- We heard about a potential robbery at the Bank of America on Lake Avenue Wednesday evening. A witness reported men on the ground being overseen by a deputy with a shotgun.

- You thought the Hahamongna Watershed was some kind of quiet, natural area, didn't you? Ha! It's apparently the most-trafficked area in greater Pasadena: PSN's Brian Charles has a story about the city awarding a contract for an environmental impact report for the planned sediment dig. To review: LA County wants to clear out the sediment captured behind Devil's Gate Dam -- but because they haven't, it's become a natural area beloved of hikers and nature lovers.
