Thank you city of Glendora for taking this matter seriously. If only our neighbor city would take on the same law.

I wish Glendora would allow safe and sane fireworks. I grew up here in Glendora my whole life, and so much has changed. 4th of July is about celebrating our freedom, and enjoying fireworks with my kids. What is the difference if the fireworks are legal across barranca we should all enjoy together.

i think it is a great law, however, very difficult to enforce unless it is done in front of an officer. I had fireworks going off like crazy last night next door, call the Glendora Police and it took over 30 minutes for a response. By that time fireworks done, people gone and house was dark.

Yes, they do need to bulldoze Hobo Junction along with the recycling center to the west of it thatRead More attracts its inhabitants.

You are so right Danlp oh how I wish they would clean that area up. I might be wrong but it appearsRead More to be getting worse. They not only take up all the grass area but are now starting to sit out in front of Wells Fargo. Come on Glendora.....

I agree, NOT a firecracker. Does anyone know what street it actually happened on, since we allRead More thought it was loud enough that it must be our street ??
K.K June 17, 2013 at 08:06 am
That's what I've been wondering????? Typical Glendora withholding information. Sounded like a methRead More lab blowing up. I heard it was on vista Bonita and some type of " chemical fire".

I called the non-emergency # for the Glendora Police Dept. and the operator told me 'they' knewRead More nothing about the explosion. Then I told her I had 'just read' on Patch that a Glendora Police Officer had told a resident that it probably was an industrial fire cracker, but I 'thought' it was way too massive for that. The operator had 'nothing' more to say.

Dance Street West has great teachers who have the great ability to combine serious dance instructionRead More with lots of fun! My girls and their friends love it!

Well, good luck with that Donald, I've been sending emails to the City Manager ( Mr. Jeffries) for 2Read More years about that stretch of road and all that's been done is the filling of two small potholes. The road condition is an embarrassment to all in the city.

I agree with you Danlp, it is a mess on Grand Ave. from Bennett to Sierra Madre. The road had soRead More many pot holes its hard to travel and its a main street wich is just making it worse. Wish they would do something about it Grand Ave.We pay taxes , and my car would appreciate it alot save on matience on my tires and balance.
B.K. Holthaus May 31, 2013 at 10:44 pm
Amen to you both. I have seen several streets in Glendora that could use repair. I was recentlyRead More driving in cities with much fewer resources and and smaller budgets than Glendora wondering why their roads are better than ours. Maybe we need to start with Grand and go from there....
