Here is a Thanksgiving present for everyone, courtesy of a YouTube poster who goes by the name of Citizen of Sierra Madre. At the end of the City Council's somewhat frustrating discussion about McMansion development at One Carter, and long after public comment had closed, one meeting attendee decided she'd heard just about enough. With the aid of her attendant, 91-year-old Maude Ann Taylor, a resident in town, walked up to the public comment podium and gave what many now believe was the speech of the night. Judging by the effect her talk had on the room that acclaim is well deserved.

What Maude Ann Taylor articulated in her public comment so well seems to have escaped the City Council. The issue here is not "less bad" development on our hillsides, rather it is something that is exponentially more important. It is also a discussion that we need to be having.

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — One of the busiest streets in all of Los Angeles is apparently suffering from an identity crisis.

For what was reportedly a few days earlier this month, a freeway sign installed above Interstate 710 was displayed with Olympic Boulevard misspelled with an “I” in place of the “Y”, according to The Associated Press. The large green exit sign was covered with a tarp and eventually removed, but not before drivers snapped and tweeted photographs of the mega-typo earlier this month, The Los Angeles Times reported.

Twitter user and Times Assistant Managing Editor Shelby Grad posted an image of the misspelling Nov. 10 before it was covered.

Caltrans spokeswoman Kelly Markham told The Times that the subcontractor will pay for a new sign.
