Chamber campaign in the making?

| | Comments (5) |

It's taboo to say something like this on the same day as a tragedy but ...

Pasadena has become such a destination city, people are driving from as far afield as Tujunga to jump to their deaths.

I appreciate that few sentences in this story are burdened down by unnecessary "police said" attributions.

Hey it easy to make fun, but I heard the guy became suicidally distraught when he found out the Do'h Dah was publicly financed.

So is it called Murder-Suicide Bridge now?

The story makes it clear that it was merely an issue of mismarked parking spaces. As the SN story says: "[The man}parked the car alongside Pasadena's Colorado Street Bridge and plunged to his death. " Last time I looked, there was only air "alongside" the bridge. That's why its a bridge.
