Been going to this place and never thought about about giving it a review hehe…read more Here I am... Back at this place a hundred times. This place offer so much. The SFS city rep helps you with every question you have. They also offer a lounge for junior high and high school students to hangout. There's all kinds of activities for them to relax and hang out with friends after school. They always have a staff on floor to monitor them. That's pretty cool. Wished I had that available when I was a kid. They offer a lot of classes for resident and non-resident. I can't express how much I love this city :)

You absolutely have to see a film at the Old Town Music Hall!!!!…read more We went for my partners birthday and it was so exciting to see the 100 year old Wurlitzer in all its glory. We saw a rare Gloria Swanson silent film along w a talk by a brilliant film historian. Every show opens with a little performance but we were lucky enough to see a silent film which means that the organist live scores the entire film just as it would have been done in the 20s ! Such a special experience, and a must for any fans of music, film, and LA history.

Just when you begin to lose faith in humanity, you run into a spot like this…read more I've lived nearby for almost 9 years yet didn't discover this gem until a few months ago. I'm constantly going to revival and old theaters like The Egyptian, New Beverly, and Aero theatre and wanted to add this one to the rotation. Essentially, they transport you back in time to the early 20th century when movie theaters started taking off! And not just about the old films they show, we're talking OG Dr. Pepper in a glass bottle and lobby cards and photos on the wall. A giant Wurlitzer organ where our organist started off the night's festivities with a few words of history and a few songs on the organ. We even did some sing-alongs lol. Everyone in the red vests are volunteers keeping this running. You can sense the deep passion they all have for preserving this history and a deep love of cinema. Got a brochure calendar for showings through June and will now make sure I come out at least once a month.

This location is a full-service post office, located at the West side of the City…read more I was at the post office this week and saw the bronze plaque, which reminded me of the ceremony. In 2006, I was fortunate to attend the dedication of the post office in honor of Captain Lillian L. Keil. She was a resident of the City and retired from the US Air Force as a Flight Nurse during World War II. She passed away in 2005, Congress passed a bill naming this post office in her memory. I vividly remember Congresswoman Hilda Solis initiating this request and Commander George Ogden from the West Covina Veterans Post speaking on Captain Keils' numerous awards and achievements. Salute to the military officials and troops who fight to keep our Country safe!! Note: The City has a second post office by City Hall, but it's a smaller satellite office. They do not have residential home delivery service. All mail at 5pm is taken to this location on Rimsdale Avenue. A large semi truck arrives at 6pm and takes ALL outgoing mail from the City to the hub in the City of Industry. That is the logistics of sending and receiving mail in this city. We are able to use the self-service machine to buy postal and mail small packages, letters and bills (*:*). Good and efficient service, you can depend on them to assist you every day. Check out the lobby, see the plaque and don't forget to tell'em that Rosemary sent ya!

This is regarding the Building Section. We purchased a single family home in Azusa and want to do…read moreeverything permitted and to code, which we expected the City would gladly support. In the Fall of last year, it took multiple calls to get John out to the residence to inspect. He kept canceling or not showing at all. We seemed to be putting him out whenever we asked for documentation. Finally, we had to go down there in person and talk to the Building Official to get anyone out. I figured it was a one-off and moved past it. Now we have a wonderful subcontractor who has installed a central HVAC and we're reliving the same hell from Fall. And yes, we have Inspector John again. He makes an appointment and then claims at the last minute "we're not on his route." WTF? After scheduling time off work and childcare for the two young kids AND the subcontractor who is present to answer any technical questions. I'm writing today because it is evident that a) this isn't a "one off" and the City truly needs to do the right thing and make it less painful to be code compliant, and 2) it is evident that the Building Section has forgotten their fabled mission statement. Perhaps this level of service remains allowable because being code compliant isn't a choice. It is unfortunate that they practice striving to the lowest standard of service. Let me take the time right now to remind them of it... The mission statement of the Building Section: The City of Azusa Building Section is committed to providing the citizens of Azusa with efficient and courteous services, with the goal of improving the quality of life through the enforcement of state and local building codes.

Hoping this reaches the right people in the department but I recommend for future ride alongs, you don't appoint him as one of the officers to lead or take interns on ride alongs. Texting and having flirtatious phone calls after hours is wrong on so many levels, and to be actively flirting during the ride alongs is even worse. Knowing the intern is in a relationship and still pushing your chances is really disrespectful.

A great opportunity to learn about the history of Covina! You can visit their Jailhouse on Sundays…read morefrom 1-3pm. They use this specific house for their board meetings and a few other things. The information below is from their website that I just 'cut & pasted': The little town of Covina was founded in 1886 by Joseph Swift Phillips. A land speculator, Phillips purchased 2,000 acres of land from John Hollenbeck . The area was located just south of the San Gabriel Mountains within the La Puente Rancho. Phillips immediately surveyed the land into 10 acre parcels and planned to sell each parcel for only $650.00. He enticed a couple of newspapermen to settle in town to help advertise and promote land sales. One investor was Daniel Houser from Stockton, California. He brought five sons, and, using money from the sale of his invention of the Combined Harvester, eventually brought water to the town. Water enticed more people to settle on the fertile land. Businesses sprouted up along Citrus Avenue and Covina was incorporated in 1901. At one time, it served as the agricultural hub of the San Gabriel Valley, producing and shipping more oranges than anywhere else on earth. The Covina Valley Historical Society was organized in 1969 to preserve and promote the history of our community. We own and operate two distinctly unique historic venues; The Firehouse Jail Museum and the Heritage House. The Firehouse Jail Museum, erected in 1911, is located directly behind City Hall just east of Citrus Avenue. This exciting museum contains one of the most complete collections of orange industry documents and artifacts in southern California. Hundreds of school children visit this unusual museum each year. We are open every Sunday (excluding holidays) from 1pm-3pm. Admission is free. The Heritage House is located adjacent to Covina Park at 300 N Valencia Avenue. The 1908 craftsman-style home is completely furnished with period-accurate treasures and it offers a unique glimpse of early 1900's life. It is opened by appointment only by calling (626) 966-9871.

This post provides some very valuable information and I'll keep it in my archive.
