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.

South Pas Blogs Goes Dark

This is a bummer. Not that much of a surprise, since the last post was in June, but still … As the datelines of the most recent entries attest, it’s been some time since I’ve posted anything on South Pas Blogs. The demands of life have relegated this website to the back burner for a [...]

Chamber Clears Farmers Market Hurdle

The South Pas Chamber of Commerce posted on their blog today that they’ve “made the first cut in the contest to run the local Farmers’ Market.” I asked Scott Feldmann a few questions about the Chamber’s interest in the market, and he was kind enough to humor me. Q&A after the jump. Tweet

A few of the South Pas-related items floating around in the news: In an obit for Frisbee inventor Walter Frederick Morrison, the San Gabriel Valley Tribune mentions in passing that WHAM-O began in a South Pasadena garage.

Videotheque to Move, Expand

I’m a little late to this news, but Videotheque is going to move across the street and into the space currently occupied by Bellini Baby. Bellini will continue to inhabit the western half of the space. Makes sense on both ends. Bellini was really looking spread out (and the upstairs was looking like a clearance [...]

I’ll be away from my computer for the next couple weeks. South Pas fashion designer Richard Tyler decided the best way for Scientologists to overcome their sinister image is to have them wear black capes and sorting hats. Our firefighters were among those battling the blaze off the 134. Us and them: “I think the [...]

Catching Up 06.24.09

Inside Private Lives extends its run at the Fremont Centre Theatre, which pushes the production past the one-year mark in South Pas. Pasadena Unified School District might try and follow South Pasadena’s lead and push for a parcel tax. The district is facing a $14 million deficit. The question is whether a city as large [...]
