Elba Alonso de Ortega

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 Source is a great independent newspaper that celebrates the communities and is not afraid to ask the tough questions!

Alhambra Source is the ONLY independent news source covering the events, culture and government of our city. We need it to stay informed and aware!

Location

Alhambra , CA United States

An estimated 20,000 cyclists, pedestrians, skaters, and others came out for the 626 Golden Streets Mission-to-Mission event this past Sunday. Organized by Active SGV and funded by LA Metro, this was the second 626 Golden Streets, and was designed to promote active transportation in the San Gabriel Valley. The route began at the South Pasadena Mission Street Gold Line station and went through Alhambra’s Main Street and then ended at the San Gabriel Mission. Participants played carnival games, climbed a rock wall, tested electric bikes and cruisers, and took part in other activities at the South Pasadena, Alhambra and San Gabriel event hubs.

Check out our photo slideshow and video of the event, and let your voice be heard by taking our cycling/pedestrian traffic survey. You could win an Amazon gift-card!
