• And they say Mexicans can't assimilate...

  Spotted for sale last night in one of those SanTana produce trucks the city's pocho City Council so hates was a Kellogg's Corn Flakes box with pictures of salsa legend Celia Cruz and Chicano labor icon Cesar Chavez. We figured it was pirateria, something as authentic as sidewalk CDs or swap meet Bart Simpson T-shirts, until we stumble across this website. Where the hell were we in September that we just found out about this? Stanton? What's even better is that the produce truck selling the Chave

• Lies, Damned Lies and Stanton

  Orange County's favorite pastime besides bashing Mexicans is bashing Stanton, and there was a doozy of a wallop in yesterday's LA Times story on Bill Hunt's demotion. To quoth San Clemente councilmember Wayne Eggleston: I wouldn't want to stop in Stanton, much less patrol it That's the same we feel about Aliso Viejo. The quote was ugly enough for gentlemanly Jubal over at OC Blog to call out Eggleston on his civic bigotry. Eggleston responded with an apology and claimed Times reporter Garrett

• Eggleston to LA Times: Sorry for Lying 'Bout You

  A couple of weeks ago, this infernal blog reported on G. Wayne Eggleston, the San Clemente councilmember who memorably told Los Angeles Times reporter Garrett Therolf, "I wouldn't want to stop in Stanton, much less patrol it," claimed he was misquoted and then told OCBlog readers to "not co-operate with LA Times readers as they are not trustworthy." We forgave the double-negative, but not the charge, especially after Therolf stood by his notes. Now Therolf tells us Eggleston has dropped the mis

• Your Friendly Neighborhood Arsonists

  Wondering about that sorta creepy neighbor who’s still talking about last summer’s SoCal wildfires? The guy who barbecues outdoors a whole lot more than seems normal? Pretty soon, you should be able to go online and see if he’s among the arsonists registered with Orange County police departments. According to the Department of Justice’s Sex Offender Tracking Program, which also keeps tabs on your everyday pyromaniacs, there are currently 119 in the OC. Leader of the pack? Santa Ana

• Kyochon Chicken Opens in Stanton

  Of all the trendy foods to hit L.A. recently, nothing has intrigued me more than Kyochon Chicken, fried chicken as done by Koreans. Jonathan Gold's Pulitzer-prize winning taste-buds swears by it ("Current fried chicken mecca", he writes), while food bloggers, Chowhounds, and Yelpers alike have gone ga-ga, typing out countless testimonials of its greatness. The buzz has been so loud that it's even spurred the predictable backlash, a signal that the hype has run its course, at least in L.A. So

• Fair Housing Council Caught Stanton City Manager Off Guard

  Jake Wager picked up the daily newspaper that Aug. 16 Saturday morning and could not believe what he read. The owners of the Plaza Court Apartments in Stanton agreed to dish out $618,000 to settle a fair housing lawsuit with the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH), the Fair Housing Council of Orange County and nine families who reside at Plaza Court Apartments. This was disconcerting to Wager, seeing as how he's Stanton's city manager.

  Congressman Ed Royce​Cranks who wouldn't know true socialism from extreme botulism get to take some swings at Rep. Ed Royce (R-Fullerton) beginning this afternoon. Royce holds a 1 p.m. town hall in the Buena Park Senior Activity Center, 8150 Knott Ave. (just south of La Palma), Buena Park.
