Further...(let it go, let it go) The day after the July 11 mission fire, Corey attempted to set a fire at Carl’s Shoe Repair on West Las Tunas Drive in San Gabriel, according to court records.

When San Gabriel police detectives arrested him the following day, they found an incendiary device on him, said a source with knowledge of the investigation who was not authorized to speak publicly on the matter. Court documents listed Corey as a transient who would be unable to pay any fines.

I did not know about Carl's, which was my shoe and leather repair shop.

Oh and add this... On May 5, 2021 John David Corey, age 57, was charged with felony counts of arson and burglary for setting the fire. Traveller

No, it is going to be fine...adobe walls do not burn well, but the roof and much of the interior wood is gone....when we left the farm for CA this is where I played as a kid, of course it is different now...but running up the exterior steps built in 1771...the steps worn into grooves from centuries of use....I always remember this.

Have they started the restoration of the church yet? Or is it too far gone to rebuild and restore. Paul

I wish I had something happier....at least here, a concrete underpass of the 101/Hollywood Freeway, they at least cant start any arson fires.

I have a fairly jaundiced eye towards the homeless...and arsonists. (one burned down my beloved San Gabriel Mission last year).

I know I should be better about this, (no mental health here in CA since Gov Regan cut the heart of all MH programs)

Actually all of this is very distressing to me...being compassionate but also fairly Pi*sed off about all this.

Ugh, and there are many that say the homeless don’t cause any problems and leave them be. Right! Paul
