- Lloyd Wright: Another historic Altadena house has gone on the market: The Lloyd Wright-designed Dorland Home on Morada Place, which looks like a ship's prow. Pasadena Views has pictures.
- Jerry Brown: We have to give some props to the blog bikinginla, run by our compadre of some 40 years, Ted Rogers. He coined the phrase "Jerry Browned" for when a passing vehicle gets too close to your bike (Brown has repeatedly vetoed bills asking for a three foot distance between vehicle and bicycle). Now, the LA Times has anointed the phrase, and included a helmet cam video of Rogers being jerrybrowned by a Hollywood tour bus -- apparently without realizing phrase and video came from the same souce. (Video has NSFW language during the jerrybrowing ....) Expect a lot of this when the bike lanes on Woodbury Road are completed.
- Go Bruins: From the Pasadena Unified School District: UCLA's "I'm Going to College" program hosted over 125 Jackson Elementary School students at the Oct. 13 Rose Bowl game.
