Hi, Everyone: I just wanted to note, in case you hadn't noticed, that the CHP has been very busy on our street today. In the last hour in front of our house alone at least two cars have been pulled…Continue

CHP on Greenridge Road

Hi, Everyone: I just wanted to note, in case you hadn't noticed, that the CHP has been very busy on our street today. In the last hour in front of our house alone at least two cars have been pulled over for speeding. Makes me happy, for sure, as our street is constantly plagued not only by speeding vehicles but also other, more blatant, forms of reckless and dangerous driving. Nice to know that the "Speed Checked By Radar" signs are not completely false. Has there been any lobbying or other…See More

Castro Valley Boulevard Streetscape Improvement--Public Art

Hi, All: Over the past several months I've had the opportunity to participate on an artist selection committee as part of the Castro Valley Boulevard Streetscape Improvement Project. Perhaps you had the chance to view various artist's proposals at the library a few months back, or read the article in the Forum more recently. I've attached a link to a video about the entire process and the selected artist, Miriam Stahl. The…See More

Metal Detector Needed

Hello, Everyone: I hope you're staying warm and dry. Looks like rain will be visited upon us through the next week! The cold weather has contributed to a regrettable incident: while in our garden, my wedding band flew off my hand (everything shrinks in the cold, right?!), hit the pavement, and rolled into a planting area. What makes this so difficult is 1) I had sawdust in my eyes, so I couldn't see where it went; 2) I was wearing a thick hat which covered my ears, so I couldn't hear where it…See More
