Happy 'Noon' Year's Eve Monrovia
Apparently there will be no official New Year's Eve party along Myrtle this year - at least I can find no mention of it on the city website or the Old Town website.
There will, however, be a "Noon Years Eve" celebration with activities for families in Library Park, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
For adults, I find that The Pour House (405 S Myrtle) will hold a New Year's Eve party beginning at 6 p.m. Tickets required. Details here. Are there others?

Extra Monrovia Cops to Check for Impaired Drivers Through New Year’s Day
From Dec. 13 through New Year's Day, Monrovia Police Department will have additional officers on patrol looking for drivers suspected of being under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. The high-visibility enforcement effort is part of a national campaign, Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over, with the goal of stopping suspected impaired drivers who put others on the road at risk.
"Impaired driving isn't just dangerous, it's illegal," Lt. Chad Harvey said. "Let's make this a joyful and safe holiday season for everyone on the road. This enforcement period allows us to get the message out that it is essential to act responsibly and plan a sober ride home."
Monrovia Police Department encourages everyone to stay in for the night or have a "go safely" game plan by scheduling a ride or designating a sober driver if you plan to consume alcohol.
Impaired driving is not just from alcohol. Marijuana, prescription medications or over-the-counter drugs may also impair. Do your research and understand how certain drugs may affect your driving ability.
Funding for this program is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Dinner at Wendy’s
Dinner at Wendy’s, in the Vons shopping center at Myrtle and Foothill. I wanted something kind of light after the Christmas feasting, so I got the taco salad for $7.99 and a drink for $2.59. Nice.

Sebastian Would Like in on All Your Adventures
If you’re looking for a fun companion to ring in the New Year, look no further than Sebastian! This handsome guy is sure to turn heads as you walk him down the street!
Sebastian is three years old and has a lot of playful energy. He loves playing in the yard, but is happiest out on the go. He’s been on a number of walks with Pasadena Humane volunteers and they rave about him. He knows several commands and is keen to learn more. He has favorite treats that are a good motivator for him!
Sebastian will thrive in an active home. He doesn’t mind being the center of attention as long as he is included in all the adventures! He would love hiking or camping, and he would probably also enjoy a training class to show off his skills.
Bring this stunner home with you today!
