The previous owner retired. The station is completing improvements and could open by the end of May. No exact date is available.
The abandoned Foothill Boulevard 76 Station is set to reopen, possibly this month, according to La Canada Flintridge city officials. The owner retired, leaving the 76 Station at 2384 Foothill Blvd. in La Canada Flintridge, La Canada Flintridge City Manager Mark Alexander told Patch. "I don't want to speculate as to the reasons why the 76 station closed but I do know that the previous owner retired," Alexander said. "The new station operator is hoping to reopen the station this month and is nearing completion of their improvements." However, Alexander does not know the target grand opening date. While the station remains closed, locals are turning to other locations for gas, including Valero, Foothill 76, Shell and Chevron.

The fast food chain has been ordered to pay damages to girl who went into a coma after eating a Twister chicken wrap.
A judge in Australia recently ordered KFC to pay $8.3 million to the family of a girl in Sydney whose brain was damaged after she ate one of the fast food giant’s chicken wraps in 2005 and evidently contracted salmonella. The girl, then aged seven years, went into a coma for months. Although KFC has described the case of food poisoning as “very tragic," it has denied any wrongdoing and has said it would appeal the decision. Click here to read more about the case.

Does Montrose really need another jewelry store? My question is, is how do stores like this stay a float during these down times?. I guess if you sell one 50,000 diamond ring you might be able to survive 6 months or so? Don't quite know the mark up on that type of stuff? more ›
