The News From Pedro
Well I'm back from my vacation, which I'll bore you all about some other time, and there's a pile of news on my cluttered desk/screen. So here it goes:
On the "Diesel Death Trap" front - L.A. Times coverage of increased cancer rates for Harbor Area residents. God doesn't roll dice (so says Einstein), but those of us in the Harbor Area play a riskier game than others, at least where cancer is concerned. The Times also weighs in on the new trucking schedule and community reaction to it. And the S.F. Chronicle weighs in on the regional risks (thanks to Mayor Sam for the Times trucking story and the S.F. link). UPDATE: The Daily Breeze comes along a day late with their coverage of the ARB Report.
On the general economic front, the South Bay supposedly is going to have strong economic growth coming up. Since economists are never wrong (just like George Bush!), I'll take this news with a salt boulder, especially since the word "boom" is used in the article's title.
And on to the local development front, the Breeze reports on the proposed 2,300 units on the old Navy housing on Western as well as Harbor Comission Presidend David Freeman's desire to see a meaningful anchor to the Bridge to Breakwater development. Warehouse 1 = art/museum space? Word is the Port had "art consultants" flown in from back East a few weeks or so back...
Let's not forget Reggie - The Times is running a story on the potential benefits of his long term residency. Apparently T-Bone is now living at the lake, as well.
There was a big gun and drug bust in Pedro, David Mattina, owner of Harold's Place and son of Harold got busted with 40 guns, crack cocaine, meth and pot. The question? Will Harold's survive? I hope that the punk shows don't have to move again.
Did anyone happen to go to either of the meetings last week? I'd love to get filled in.
