ALTADENA, CA According to a report from the Pasadena Star News, the gravestone of an abolitionist buried in Altadena will soon be reinstalled.
The marker for the grave of Owen Brown was originally lost in 2002 after a previous owner of the land containing the gravesite rolled it down a hill, the paper reported. The marker resurfaced 10 years later after a resident came across it while walking in the area.

LA City Council Delays Vote to Designate Taix Restaurant as an Historic Monument
Share this story
The struggle over the future of Taix Echo Park’s enduring old-school French restaurant and bar reached a new stage this week. On Wednesday, the Los Angeles City Council’s delayed a vote to add the restaurant to the city’s historic-cultural monuments program. What’s at stake is the demolishment of the nearly 60-year-old building and replacing it with a brand new retail and residential structure.
The Eastsider reports that Taix’s landmark nomination was recently modified to preserve two outdoor signs and the interior’s wooden bar top. That doesn’t include the actual building, which owner Mike Taix sold to a developer three years ago. The former owner does not want the landmark status. It’s unclear what councilmember Mitch O’Farrell hopes to accomplish by delaying the vote until June 2.
