Recently, a reader took exception to one of my Patch columns. Oh, why be so modest -- she takes exception to almost everything I write, but prefers to send her comments to me, personally and offline.
“Shut up already," she wrote. “Enough complaining about Altadena. I like the town, just the way it is.”
Really? Well, what about the new second-hand store?
“I found a dress.”
Rite-Aid?
“I get a discount.”
Store-front churches?
"What's wrong with religion? The thing is, Karin, I moved to Altadena because it is Altadena. It’s funky, and not an imitation of any other place. You don’t want us to be,” and here she sneered, “another Sierra Madre, do you?”
Well, no, of course not. Just … maybe. Sort of, a little bit.
“Because if you really like Sierra Madre so much, why stay here?”
She has a point. If downtown (more on Patch)
