Monrovia Chamber Of Commerce Helping Restaurants During Pandemic Syndicated Local – CBS Los Angeles
MONROVIA (CBSLA) – A local Chamber of Commerce has come up with a unique way to help keep restaurants afloat during the pandemic.
The Monrovia Chamber of Commerce is offering a program giving a $10-off coupon for all take-out orders that are $30 or above at restaurants. Other businesses that are doing well sponsor the program and reimburse the restaurants the $10 so that they can get more business.
“We’ll be busy for about two or three days in a row and then it will be a ghost town all day,” said Michael Lipsky Friday, owner of The Monrovian, a pizza shop on Myrtle Avenue in Old Town.

To the editor: I am all for clean air. I have installed solar panels and drive an electric car, but the thought of depending on Southern California Edison or the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power to provide constant service would be laughable if it weren’t so risky. (“Should California ban gas in new homes? A climate battle heats up,” Dec. 7)
Unfortunately, gas furnaces and water heaters depend on electricity to start, but at least with a gas stove, foods melting in the freezer during a power outage can be cooked.
Before all-electric homes proliferate in California, it is imperative that the major electric utilities get their acts together so we don’t find ourselves sitting in the dark or as was the case with my friend in Cleveland sitting laden with blankets in front of a gas fireplace in the dark for five days after a storm knocks out our electricity.
