Monrovia Pavilions Market - And All of Vons - Being Bought by Albertsons
The Albertsons supermarket company is buying the Safeway supermarket chain, which owns Vons and Vons Pavilions. There is a rumor on the Internet that the Pavilions at Myrtle and Foothill will close. http://goo.gl/I62VL8
Comment: Hmm. I would tend to doubt Albertsons would close the market as I don't think it overlaps any Albertsons' markets, and I'm not even sure that Alberstons will change the name. I'll try to update this as I learn more.

Work Beginning Again on Monrovia Commercial Building
The building on Myrtle right across from the fountain in Library Park seems it has been under construction for a long time without much visible progress, so I decided to check in with helpful Planning Division Manager Craig Jimenez to get an update. He writes:
"I know there have been several unexpected challenges with the building, however, they have begun working on the building again and hopefully we’ll see some progress soon. They are doing some stucco work and a sample of the cornice was installed at the top of the building for review of the Historic Preservation Commission.
"That’s about as much as I know at this point."
