316 S. Myrtle Avenue - A Look At The Future
The upper photo is of the former Sell's Furniture / Patty's Antiques (and, I'm sure, others) building located directly across from Library Park that has been vacant for a while now. The bottom photo is an enlargement of the image on the top of the building and, I'm guessing, the plan for the location. Nice looking building. Possibly retail space on the ground floor facing the street. Office space for the rest of the building.
If the new building is shown facing Myrtle Avenue, what happened to the businesses to the north and south?
This block was included for possible redevelopment as part of "Vision 2015" (pages 17 - 19 specifically). Now that there is no more redevelopment agency, how does that affect projects on this block and "Vision 2015"?
I'm always curious about new developments, if anyone has any details about what's going in here, I'd love to hear it.

Monrovia Hong Kong Supermarket Update
Peeking through the window.
I've posted a photo before of how good the exterior looks, but the interior still has some work to be done.
The check stands and most, if not all, of the stuff still here was left behind by the previous supermarket tenant.
Don't expect to shop here for the 4th of July. According to the Pasadena Star-News, it will be more like August or September before they open.
