San Leandro has some wonderful holiday traditions. Some, like the Christmas tree lighting downtown, were sponsored by the city and have pretty much disappeared in this age of budget cuts. Others, sponsored by private businesses, are alive and well. My favorite is Safe Streets Safe Tricks Halloween, organized by the merchants on the Bancroft/Dutton area.

Every merchant gives the kids candy, but Dutton Ace Hardware goes the “extra mile”: [Continue Reading]

Congratulations and Thank You to Rob Rich for winning this auction! Roosevelt Elementary is several hundreds of dollars richer, and after Sue of Level 5 Salon did her magic, Mike looks younger and thinner than ever. Thank you Sue! Come on, admit it! You aren’t entirely happy with how the San Leandro School Board is doing. In particular Mike Katz-Lacabe (aka “my husband’) should be doing a much better job! Maybe you are a teacher and angry at him because he stuffed your classroom with kids, maybe you teach PE and resent that the Board cut your hours next year, [Continue Reading]
