Arcadia Mayor Eileen Wang has agreed to plead guilty to a federal charge related to acting as an unregistered agent of the People’s Republic of China, according to the U.S. Department of Justice and ABC7 reporting.

Federal prosecutors allege Wang worked under the direction of PRC officials to promote Chinese government interests and messaging within the United States without registering as required under federal law.

According to the DOJ, the conduct included promoting PRC government narratives and positions related to Taiwan while participating in influence efforts tied to local politics.

Earlier this year, we posted the related federal case involving Yaoning “Mike” Sun and its documented connection to a 2022 Arcadia campaign.

With Epstein agent making bomb threats. Gas is remains out of control. Here’s my take.

I work down the street from Knotts Berry Farm. If purchase a pass and a meal pass with it. I could save on lunch and go eat there for $250 that includes the rest of the year.
I could walk to Knotts so I wouldn’t buy parking. Go there after work grab something. I know theme park food isn’t the best option. But they have like their version of Chipotle. A bowl is about $20 with a drink at Chipotle. So if I ate there for 14 days it would pay for itself.

I live in Covina. Sorry for posting in the sgv. But everything here is expensive

What places do y’all like? Ive tried a few that I didn’t love but I know there must be some solid places in the area.

Hello! I am looking for recommendations for vegan/vegetarian restaurants or general restaurants with a wide selection of vegan/vegetarian options. Please and thank you!

Hey SGV neighbors—is it just me, or has this spring been absolutely wild for rodent activity? I’ve lived and worked around Alhambra, Arcadia, and Pasadena for a while, but lately, it feels like the rats are working overtime.

Since California updated its regulations on certain deterrents, I did a little digging into how to handle this without breaking any rules (or breaking the bank). Here’s what I’ve found actually helps:

• The "Citrus Highway": We all love our lemon and orange trees, but roof rats use those branches like a private 405. If your trees are touching your roof or fence, you’re basically giving them a VIP entrance to your attic. Try to keep a 2–3 foot gap—it’s the easiest way to cut off their commute.
• Palm Tree "Retreats": If you’ve got those messy, unskinned palms nearby, you've got rat hotels. Trimming back those dead fronds is huge for taking away their favorite nesting spots.
• Midnight Buffet: Now that it’s warming up, leaving pet food or water out overnight is basically an open invitation. If you can, bring the bowls in at dusk so you aren’t accidentally hosting a dinner party for the local wildlife.
• "Dime" Rule: It’s wild, but a rat can squeeze through a hole the size of a quarter, and mice only need a space the size of a dime. Check your vents and utility lines—if you see a gap, stuff it with steel wool or hardware cloth. They can’t chew through that like they do with wood.

Has anyone else noticed more rodent visitors than usual this year? I know the recent pesticide bans have changed the game for a lot of us, so I’m curious—what are you guys doing for DIY or natural fixes that actually work?

Stay safe (and rat-free), SGV!

Basically the title. I just need to complete my registration, looking for cheap and not terribly slow.
