The SGV Tribune is reporting an upcoming "probable cause" checkpoint in West Covina. Cars with visible violations, including windows that are tinted too dark or dice hanging from the rear view mirror will be stopped, and checked for other violations. So, remember: If you're heading into West Covina, leave your dice at home!

Story in the L.A. Times.

Interesting comment about a Duarte resident with silicosis. That's normally something a coal miner would get.

San Gabriel may have their Mission, but we have the Dinsmoor House. Rosemead's going to spend about $700,000 over the next few years to preserve this historic house. What's historic about it? Well, it's not the oldest house in the city. It was never occupied by anyone of political, commercial, or historical note.

Meeting scheduled for 6:30pm - 8:00pm on Wednesday, March 3 at the San Gabriel library. More information here.

Wal-Mart is allegedly considering opening a store in El Monte, so the San Gabriel Valley Tribune is beating the Wal-Mart drum, again.
