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.
Here's Jim's note

It will be considered again by the Conservation Committee on May 16. Paving a natural area to make a parking lot is something no environmental organization should support.

> There is an inaccuracy in your post. Yes, I do oppose the Discovery Center at the natural area and I am a Green Party member. The Discovery Center has yet to be considered on Green Party agenda anywhere to my knowledge. I posted the same message you published at Save Our City to several Peace and Justice sites and to several Green Party sites.
