Short takes

• Bananas: The Seattle Times reprints an LA Times feature about Fred Garbutt, the man who bought Ken Bannister's former Altadena landmark, The Banana Museum.  Now that he's the banana man, Garbutt says, "They just consume me."
• Cobb Estate: Forest Service District Ranger Mike J. McIntyre says that about ten people showed up to the Cobb Estate on June 5 to review the GPS map of trails within the Estate. Writes McIntyre:  "General agreement that the map reflected all that is out there."
  Also: "The gate is receiving damage that is affecting it's ability to open and close. If anyone has any ideas who is damaging the gate, please let us know."
• SGV Tribune/PSN looks at the Business Technology Center, which is losing tenants -- which is a good and bad thing, as the business incubator nurtures young startups into growth and eventually they move out, just like most children (we hope!).
