Today's riddle: How do billboards talk? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Memorial High FFA adds a cool touch to First Responders Day with snow cones. (pasadenian.com) — Pasadena Memorial High School's FFA treated Pasadena police officers to snow cones for First Responders Day, giving students and officers a relaxed chance to connect. The department publicly thanked the Mavericks for recognizing local first responders and highlighted how gestures like this strengthen everyday ties between youth, schools, and public safety in Pasadena.
2. Pasadena mayor backs police leadership as five lieutenants clarify lawsuit over assistant chief appointment (click2houston.com) — Pasadena residents are watching a growing rift at City Hall as Mayor Thomas Schoenbein publicly backs Interim Police Chief Raul Granados and his assistants while five police lieutenants clarify their lawsuit over Assistant Chief James Holt's appointment. The officers say they're only asking a court to rule on whether Holt's promotion followed Texas civil service law, not challenging police leadership, even as two council members call for top-level changes.
3. Holiday spirit arrives early with Pasadena Little Theatre's open auditions. (pasadenian.com) — Pasadena performers ages 6 to 18 have several chances this month to audition at Pasadena Little Theatre for two holiday shows, with tryouts beginning October 10 and continuing through October 13. One production will rehearse weekly and run December 4–20, while the youth-focused "Catching Santa" culminates in mandatory performances December 12–13, giving local families plenty of festive stage opportunities.
4. Friendswood offense starts quickly, rolls over Pasadena (galvnews.com) — Pasadena football fans saw a tough night as the Pasadena Eagles fell 55–13 to Friendswood at Pasadena Veterans Memorial Stadium, dropping to 2–4 overall. Despite the lopsided score, quarterback Shaun Aguirre powered the Eagles' offense with 187 rushing yards and two short touchdown runs, while Friendswood's efficient passing attack built a huge halftime lead.
