Don’t get the wrong impression. LaVerneOnline loves people, but it really loves dogs. I own a few myself. That’s why last week we featured Edward Mac, culinary chef for dogs through his company Culinary Canine Creations (http://www.laverneonline.com/2010/02/05/la-verne-entrepreneur-wont-roll-over-when-it-comes-to-his-culinary-canine-creations/)

On a gorgeous, sun-kissed Thursday morning in La Verne, Mayor Don Kendrick delivered his first State of the City address.

Nary a storm cloud was in sight, but the Mayor was elected in [...]
Michael Noble, owner of Assembly Solutions in La Verne, belongs in the Guinness Book of Records. Once for J.C. Penney, he methodically and masterfully assembled more than 300 chairs in a single day, loving every minute of his work. It seems one man’s monotony is another’s motivation.
“At $1.50 a chair, personally, that was pretty good [...]
