2. South Pas moms petition against massage parlors

Do you know that "Moms for Family and Community," a homegrown group, has called on the South Pasadena City Council to stop the proliferation of massage establishments in light of the possibility that the soon-to-close Blockbuster store on Fair Oaks might be replaced by what would be the city's 15th massage business? Click here to read about that. And click here to sign the group's online petition, urging the city council to clamp down on massage parlors and encourage businesses that support the community.
