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.
Monterey Park
I think Monterey Park, from Atlantic Times Square south, is going to turn into this sort of "New Urbanist nostalgia" corridor. I don't head that way very often, but the last few times I drove down Atlantic, I was surprised by the number of multi-story apartments that have popped up behind the multi-story retail and service businesses. That's very different from what you see in San Gabriel, where they've put in the high density commercial, but there's no new residential developments to be found. It's also different from Rosemead, where I also have not seen any new residential developments coming in there. It's just knock-downs and McMansions, which does not seem very sustainable to me.
