Hard Day’s Night for Gilroy Firefighters
It was already a long week. Working a 96-hour shift as a firefighter in extreme heat, away from home, away from family, can be draining. But when the bell rings, tired or not, members of the Gilroy Fire Department are on the job.
Story behind Gilroy’s biggest housing complex
Gilroyans say the Alexander Station Apartments, a $95 million project on the corner of 10th Street and Alexander, will be filled with residents bused in from Oakland and will lower the quality of the neighborhood. They say there aren’t enough classrooms for the kids and the future students will be bused to far away schools, rather than those they can walk to.
