I’m a lifelong resident of Alhambra and having a local newspaper, like Alhambra Source, is very important to me. It’s the only way to know the issues that will directly affect my day to day, where I live. That’s why I decided to support Alhambra Source with a monthly donation.

Efren Moreno, Former Alhambra Mayor

Thank you Alhambra Source for truly informing the residents of Alhambra.

Jeff Maloney, Alhambra City Council Member

The Source has become an important source for news, public interest, and serious journalism in our community. Keep it up!

I support Alhambra Source as often as I can because I believe a free and independent press is vital to the democratic process. No other news outlet with high journalistic standards consistently covers the stories and issues that matter to our community.

The San Gabriel Valley came out for Alhambra’s Lunar New Year celebration on Feb. 9. Spanning five blocks on Valley Boulevard, revelers were treated to skewers, jianbing and other yummy fried foods, a petting zoo and drum, kung fu and other traditional performances. Many brought their families and their dogs, decked out in their Lunar New Year finery. Check out our slideshow for more.
