Where in the world is Temple City?

I don't know him, but I always enjoyed the dispatches from L.A. Times reporter Hector Tobar when he was stationed in Mexico City, and I've been enjoying his column since his return to Spring Street.

Tobar did an especially good job on the enigma of a Gil Cedillo -- a kid from Boyle Heights who made good, only to be chastised during his recent race for Congress for living high on the hog, for being such a big spender of contributors' money on fancy food and clothes.

But in his wrap-up Tuesday of the 32nd Congressional District race that Cedillo lost to Judy Chu in the Democratic Primary, I had to pause at this line: "Chu's victory in the barrios of El Monte, Temple City and other places ..."

Barrios -- in hyper-middle-class TC? There aren't any. The Latino families who live there are sprinkled around in the mostly Asian and white city.

And, oh yeah -- Temple City is not even in the 32nd District. It's in Adam Schiff's 29th District.

Other than that, point of the column well taken: It's a good thing for us, for the future of the San Gabriel Valley, that so many Latinos felt comfortable voting for a candidate with an Asian name.

Yep... The chinese population has significantely grown in the recent years. Temple City shouldn't be called 'diverse' anymore since it is almost at a point of being a 'one race city'.

Foolish.

Looking for fault in the real newspaper in the area.

A mother was preparing pancakes for her sons, Kevin, 5, and Ryan, 3. The boys began to argue over who would get the first pancake. Their mother saw the opportunity for a moral lesson. If Jesus were sitting here, He would say, "Let my brother have the first pancake. I can wait."Kevin turned to his younger brother and said, "Ryan, you be Jesus."
