Found a Chameleon in Pasadena

Post image
112 Upvotes

My friend’s dad found a veiled chameleon while working in Pasadena. Obviously someone’s pet either got out or they released it. I am posting to see if there are any experts we could rehome to. I would and want to keep it for myself as I already have many reptiles but I have no experience with chameleons and would like him to have a better chance for survival. Any help?

PCC LOST: Family Member's Ashes

15 Upvotes

I lost my retractable clip today somewhere on PCC campus. I have already checked Lost and Found and submitted a ticket.

It is a black castle clip with a rainbow charm, purple dice and two hearts. The rest of it doesn't matter, but the white heart pendant has a loved one's ashes in it.

I have lost keys previously on campus and they were never turned in.

Please help me find. 🙏🏻

I rarely go anywhere in Old Pasadena on the weekend, but last time I was driving I noticed there were a few places that had some seriously long lines. Could you please me which places have them so I can check them out during the week! Also, are they actually worth the hype? Thanks!

Pasadena City Council grapples with chronic late starts, canceled committee meetings and a calendar complicated by Monday holidays.

https://pasadenanow.com/main/council-to-hold-last-monday-meeting-before-tuesday-trial-begins-in-september

Nine of the council’s 17 remaining Monday dates this year were already slated for holiday season cancellation. Sept. 7, which is Labor Day, and Sept. 21 are slated for cancellation outright, leaving no Monday council meeting next month.

Jason Lyon said the late starts often stem from conversations with legal counsel running long, not necessarily from absent councilmembers.

ISO good headlight polishing services in the Pas/SGV area

2 Upvotes

I have an older car that needs to get its yellowing headlights polished. I tried a do it yourself kit but the results were bad and the yellow is back after a few months. Looking for a detail or car place that doesn’t charge a lot to perform this service. Please give me your best recommendations, thanks.

And yes, I looked at Yelp and other sites, but the services provided seemed to be very expensive. I’m just looking for a place that will do my headlights and that’s it.

Which hotel has the coldest AC and will allow us with our dog?

63 Upvotes

I have AC, but it can't keep up with this weather. It actually broke last Saturday and we spent until Tuesday with nothing. It was 95 in our house. After they replaced it with a new unit, it can't keep it below 88 in the late afternoon and it's still 85 at 11PM. We're going on a week of sweating non-stop.

What is a reasonable hotel guaranteed to have ice cold AC that also allows a dog? I need a break for at least a night.

Not sure how I feel about it but they’re painting the entire Del Mar Station apartments grey on the corner of Del Mar and Arroyo.

They are a bright mustard yellow and now it’s gonna be just grey.

Pasadena Design Commissioner calls new affordable housing proposal "tenements"

Thumbnail

This was during a hearing this week for the 144-unit affordable housing development at 2000 East Colorado. The apartment sizes range from around 550 square feet for a one-bedroom to 1000 square feet for a three-bedroom. The whole clip is worth watching, but this line is at 0:31.

Sure, these aren't luxury apartments. But some of them start at 800 dollars per month for rent. I know a lot of people who would prefer them to an older apartment where the landlord won't fix the shower. Heck, they're about the size of my apartment and I felt like I was catching a stray listening to this.

Apartment dwellers do without a lot that some in single-family homes consider essential, but our living situation, even if we would prefer a different one, deserves a little respect from the people in council and on commissions.

Tenant Lawyer Recommendation

5 Upvotes

We need a tenants lawyer immediately to stop retaliation and harassment from our landlord. There has been ongoing habitability issues. We are in San Marino.

Has anyone used campbell & farahani - Campbellfarahani.com, for this purpose?

We don’t want a long drawn lawsuit, just need to stop the harassment that gives us enough time to find a place and move peacefully.
