Check out this map of the potential damage from a magnitude 7.5 quake
on the Puente Hills fault. There is lots of dark gray on the map along
the route of the proposed 710 extension - maybe when The Big One hits
it will knock South Pasadena flat and you'll finally get your freeway!

According to that map, I'm as likely to be knocked flat as South Pasadena.
Besides, I want the pleasure of seeing them scream as the bulldozer rolls over
their faces. There's a tiny gray area in there which may refer to the Raymond
fault which, I think, is responsible for the scarp where the Huntington Hotel
(Ritz Carlton now?) is. Maybe they'll have to rebuild it yet again. That's
more San Marino than South Pasadena.

But look at the bright side - you'll finally get your freeway! ;)

ROFLMAO!!!! Is that any way for a sweet little old lady from Pasadena
to talk? :) :) :)

And you know they will. Rebuilding after an earthquake every 70 years
or so is just another cost of doing business...

Probably not, but whoever told you I was a sweet little old lady? Squirting
guts might be nice too.

Yeah, like they need earthquakes to do that.

Our local Ralph's (along with a dozen of small attached shops including a
See's Candy store)(and a GOLF store, for chrissake) has been completely
remodeled in the ugly style with a sort of mortarboard lid on the roof which
might be designed to provide shade if it was done properly, which it never
is. The highlight is that they're doubling the area of store+stupid
parking-lot beautifiers+useless concrete aprons outside the stores and halving
or even quartering the amount of available parking. Somebody must have
figured out that this is a smart thing to do, but I find it difficult to
believe. Maybe it's some sort of Mafia money-laundering thing...
