Maybe it is a coincidence but it sure seems like a lot is going in the right direction lately in Altadena for people who want a more robust local business community.

The evidence:

• A is in the works near the intersection of New York and Allen.
• An could be opened at the northeast corner of Altadena and Washington.
• A wood-fired pizza cafe and bar that is planned to eventually open at the former site of the Gallery at the End of the World may still be a ways off, but has at least advanced to the point where it has a Facebook page under the name 'Bar Altadena.'
• A at the intersection of Lincoln and Figueroa, though so far, the company operating it has not come forward to identify itself.
• The Altadena Farmers Market is set to start up May 30 with a and .
• The half-built vacant commercial lot at Lincoln and Altadena has .

We're curious to know what you think: are these positive developments for Altadena?  Is this enough change or just a good start for more changes down the road?  Or would you prefer to the community to stay the way it is?
