‘They killed me the day she died’
Though she cannot be replaced, in her 14 years on this planet Tara Romero tied together the countless hearts she touched with her steadfast enthusiasm for life, a bright smile that never faded and a loyalty that never wavered.
Red Phone: Why stamp the sidewalk?
“We had a contractor do removal and replacement work on Camino Arroyo. The contractor was EF&S Concrete. Those guys put a stamp on every four-foot piece of their sidewalk repairs throughout the whole strip from the Outlets out to the county facility by Kaiser Permanente. Was that really necessary to put a stamp on every darn piece of concrete for the whole strip? Why did they do that to our streets? It looks more like vandalism than anything. Don’t let them do that to our streets in Gilroy. It looks awful.”
