The intent of the column
is to let everybody know briefly what Sierra Madre businesses and non-profit/civic
organizations are up to. If you have an item or event of interest
coming up, contact me here.
This page will be updated as I hear about things and have time
to post, so check back frequently. It's going to be like a perpetual
column. Parts will be the same, but there may be new stuff inserted throughout
the column, so check for the bold type to see if you've read the items before.
If you, like me,
had heard the rumors that Mountain View was up for sale, you'll be
happy to hear that owner Jim Spencer informs me that MV is not for sale,
in fact, they're more committed than ever to being a neighborhood eatery.
All dinner menu items are now $8.99 (if you want something that's not on the
menu, and he's got it in the kitchen, you can get it but it may cost more than
$8.99), and they are planning to open for breakfast soon. They're also
looking at getting an entertainment license. Check back for updates....K's
Deli has revised their menu and their hours. They've brought back
some of the Mexican menu, added a California Burger, and ended the Kebob Night
promotion. Their new hours are 8 to 6 M-F, 8 to 4 Saturday, Sunday catering
only..... The Coburn Group and Gwen Gordon/Graphic Solutions have
agreed to joint venture another Downtown Map flyer like they did back in June.
That black and white flyer is available at City Hall, Savor the Flavor,
Dr. Challita's, and Julia Rocks. The new flyer will be a full-color version,
and will feature a full-color version of a downtown district map similar to
this one, as well as short write-ups about
annual Sierra Madre events. The publication will have a Thanksgiving Day
newspaper distribution of 66,000 in the San Gabriel Valley. That date was
chosen to get Sierra Madre businesses in the paper on the busiest newspaper advertising
day of the year, the day before the busiest shopping day of the year. The
flyer is funded by sales of ads/listings to Sierra Madre businesses. To reserve
your space, contact us..... Savor
the Flavor has contracted with Side
by Slide Multimedia Presentations
to design, monitor and maintain their
website. The design process is
