"We Call This A Crosswalk"

Okay, that's pedestrian safety covered. Perhaps we can conduct a seminar where we show Glendale drivers how to apply the so-called "brake pedal".

Glendale News-Press Now Twittering

The Glendale News-Press is now filing dispatches via Twitter.  Mostly links to stories in the paper so far, but there are a few on-the-scene tweets from Zain Shauk and new editor Dan Evans.  I'm not hip to twitter yet; I just joined tonight to follow the News-Press and Franklin Avenue.

Credit Card Fraud In Glendale

Given that Glendale is ground zero for an apalling amount of fraud, I am pretty careful about where and when I use my credit card.  Despite this, I was just awakened by a phone call from the fraud prevention unit of my bank telling me that there were some unusual charges made to my card last night.  I experienced similar credit card fraud about two years ago as well, and so have most of my co-workers in Glendale at some point.  Double check those credit card statements.
