In his latest report (https://goo.gl/aOqX7O) City Manager Dylan Feik reports:
~ A Burlington store (aka Burlington Coat Factory) is planning to open in the former Toys R' Us space in the Huntington Oaks Shopping Center this fall. Interior and exterior improvements are being now being made to the 40,411 square foot space, which is one of the largest spaces in the center.

Re: Monrovia's Community Gardens
ReplyDeleteDear Sir or Madam,
It is wonderful that you are starting to prepare Monrovia citizens for subsistence farming at a city collective, since doing the same thing on their personal property would be so inconsiderate.
This idea has worked so well for the Chinese that they eat bats and insects.
What a progressive view y'all have.
what a very racist and uneducated view you have ma'am
DeleteThe collective happens to be on church property so don't get so twisted mr ceo. BTW, not all citizens of monrovia have personal property. Have you ever heard of apartments??? Your ignorance is showing.
ReplyDeleteThe previous comment is so incredibly hateful,not only does planting teach kids about preserving the earth but it allows them to feel like they are doing something special.I am sure schelly doesn't believe in global warming or education or keeping negative comments that don't concern him to himself. Let's spread love not hate. Bless you for doing something positive.
DeleteIf you don't want to participate in the community garden, then don't. It's not mandatory and many people find it fun and meaningful.
