The M.C. Gill Corporation presented the Savannah Pioneer Cemetery with a check for $8,000 to support the historic cemetery and help balance Savannah's books for the current year.

Walking through the cemetery yesterday, I saw a headstone, adorned with flowers. Coming closer, I noticed that the day before was the woman's birthday. Someone (probably one of her children or grandchildren) had stopped by to place flowers on her grave for her birthday.

Los Angeles Times story today about a fight club in South San Gabriel. Apparently, the losers were banished to McDonald's.

Related to Barr Lumber, the city council recently signaled their wish that a high-end hotel or a "big box retailer" come to Rosemead, either at the Barr Lumber site or at the Auto Auction site (Garvey, about two blocks west of San Gabriel).

Remember when I blogged about how I thought the Barr Lumber site would remain vacant for a really long time? Well, it's seven months later, and nothing's changed.

Also in Savannah Cemetery. No, not the one from Philadelphia. :D

In honor of the 65th Anniversary of Victory in Europe Day, I've got a picture of another headstone marking the grave of a WWII veteran: Nick C. Pappas.
