Occupy Los Angeles Protestors Being Vacated Today Hours Away
The OccupyLA movement is about to take a turn, we don’t know the outcome of the vacating orders, and wether protestors will go without incident. With 55 days of the occupation of the lawn at Los Angeles City Hall, city officials want to re-claim the park space back and restore it back to what it was before the occupy movement took it over and the city did nothing to interfere. Now the city is about to interfere.
The Occupy movement will move but there is no confirmation on where it will be moving.

If you have a LEAF or Volt there are several locations.
You will be pleased to learn that there are at least four locations where you can charge. I have listed them in order of use and cost, first one is CalStart where you can charge for FREE. The only one in Pasadena that currently does not charge. Thank you CalStart.

At the CalSTART on Chester, you have to drive behind the building and will find two Blinks and two Clipper Creek chargers. As well as a paddle charger and 120v outlets.
It appears that they are get used, but that the Blink and Clipper Creeks at least on a Saturday night nobody was using them.
To use the Clipper Creek, just open your port and plug in, and it starts to work, no charge, at least for now.
To use the Blink, apparently you need a card. But it appears to work.

Last night around 3am I could hear the screeching tires of what sounded like a truck or car, but this went on for at least 10-15 minutes. It sounded like it was less than a mile away. But this hasn’t been the first time I’ve heard this.
Drivers in Pasadena need to slow down and the police need to be more vigilant about stopping this sort of nonsense behavior from drivers.
It was most likely someone who had too much to drink and thought they would show off their “skills”.
