With its approach to building color and design, Gilroy is moving in the wrong direction and is losing ground to establish and market itself as an attractive suburb in which to live.

When the local high school students started coming to Elizabeth Munoz-Rosas with questions about the college application process, the children’s services librarian at Gilroy Library recognized a need in the Gilroy community.

SANTA CLARA—The 49ers' struggles continued Sunday as they fell 17-3 to the undefeated Green Bay Packers at Levi’s Stadium.

 

I turned 18 without knowing how to ride a bike. It was 1997, and I remember spending that summer at a public park swallowing my pride as an uncle pushed me around on a bike until I could ride it on my own.

A plaque that states “All of God’s grace, in one tiny face” is on the wall of 11-month-old Wyatt Castalano’s nursery, a testament to the love his parents, Gilroy residents Shannon and Steven Catalano, feel for their son. On the day he was born, Oct. 31, 2014, they knew he was special, as all parents feel about their children. But the Catalanos knew immediately that their baby was special in a different way.

Hi, I am calling about the vacant lot between Alexander Street and the railroad tracks on 10th Street. The same lot that once was occupied by Nob Hill Foods and Indian Motorcycles. I realize that a growing number of homeless have relocated to Gilroy in desperate need of assistance. But, what I don’t understand is why these citizens have been allowed to destroy the property by cutting through a chain link fence on a main thoroughfare giving them full access to the property for the construction of a tent city made out of cardboard. Each day it grows bigger and bigger and nothing has been done to stop it. How is it that a city that opposes the use of flags and banners for small businesses think that this is okay? Thank you.
