The PUSD & Altadena Town Council Joint Meeting:

Pasadena Unified School District and Altadena Town Council will participate in a joint meeting to be held on December 4 at 7 p.m. in the Eliot Middle School Auditorium, 2184 N. Lake Avenue in Altadena. Issues regarding Altadena and its schools will be discussed. Also, representatives from the County of Los Angeles will be on hand to discuss joint use of green space. The public are welcome to attend.

I love Altadena. With more crazies per square mile, it's one of the best things about Pasadena. When my cell phone signal cuts out just above New York Drive, I feel like I'm back in Jalalabad. Altadenastan?

The boys (and girl) on the PUSD board will be grasping for breath up in that rarified, oxygen-deprived atmosphere when they head up to absorb a decade's worth of pent-up angst and rage over the school district many Altadenans feel they have no voice in.

Visiting City Hall online, I saw the home page is currently this image of a Trojan looming over the Rose Bowl. Someone is having fun.

The only thing that's going to bring Trojan football to the Rose Bowl next year is if the USC paints itself into a corner with this all-or-nothing campaign to win concessions from the Coliseum. And despite efforts by the Governor and Mayor (who always get their way, right? <.<), it sounds like they could end up with nothing, aka our beloved Rose Bowl.

Coliseum commissioners receive threats

The bitter standoff between USC and the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum intensified Thursday as members of the stadium's governing board reported getting death threats from angry fans while legislators worked behind the scenes to revive negotiations.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa are looking for ways to help broker a deal that would keep USC from moving its home games to Pasadena's Rose Bowl.

If anything, relations between the university and stadium officials appear to be growing more acrid.

But then again, someone suggests L.A. Times editors are frustrated USC alums who've had enough with the Coliseum Commission.
