City of Paramount

How in the hell did paramount get 3 star? It’s ghetto I live in Downey and didn’t want to buy a house right next to border line paramount…

After quickly going through the quarterly «Paramount Around Town» residents magazine a few days ago, I was pleased to read about plans to revitalize the corner of Alondra and Paramount with new businesses and «fast-​casual’ and a sit-​down restaurant. It mentioned Applebee’s, The Habit, Waba Grill, and a «fast-​casual» chain that will border an outdoor dining patio. Now I understand why The Rosewood Restaurant was dark and looking like it is ready for demolition, that corner is most likely where this new Restaurant Plaza will be built.
Another area with a new outdoor dining area will be in the redesigned Town Center West, the shopping area anchored by Northgate Market and other retail shops. These buildings will all be getting facelifts in the near future. They will welcome Yogurtland and Auto Zone.
The magazine also mentions the Paramount Farmer’s Market that is open on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Bianchi Theater parking lot at 14 409 Paramount Blvd, south of Rosecrans Ave. Go early and get your organic and regular fruits and vegetables direct from the farmers. You can also buy prepared and packaged goods like dried fruits, baked items, peanuts and honey.
Food Truck Friday is yet another new summer event that has been going on at Paramount Park from 4 to 8 p.m., but the last one is tomorrow, Friday, August 14^th. 10% of the sales are donated to the Paramount Education Partnership.
Other plans are in motion to beautify the area around City Hall and all along Paramount Blvd to Alondra. I’m excited to see what the end results will look like! I’m guessing these ideas were gathered from residents, business and city leaders and many city planners, and including my emailed suggestions sent directly to the City through their website many years ago. If you have any questions, suggestions or comments about the city, contact them.
PS: They published a booklet describing their redevelopment efforts a few years ago, take a look and see what they’ve been up to and how much progress has been made.

They like to give out parking tickets. When there are no signs anywhere. They expect you to follow RULES that are none existing. Don’t even get me started on the not so friendly employees at city hall. Every Time I have gone in there for whatever reason. They like to take there sweet time to even acknowledge you are standing right in front of them and when they do, they like to give you attitude. It never fails. I used to really love my city n now I cant wait to get out :/

I’ve worked in this city for the past 3 years. it is accessible by the 105, 710 &91 fwys. Everything is literally ’15 min away’. City includes great lil restaurants that serve their guest with pride. Overall, a friendly city to live in.

Paramount: All-​American City. .Superb community and recreational activities for residents of all ages. Great schools that provide after — school enrichment opportunities for the children. There has been an influx of new retail stores and restaurants in the last few years. Santa even stops by to spread the Christmas spirit.. the City of Paramount is a great place to live..

so where do i start…
1. picky ass city counsel. not to mention confused.
we had to change our sign multiple signs because the city can’t decide what size and length the store sign should be. so they’re making use spend a total of $ 1,800. they’re not even going to help with some of the money even though they are the ones that approved the first sign and then they tell us to change it.
2. massive amounts of harassment to change our sign. it’s not like we have thousands of dollars to change and re-​change and re-​change the sign just because they are confused on what the signs should look like. they keep calling and sending notices harassing and threatening us. why can’t we keep the sign we have? the city isn’t paying our rent or for the sign. fucking assholes!!!
3. so then we ask, can we have other temporary signs or banners in place of the sign during the re-​construction of the sign, and they say no. fucking jerk offs. they approve of the business to be here but they won’t lets us advertise properly. if we have no sign, we have no business, which leads to no rent, which then in turn means one less business for the CITY OF PARAMOUNT to make money. stupid stupid ignorant city of paramount.
oh yeah, i dont know her name but watch out for the black chic that comes out inspects the building. so freakin anal and so unreasonable.
