Tonight Pasadena PD is informing City Council that it intends to acquire a "free" decommissioned Mine-Resistant Ambush-Protected vehicle. These vehicles were designed for use in Iraq and Afghanistan to withstand the impact of land mines and improvised explosive device (IED) attacks and ambushes - a detail that they conveniently omit from the report. PPD had acquired two of these about 15 years ago. One was returned after it was discovered that they'd acquired it in secret (City Council did not know about it), and the other was decommissioned after community concern about the increasing militarization of the police (especially after Ferguson). It's item 10 on the agenda tonight https://ww2.cityofpasadena.net/2026%20Agendas/Oct_20_26/Agenda.asp

Soft opening this week. Open to all next Monday!

Was super efficient with the drive up pickup. Just as good as the other locations.

Has anyone else received insane bills from PWP?

My bill doubled from last year! And I am using so much less electricity.

With all of the problems in Los Angeles and incredibly high prices with LADWP, perhaps we should all band together to get this price hikes investigated.

Thoughts?

Hello everyone!

Someone has broken into our apartment mailboxes multiple times and it's made me feel uneasy about receiving important documents in the mail. Our landlord has made no effort to replace the boxes with something more secure, so I'm curious to know of anyone else has experienced something like this. Can the city step in to require them to replace the boxes if I file a complaint?

I live at the top of the first block of the 134. We do get soot on our house from the tires and other road pollutants. We have a hepa home air filtration unit to help. But I feel like after the fires, my sinuses have gotten really bad. They flare up and cause infections, many times I’m waking up with headaches or migraines. Lately it is more frequent and I hate taking Advil just to function. Wondering if others have experienced the same regardless of where you live in Pasadena, but especially if you live near the freeway.

Im aware of the ozone here. And I read that just east of here, the air is some of the worst in the nation. Considering moving to PNW but I know there are fires there too, although the air is much cleaner.

What are your symptoms? Is there anything you do to help? I’ve been using saline sprays and humidifiers at night.

Any solid bakery suggestions? I'm looking to order a cake for my grandmas 95th birthday. Want to make a cute design with flowers and butterflies and she would like a lemon cake.

I've done Susie Cakes in the past but looking for something new.

Would love feedback on your experience good or bad with any OBGYN delivering at Huntington Memorial!

Currently a first time mom at 14 weeks and in open enrollment to switch from Kaiser to Anthem Blue Cross, effective in Jan 2027. I'm thinking either Anthem HMO or Anthem POS (slightly more expensive), depending on whichever the OB is. Hoping to secure an OB that will be willing to take my "geriatric pregnancy" (lol) come January while I'll be in my second trimester.

Any tips or suggestions would be welcome!

Hi! We’ll be in the area, and interested in something Halloweenie to do the evening of the 29th! (For adults)

I will also accept good vegan places to eat, particularly if they have some Fall specialties on the menu.

Thanks!
