Listen to "Psychic Bag Lady" song by Cuervo Negro (((AUDIO)))

Its a song about a reader talking to herself about the end of the world and how people choose to ignore the problem. It was written in Venice Beach, CA so it has this surfer beat that brings the song to life!

Pasadena may build overpass at Gold Line on California Blvd

By STEVE SCAUZILLO Pasadenans have a love-hate relationship with the Gold Line. They love the convenience of a train whisking them to Los Angeles from six stations throughout the Crown City. However, when the train emerges from its underground lair and crosses Del Mar Boulevard, California Boulevard and Glenarm Street at street level, the sentiments of motorists mired at the downed gates similarly take a turn. In fact, those waiting three or more minutes or several signal cycles may curse the train as they jockey from lane to lane to find a quicker way to cross. “As much as a I love the Gold Line, it certainly has bisected our city during rush hour,” Pasadena City Councilman Andy Wilson said. “It is part of the bigger narrative of city congestion.” Read more...

The Prodigal Child of Pasadena by Jhantu Randall

I met up with the current subject for this article, Bing Bing on a Saturday evening at Nate’s Chicken and Waffles in Seattle. Before I get too far ahead of myself, Bing Bing is the stage name of Michael Taylor, the man who brought me in and gave me an opportunity at ThaWilsonBlock Magazine. With that explanation stated up front, this article is the perfect test as I’ve covered artists, live performances, and entrepreneurs and this man is a culmination of all 3. From creating a publication that promotes local artists and events that highlight the culture, to a podcast that gives listeners a chance to hear the voice of an unheard star before they make their mark, Hip Hop is the lifeblood that tells the hustlers’ story. It gives a voice to the voiceless, the underclass that's routinely propped up as pawns and then forced to carry the burden of feeling forgotten. It’s these precise circumstances that fuel an indescribable desire to rise above the position your were given, live the Amer...

The Entire Broadband & Mobile Industries Are Suing the State of California

The entire broadband and mobile industries have just declared war on the State of California, thanks to a recently-passed net neutrality law. The entire broadband and mobile industries have just declared war on the State of California, thanks to a recently-passed net neutrality law. After a roller coaster legislative process, California finally passed SB 822 into law. Governor Jerry Brown signed the bill over the weekend , effectively creating the most stringent net neutrality statutes in the United States. That prompted a quick lawsuit from the U.S. Department of Justice, and fighting words from the Federal Communications Commission. Ahead of SB 822’s passage, FCC commissioner Ajit Pai called California’s legislation ‘illegal,’ and vowed to crack down on the rogue state. Now, a slew of major ISPs and mobile access providers, including Comcast, Verizon, Cox Communications, AT&T, and Spectrum, have joined the Trump Administration’s legal war against California. In a lawsuit filed...

View This Property Every thoughtful detail of this iconic estate contributes to the rich lifestyle delivered, comparable to New England countryside manors, where gardens have room to grow, grandeur is softened by warmth, and formality yields to frivolity and play.

The finest interior and landscape design teams were then commissioned to take this perfect palate and create the inspired residence seen today. In addition to the four-bedroom main house, there is a guest room, which could also be used as an office or studio, with a full bathroom, pool bathroom and separate entrance. Outside, find a covered kitchen, dining room, and bar, as well as a fire pit, swimmers’ pool, spa, grassy yard, meditation garden, vegetable garden and tranquil water features.
