THE BEAUTIFICATION OF MONTEBELLO
I'm off today so I'm back in Montebello for the day. Despite moving out to my West L.A. apartment two years ago and with plans to move to Glendale next month, I still see Montebello as home.
But my home has taken quite a beating from friends over the years. People make fun of everything from the Montebello Town Center to Beverly Bowl to the type of people who live in the city to the quality of its high schools. And sure, maybe some of the negative stuff is true. But one thing nobody will be able to make fun of any more is ... our street signs.
Yup, as part of the project to beautify Montebello, they have begun replacing all the old small blue signs that tell you what street you're on. Now, they are much bigger, fancier signs with the words: City of Montebello on top in a very fancy hand-written-looking font. And on the side is a lovely red rose.
So, come into our city, drive around, and get mesmerized by the beauty of this place!
