Online Newspaper Coming to Monrovia
A new online newspaper is coming to Monrovia called Patch.com. Patch.com is actually a national chain of publications owned - I believe - by AOL that is opening websites for smaller communities across the nation. The City Manager Scott Ochoa reports that the Monrovia Patch will go live this October.

Hulking Greeter
I see the Hulk acting as a greeter every once in a while at the northeast corner of Alta Vista and Colorado. I wouldn't want to try to crash this party.

A nice feature story about Rodney Jefferson, who runs the "A" Game Fundamentals Basketball Clinic in Monrovia. Not just basketball, but discipline, character and life skills."

Alleged Assault During Fire in Monrovia Canyon
The latest Neighborhood Watch Report from the Monrovia Police Department adds this interesting little aside to the fire in Monrovia Canyon Park:
"August 23 at 1:15 p.m., during the brush fire incident, a resident who lives on Ridgeside insisted on making his way home and attempted to drive by fire and police personnel. The resident refused to stop at the direction of fire personnel and hit a fireman and an Edison worker with his vehicle. The resident was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon and was taken into custody. "- Brad Haugaard
Beautiful Photograph of Myrtle Avenue
I thought for a second that this was an old black-and-white photo of Monrovia from the turn of the last century, or something, but a closer looks shows it is apparently a fairly recent black-and-white. Sometimes (ask Ansel Adams) black and white is just the thing. Here's the page the picture is on ...

Monrovia High Auditorium
I had the opportunity to peek into the beautiful new Monrovia High School auditorium today. A few short weeks ago, I toured the facility during the construction phase and saw the auditorium stripped of its seats and looking like a ghost of its former self. Now, with the newly upholstered seats and a fresh, new, updated look, the auditorium is a work of art. It is lovely, and promises to be a wonderful performing arts center for our students. It will be some time yet before the auditorium is open to the public, but I am confident that you will like what you see when we are able to open this great refurbished facility.
Thanks to the community for making the many construction and renovation projects possible at Monrovia High School. The support of our Monrovia friends and neighbors shows throughout our schools and is greatly appreciated!
