We take a look at the stories that are coming to the web and in
the paper. This week: previews of the 30th annual Gilroy Garlic
Festival and keeping tabs on the fight against a burgeoning
graffiti problem.
1. What’s that smell? It’s garlic!
We ramp up for coverage of the biggest event in Gilroy: the annual Gilroy Garlic Festival. In addition to a special guide in honor of the 30th anniversary, we will preview the battle of the bands, the food competitions and the early arrivals, complete with video coverage.
Also, don’t forget to check back in on our weather forecast to see whether this festival will be as hot as the food.
2. Graffiti explosion
It’s not just kids anymore. Police are arresting adults caught in the act of tagging around Gilroy.
Police Chief Denise Turner has brought up the idea of using cameras around Gilroy to deter the vandalism. But this begs the question: what is the cost of eradicating graffiti?
