The ambiguously titled blog Friends for Fullerton’s Future reports that Fullerton School District Superintendent Mitch Hovey played this video at a recent school board meeting. The blog suggests it might have been used to float the idea of a parcel tax. One gem from the post: “Enjoy the manipulation of children by the same mindless [...]

There’s nothing much wrong with arresting people who drift through town selling phony magazine subscriptions and stuff, but arresting a kid for selling fruit on the corner? That sounds a little mean. Especially when the kid is about 2 feet away from Alhambra city limits. There’s also a report of an assault at SPHS that [...]

I’ve been wondering why, out of nowhere, people are flocking to an innocuous post from December 2008 about a stealth bomber flying over Pasadena. My best guess is it’s because they’re looking for this photo, which just won some kind of award. Let me know if you have a better hunch. Press release after the jump. [...]

Maybe you already knew that but, well, I didn’t. The L.A. Times says, “Today, Stargate (Studios) generates $15 [...]

Yeah, I’m a geek. I found this stereoscopic image of an ostrich farm in Cairo, Egypt, at yesterday’s Rose Bowl Flea Market. No relationship to the Cawston Ostrich Farm. As Rick Thomas notes in “South Pasadena’s Ostrich Farm” (which is part of Arcadia Publishing’s awesome “Images of America” series), Edwin Cawston actually figured out the [...]

Happy Valentine’s Day and all that. I guess my favorite would be the guy who stole a spatula from Bristol Farms, and then sped away in his BMW. Full report after the jump. Tweet

*Aug. 19, 2020 update: The headline to this post always bugged me, so I finally went ahead and changed it today. It says what I tried to say with the previous head, but it’s less open to (mis)interpretation. *Update: I wouldn’t normally add the asterisk for a comment, but it’s only fair to draw attention [...]
