Save Our Community was founded in the movement to resist Wal-Mart's development in Rosemead, California. Now, it has become a general site for news, information, gossip, talk, and blogging about Rosemead. We also have stories about South San Gabriel, San Gabriel, Montebello, and occasionally about Pico Rivera, El Monte, South El Monte, Alhambra, Temple City, and other nearby communities. Your host is Todd. If you want a blog just sign up, get approved, and start writing. Good posts will be moved onto the home page.
Not to sound too down on
Not to sound too down on Rosemead (and South San Gabriel), but a lot of the city is already pretty slummy. The current city council isn't doing anything that's going to change that, so I expect places like Monterey Park and Alhambra will keep moving up, while the maids and gardeners for people in Monterey Park will get priced out of those cities and forced into Rosemead or East L.A.
The Wal Mart was sold to
The Wal Mart was sold to local business types as a way to raise property values along San Gabriel.
How is that working out?
:)
The only way to deal with the southside looking ugly is to focus on Garvey and San Gabriel.
That's funny
One might have asked northern Rosemead residents, "If Wal-Mart is going to make property more valuable, why don't you want it near your homes?"
