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 09.02.10

I wish the police report was full of things like that “receiving stolen property” thing. And needing to take a restraining order out against a transient? That sounds unfun. Full police report after the jump.
