Under the Dome

Contest time

Now that the taxpaying public of Pasadena are proud owners of a defunct pizzeria what should we do with it?

The decision to spend $4.8 million was made without public input to stave off further litigation brought on by an ill-advised strategy to keep another strip club off Foothill Boulevard. According to one of the advertising reps, fur and noise from the dog kennel next door contributed to Shakey's demise.

Perhaps the public will have some say in what becomes of that property? So any ideas?

The Roger J. Diamond Center for the Performing Arts?

Leave a comment with your suggestion, the winning entry will be selected by the inimitable Molly Rachel Okeon and the winner will receive a lifetime free subscription to this blog.

UPDATED: The vote is in! Let's all please show our support for the Haderlein for Mayor Campaign Headquarters! (Slogan: "Priceless")

LOL Todd. Go to www.gizoogle.com and look up your blog. Sheds a whole new light on it. They should just put another animal related thing in that building. That place is like "Animal Row" (besides the In N Out and the Marie Callendar's)

Who are you gonna name the martini bar after?

I'd name the martini bar after someone deserving and appreciate of the beverage and Pasadena politics ====>> Bill Crowfoot. Though I understand there's a high ranking city staffer whose husband also qualifies under those criterion. Maybe the two guys could mud wrestle for the honor as a fundraiser or grand opening gala event. I understand the Rose Bowl's got some open dates!
