I wanted to submit feedback regarding who seems to be a recent new employee working on Tuesday…read moreevenings - a white male young adult in his early twenties with curly blonde hair This male employee at the Community Center at 375 Campus Drive on Tuesday evenings is extremely aggressive. As part of the Beginning Line Dance Adult Class (SU26-4219), our class's official schedule is from 7:15 PM - 8:15 PM PDT. Last week on Tuesday, July 21, this employee in question, barged into the class slightly past 8:00 PM PDT and started yelling at us that class is over, with no respect or regard for the teacher either. He then started moving chairs every which way to begin stacking, except as a full class of 35 people, and on many occasions, over 35, we are already jam packed in there, so this male employee swinging chairs around carelessly in an attempt to rush us out of there while we are in the middle of class is extremely reckless and dangerous. Especially since this class has multiple students who are elderly. Is it a value of the Arcadia Recreation Team to have employees be rude to students who largely are from the young children and elderly age group? Is there a lack of training to this team, such that employees think it is okay to yell and disrupt a class that students have paid for and has not reached the designated ending time set by the city?  I feel in danger when I see this male barge in, as he clearly has no respect and is extremely hot headed. If he is in such a rush to end his shift, perhaps he should not be assigned to this evening time slot.  My family and I have been students in multiple classes since 2017, and never has there been an employee who treated a class with this level of disrespect. Multiple other students in this Tuesday class were unhappy with his behavior and called him out, only for him to continue shouting at us as he ignored us and stormed out of the classroom. If these are the values shown in experiences at Arcadia Recreation Center, I will have to end my time taking classes here this season, even though we have attended classes since 2017 and have taken Line Dance Class for the last 3 years. This is extremely disappointing service and disturbing behavior for an employee of the City of Arcadia to have.

A little over a week ago, I really thought I was about to lose everything in the Eaton Fire - but…read morethanks in large part to our amazing local heroes, that didn't happen. We are infinitely thankful for our Monrovia firefighters for saving our house and our cats (twice now)!! We feel very fortunate and our hearts are absolutely broken for all those who haven't been so lucky. Not only do they risk their lives and go above and beyond to fight the fires in our area and save our neighborhoods, but they are wonderful out in the community too. We've lived here eight years now and had to evacuate due to fires twice - during the Bobcat Fire and now the Eaton Fire. Both times, the Monrovia crew swooped in and stopped the fires from spreading down into our neighborhoods immediately. They will forever be our heroes! I also often see them working out at our local YMCA and they are nothing but friendly. Not to mention their presence during all of the Monrovia fairs and festivals - they even let me sit in their trucks in the truck "petting zoo" haha! I've run into them in the grocery stores - again, always so pleasant and kind. It's obvious they really love their community. My son was a firefighter in the Marines - it's such difficult dangerous work and we thank all of our local heroes!! We would have lost everything if it wasn't for you - I hope you all know how much we love and appreciate you!

I wish I could remember all their names, but I was pretty shaken up. These guys handled everything perfectly. They took my vitals, put me in a neck brace, and talked to me like total gentleman (which calmed me down a lot). I always tell people that "things don't happen like they do in the movies", but these guys were just like the movies: unsung heroes doing their jobs because it's the right thing to do, not for the glory. They really did make a bad situation much easier for me to deal with, and for that, they were my "heroes" for today. Thank you AFD! You are appreciated!

There's plenty of peacocks that you'll find hanging out around the residential streets behind Ralph's on Huntington Dr. near the LA Arboretum. The downside to Arcadia though is that if you're new to this community, you don't know that you're not supposed to park overnight on the streets or else you will get a ticket. That's what happened to my husband & I went we parked a mini-van rental car on the street. We didn't realize that we needed to pay for an overnight parking pass from the City Hall for this. =/
