Another new restaurant comes to Temple City. This one is Indonesian food. I peered inside the other day and it looked like it has not opened yet. It is very casual, with just a smattering of plain tables. It is located on Temple City Boulevard, kind of across the street from Beto's Grill. So Temple City Boulevard (south of Las Tunas Drive) is gaining some new commercial activity lately. (Tea Station opened a year ago at TC Boulevard and Las Tunas Drive). The city experienced a 4.0 percent gain in property value assessment in 2011, according to the Los Angeles County Assessor. Though that doesn't sound impressive, it is in the Top 10 out of 88 cities in Los Angeles County. Part of that was due to new commercial growth in the corridor and also, homes holding their value and actually, beginning to increase in value now.
