Guest Column: Growth doesn’t mean sprawl
When I came to Gilroy in 1980, the Gilroy Dispatch was filled with letters about rampant growth. The development at the time was the Northwest Quadrant. The claims were that Gilroy was sprawling, we were becoming another San Jose and we were losing our small town charm.
Our 2021 Holiday Poem
'Twas the night before Christmas in Olde Gilroy
Santa pulled his mask tight and loaded another toy.
Even the reindeer had gotten booster shots,
Ignoring the theories of anti-science crackpots.
The VTA had added a bus from San Jose,
Santa nonetheless opted for his electric sleigh,
Pre-pandemic style traffic jams...
