollapalooza of nefarious deeds. If you’ve noticed, it’s rather rare for a South Pas resident to be the alleged perp. This week, both assault suspects are from our hood. Full report after the jump. Tweet
