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.

Crime Report 11.04.09

There was a little spree of home burglaries on Raymond Hill. I expected to see spike in nefarious deeds on Halloween, but that wasn’t really the case. Unless you count the guy laying on the ground at Huntington and Garfield. And yes, police say he was drunk. Full report after the jump.
