Dear Editor,

I just celebrated my 10th Fourth of July in Gilroy with my family, friends and neighbors. My first Independence Day in Gilroy was a little different. At that time, my three children were babies who were both fascinated and terrified by the fireworks display at Gilroy High School. Now they are more intent on arguing over who gets first use of the lighter to set off the fireworks in front of our driveway.

Welcome to beautiful downtown Gilroy? That's not the warm fuzzy feeling you get if you park in the private section of the Fifth Street parking lot. If you are unable to park there because the owners have it chained off (not the welcome mat we recommend), you might save a bundle of money.
