Since The Plantation is a local coffee shop (located just across the street) which is owned by aRead More extremely nice family it would be nice to see it patronized! Thanks so much.

Hi Sue....Yes, Plantation is a wonderful spot, and I'm a regular customer :) Just so happened thatRead More on Friday we ended up at Peet's (and I ended up with a parking ticket!)

Who's picking up the tab for this?

Pearl, what the heck does that mean? The organization is putting it on and they are providing allRead More resources and activities. They are choosing to have this celebration and it's free.

Not an alum, but have many friends that are...and they so often and very fondly speak about SC High.Read More Nice to read more about the history and see the loyalty! So many have been looking for the cool red "Dons" T-Shirts...I saw the link earlier, but now can't find it? Anyone know where to get them?!? I saw Jennifer Granholm at Hometown Days 2012 and she had one of the shirts....super cool and my friends would love one. Anyone know how to get?!?
Kimberly Cross June 18, 2013 at 01:59 pm
@Joanie, Julie; thanks for the thoughts; I'm sure dad will be pleased to hear he is fondlyRead More remembered. I'll pass them on!

Due to technical difficulties, the editor has posted the following comment on behalf of blog authorRead More Joe Brennan: From Joe Brennan: "Thank you, Alicia. These hesitation markers can serve a useful function for the speaker, but if they are so excessive (interjected at every pause of the speaker), they can distract the listener and interrupt his or her attention to the speaker's words. So, it seems that like so many things, there is a gray area where there are no clear answers. You make your choice and take your chances, but some semblance of balance seems necessary to convey the effective exchange of information." Joe Brennan

Joe, Agreed, 100%!! However, they exist for the reasons discussed. Even our own president had aRead More problem with this when first in office, and has improved greatly!
Joe Brennan June 16, 2013 at 04:23 pm
Alicia, The President certainly has improved, and despite his occasional grammatical gaffes, he isRead More one of the finest orators of this century, especially delivering TelePrompTer speeches.

You actually consider skipping Maker Faire because it conflicts with Home Town Days.

Going to the SC Bowling Alley with my grandmother and her dog Smokey who sat with me when we watchedRead More her bowl. Those were great memories.

This is really beautiful!! Well done!

The four women who painted this mural are Kristin Henige, Emily Mockett, Bynn Esmond, and LisaRead More Miller:)
It's Even Worse: These drawings are not drawn to scale and were intentionally reduced in height to underestimate the impact of the buildings, as if this is not bad enough!

It seems so unfair how unelected bureaucrats are padding their pensions at the expense of SanRead More Carlos. I read that the SamTrans CEO makes $400,000 each and every year, which is 59% higher than the median salary for CEO's of the states other 23 largest transit operators. This is the same guy who dreamt up this fiasco, which will in time become a canker sore on the City.

Can't wait to try it. The menu looks fantastic!
Brenda June 4, 2013 at 11:11 am
The service was a little spotty, but the food was good. I've eaten Burmese food previously and IRead More actually thought that the flavors were a little weak. I thought they could spice it up a little more. However, the Tea Leaf Salad was wonderful!!!
Brenda June 4, 2013 at 11:12 am
Oh, I wanted to add that the redesign they did on the inside is beautiful! I remember when this spotRead More was Sai's and it has come a long way!

It's time for the city to start thinking about the citizens that already live and vote in San CarlosRead More before worrying about housing for those not here yet. To approve a project that will hurt current residents property values is disturbing. We don't need any more 1001 ElCamino type buildings in our community.
Ben Fuller May 28, 2013 at 11:57 pm
RM: Very well put. It's pretty amazing, actually. We have been fighting this development for manyRead More years but there is a huge push to dump all future housing in San Carlos in our neighborhood. The deal is so raw for us that we haven't been promised anything in exchange for the massive impacts. No additional park land. No guarantees that they won't try to rezone our houses with apartments down the road. No acknowledgment of the values of our views of the Pulgas Ridge or the noise that this project will create (I am not kidding, the City of San Carlos rigged the EIR to say that this project would have no significant adverse impacts when it's 55-foot buildings across from 12 foot homes). It is a total scam and we'll do everything in our power to improve this deal, but the die is cast that they are trying very hard to put all of the future impact of this City on a tiny 65-year old neighborhood with beautiful homes on 5,000 square foot lots.

Don't let it happen. I highly doubt the normal recourse will be effective. Be creative.

No what we need to treasure is our freedom to choose what we eat! Not what others think we shouldRead More eat.

I don't really know why they don't treasure cows. Aren't lions and cows both mammals? Only one eatsRead More grass and one eats meat. Lions are beautiful. My husband thinks that cows are more beautiful.
