Red Phone: Bridge construction ends

"I would love to find out about what is going on on Center Road. It has been closed between Masten and Church streets for at least five months and maybe more. They were reconstructing a small bridge overpass. I would like to know how much longer they expect it to be closed. It is a true inconvenience when you live on Center Road and you are trying to get to Church Avenue. It is a very small bridge, and I don't know why it was necessary to have it done in the first place. Seems like a waste of money."

5,000 pounds of Gilroy Garlic Mac and Cheese and firefighter greed

A concert last weekend called Outside Lands in Golden Gate Park and a restaurant in Oakland called “Homeroom” lead us, of course, to our Great Gilroy Garlic Festival. “Homeroom” Co-owners Allison Arevalo and Erin Wade run a mac-and-cheese restaurant that serves up creamy goodness that is, by all accounts, “to die for.” At Outside Lands, which daughter Mariah attended, they served up 5,000 pounds of Gilroy Garlic Mac and Cheese in two and a half days, according to a story in the Contra Costa Times. Note to incoming G-Fest volunteer President Vito Mercado: Road trip to “Homeroom” is in order, meet Allison and Erin and get them to the festival. I’m thinking a booth for the Gilroy Garlic Mac and Cheese (near a microwbrew beer station) a guest appearance on the Cook-off Stage. Who wouldn’t want to take in a few mac-and-cheese recipe variations – and the recipes in their new cookbook “The Mac + Cheese Cookbook: 50 Simple Recipes from Homeroom, America’s Favorite Mac and Cheese Restaurant” are in the form of teacher lesson plans. That’s cool.
