With the warmer days, a walk at Christmas Hill Park is always welcome and standing there near where the Gilroy dog park should be, refusing to give in to being imprisoned and ignored, is the grand old Red Barn. It’s an iconic nod to the past, home to roosting pigeons, stray cats, and a symbol for government inaction. Wouldn’t it be cool if the city, the historical society and the Garlic Festival worked together on a plan to restore it? Summer movies in the barn for kids, home to the Gigantic Garlic Mercantile during the fest, composting demonstrations ... I don’t know what could go on there – children’s plays,  a revived barn dance? What I do know is that putting a chain link fence around the place and doing nothing for years, makes a whole lot of no sense.

LYTHAM ST. ANNES, England – Two days at Royal Lytham, two runs at the major championship scoring record. This time it was Brandt Snedeker, who likewise fell just short as he stormed Royal Lytham with a 6-under-par 64. But it was good enough to wrest the British Open lead from Adam Scott – and grab a piece of the tournament's 36-hole scoring mark.

"Is there anything the city can do, or is there someone we can contact regarding the dangerous turning situation drivers face when coming out of the Kohl's/Target shopping center? There are three left-hand turning lanes turning onto 10th Street off of Camino Arroyo. The lanes aren't marked well, and a car in one lane or another is always confused as to which lane is theirs when completing their turn. They drift over into the wrong lane, causing many many near collisions. I drive a big truck and am not hard to see. I try to stay in the far outside lane, but still I have been pushed over many times by a confused neighboring motorist. I've seen many drivers in the inside lane cut off the drivers in the the middle lane. It's not intentional. It's just a big intersection with three turning lanes. It's not marked well or lined up and set up well, so it does get confusing. It is scary and something must be done soon. I bet if we did a poll this has happened to just about everyone in town making that turn and on more than one occasion."
