Tiles Found to Repair Fountain | fire Services for Sierra Madre? | Power Outage | Older Monrovian

In a report to the community, Monrovia City Manager Oliver Chi reports that...

    Hi Brad,
    On 11/03/2014, you wrote that "the rare style of roof tiles have been located (about 100 are needed) so the (sic) the fountain can now be completed, just as it originally appeared more than 100 years ago". Subsequently, on 12/05/2014, you quoted Jim Wigton that the "replacement Spanish tiles have not yet been delivered to Public Works (we are getting them from Architectural Detail in Pasadena).

    Now, on 3/10/2015, you write (once again) that Sophia Nakov "found the historic tiles needed to complete repairs on the Library Park wishing well in Frankfort, Illinois".

    For heaven's sake, Brad, how many fountains are there in Monrovia that need new tiles? Is the City and Historic Preservation Group confused on where the fountain is and what needs to be done?

      Fair point. In my defense I just publish these items as they come along, but I hope they fix it soon so I stop embarrassing myself.

    Brad, it's things like this that makes me wonder if the City and the Historic Preservation Group know what they're doing. So sad.
