What better time to take in the scenery above this city than on a clear day after the rain? Here are some images from Canyon Park, which was a popular destination Thursday morning for hikers and cyclists.

I kind of lost interest when, along with the Lion's barbecue, the carnival disappeared but there…Read More were always people I knew in the parade so I kept the date. Now that the parade is gone, it's just another festival day in town. Times change and this kind of under-stated event is what people want. The old Monrovia Days used to be a day we could all get together and have fun. Now, people are too busy with their own lives and "community" doesn't mean what it once did.

Interesting.
There was one person who decided that letting Monrovia Day slide with nothing done…Read More wasn't gonna play. BY HERSELF and her family and friends planned all of it and set everything up.
That person was Keely Milliken. It was astounding how much got done, and without financial support or the usual cast of players to do anything. There were many pitfalls, permits that needed approval and what not...Perhaps if you voiced your displeasure to the City Council and volunteered your personal money and weeks of planning and organizing you'd feel a lot better about it. I can say with absolute conviction that Keely should hold her head high, and I was glad to be a part of it. With almost no money, the people that volunteered their time and efforts are not ashamed, but rather glad that at last minute a albeit mellower version, something nice was created. Sometimes being able to apologize is the biggest most wonderful quality a human can have.
I am wrong, often, but not on this one.
Great job Keely and family/friends. Thank you for all the hard work.

Danielle, you can call City Hall and they will direct you to the correct people. These people…Read More worked hard to plan this with what little money we have.

Cool presentation. Many of us have had our own encounters and all of us have seen numerous photos…Read More and videos so your creative approach freshened it up for us.

A California city will never prevail in a lawsuit against the STATE. All CA. cities must merge to…Read More sue in mass under Federal RICO laws while we still have Federal laws. Filing alone at the State level is useless. Wake up people.
