SHOUT OUT TO OUR TRIVIA PARTICIPANTS!
|
|
Congratulations to our winner Richard S. from Montebello who was the first to answer correctly in last month's newsletter!
Thank you to everyone who participated in last month's South Lake Trivia Game! We wanted to take a moment and shout out the first participant who answered correctly! The correct answer is Corner Bakery. Inspired by great fresh ingredients, Corner Bakery's small neighborhood bakery on a corner in downtown Chicago began creating artisan breads and freshly baked sweets. And upon a little success, neighbors began to ask Corner Bakery for sandwiches made with that fabulous bread, followed by homemade soups and salads, and even made-to-order scramblers. Their guests’ requests continued to inspire them as their bakery’s menu and business grew. For more information, please visit Corner Bakery.
Be the first to answer our monthly trivia question correctly for a chance to win a prize at South Lake Avenue's year end Holidayfest event! One (1) entry per person per Trivia Game Question. Participants selected and announced are eligible to enter again after 90 days. Details subject to change due to COVID-19 developments.
CONGRATULATIONS TO ANNOUNCED PARTICIPANTS!
Debbie C. from Pasadena (January)
Richard S. from Montebello (February)

ACCESSORY FOOD SERVICE ORDINANCE DEVELOPMENT |
Some community groups have asked the City to develop an ordinance requiring restaurants and other food service providers to allow their customers to opt-out from automatically receiving accessory food service ware (i.e. plastic cutlery, napkins, straws, etc.) for take-out and delivery orders. The City of Pasadena’s proposed Accessory Food Service Ware Ordinance will likely include these key measures:
- Restaurants and other food service providers shall only provide accessory food service ware upon the request of the customer.
- Third-party, app-based delivery platforms shall include on their platforms an option for customers to affirmatively request food service accessories.
- This ordinance shall not preclude restaurants and other food service providers from asking customers if they would like accessories with their order, or providing self-service dispensers.
|
|
|
|
The Citizen Service Center (CSC) is a centralized service to help Pasadena residents connect with their City.
|
|
|
|
A reminder to dial 9-1-1 for emergencies. For non-emergencies, please contact Pasadena Police at 626-744-4241.
