Many City employees

ByAnonymous August 22, 2025August 22, 2025

The people and city Administration are either oblivious or don’t realize how so many of us are burnt out. Sure, quit— get another job, don’t take it personal. But, the sad part is many of us do love being here. There is so many pros to being a part of this city. However, this city…

Behind polished diversity statements and public gestures like the Dearing family land contribution, people of color working within the city are still being treated like they don’t belong. Employees are overworked,…

Residents Use Your Driveways or Garages! And Does Your 3 Person Household Really Need 7 Vehicles?

ByAnonymous June 28, 2025June 28, 2025

Pet Peeve #1: Piedmont residents who do not utilize their driveways or garages. I would understand if a driveway was unusable due to a steep incline but laziness to pull into a driveway is not an excuse to park your vehicle on the street. If the City of Pasadena, can mandate a 2am-6am No Parking…
