Have you visited Pasadena’s newest urban park - Playhouse Village Park?

Located at 701 E. Union Street just north of the Playhouse on El Molino.

Enjoy the lush new green scape with a children’s playground, amphitheater, and a shaded picnic area

Breaking: One of the most beautiful historic office buildings in #Pasadena just signed on a new restaurant opening this year. This will help activate this corner and build a stronger pedestrian connection along Colorado Blvd. #fogodechao #brazilianbbq

@colinmarshall OMG almost a decade ago!

@clopezhanley @GavinNewsom @Portantino Agreed. Jaywalking tickets are anti-pedestrian and totally backwards. Make our city streets safer with design changes that actually make it safer to walk, not penalizing pedestrians and discouraging them from walking.

[Brigham Yen @brigham]

#AB1238 will make pedestrians safer at little to no cost to the state. Plus, it will eliminate pretextual police stops for jaywalking that make the public less safe. It’s time to move forward with decriminalizing jaywalking. @GavinNewsom @Portantino

[Brigham Yen @brigham]

Jaywalking laws have nothing to do with public safety. Oakland PD deprioritized bike/walk stops in 2018 & issued zero jaywalking tickets in 2019, yet severe pedestrian injuries & deaths actually dropped 11% from 2017 to 2019. @GavinNewsom @Portantino

[Brigham Yen @brigham]

There is no evidence that jaywalking laws make pedestrians safer. Pedestrian crashes haven't decreased even while jaywalking enforcement has increased. We must invest in what works - safer infrastructure & decriminalization. Pass #AB1238 now! @GavinNewsom @Portantino

@RichardHaass @sewellchan That is exactly how I feel about the Democratic Party. It no longer aligns with my values at all. This isn't just a GOP thing, let's be clear about that. There are countless Democrats who have joined #walkaway movement.

@jarrettcatlin Does "expanding renter protections" ultimately end up with "free rent for life" at taxpayers expense? And how does having more landlord regulations incentivize developers who build more housing supply? I'm not convinced.

@jerec22 @JanmanAura @ginacarano Didn't they try to sue the bakery who refused to make a cake for the gay couple? They were a private business. Why does Disney get a pass? (I'm gay btw, and don't agree with the cancel culture going on whatsoever)

[Brigham Yen @brigham]

@disneyplus @4everBrandy @RHCinderella @RnH_Org Shame on you Disney+ for firing @ginacarano because of her views while you kept @PedroPascal1 for saying pretty much the damn same thing in 2018. #hypocrisy #DoubleStandards #CancelDisneyPlus

@shaunking @RealJusticePAC @GeorgeGascon Yay for criminals? I don't get it. What will we do to address actual crimes that are committed against innocent people? #stockholmsyndrome

This nightmare will end. Take care of yourself.

The idea that Facebook would brag about “pre-ducing” distribution even before a fact check shows how far we’ve come on this topic - a few years ago this would be the kind of thing James O’Keefe would uncover through secret recordings.

Now execs just…tweet it out...

[Brigham Yen @brigham]

@andymstone Pretty despicable, Facebook.
