Is it really bye bye to Dinah’s Log?
Bye bye to Dinah’s Weekly Log? Please no no! This little “log” provides a sense of belonging in our small town.
It’s the place where we check out the delightful highlights of the coming week, where we’ll see our neighbors and thrive together in Los Gatos. The “calendar”? Sure, it has its place. But it’s a bit cold and one of many lists available in the Bay area.
The Los Gatan can embellish its small-town feel with the log, or simply opt for the faceless Silicon Valley calendar look. Hummmm.
Los Gatos Thrives Foundation board member
Responding to a Boy Scout’s letter about housing development concerns
I couldn’t agree more: the town is becoming a residential suburb that is crushing the very thing that was so attractive about it; and that housing developments are exploiting and trampling the town at the same time.
What if Santa Cruz tore down the boardwalk and put in seven story senior units to enjoy the town’s recreational vibe?
I’m hearing from out-of-towners that Los Gatos doesn’t have all the good places it used to (Hannegan’s, Steamers, California Café, Mountain Charlie’s).
We used to protect against cookie-cutter developments, and we were like Hill Valley in “Back to the Future.”
The building inspector left in disgust about 10 years ago for seeing what was happening—bending the knee to the State.

Mark Harville rocks
(In response to an article about the band Beggar’s Opera)
For what its worth, I knew Mark in High School.
He was talented then, and is obviously talented still.
God Bless always.
