City Of American Canyon Online Community Forums

This is a new thread to POST GOOD NEWS in AC or Surrounding areas - we all hear enough Bad News brought to us from every corner of the world to our living room, so this is for GOOD NEWS- Kind of like my friend Mark Victor Hansen who wrote the Chicken Soup for the Soul series, this will be chicken s...

Back in 1986, this was arguably a different community with different needs. If you look at the needs of 5000 or so folks living in town, and 20K , its a much different looking city with a different make up demographically. My call on it is that there are some ordinances that would have worked fine a...

well, we all have those- I take vitamin B-1 when I am stressed, about 200mgs, helps ALOT! I didnt even take it as a shot- anyway, cool.

Dear "guest"- I dont work at the card room, it is professionally managed. It is doing very well, thank you. The staff are doing an excellent job, and the advertising in the Napa Solano Post has been a big boom for business. Additionally, poker is hotter than ever, with the advent of the Wo...

I have to agree with u on the substation- what a terrible location. We both would agree that an electrical substation on the main corner of town, and a maintenance yard right on the waters edge are poor choices , I would say, very poor choices to locate these facilities. These were located there som...

Suggest you try the NAPA SOLANO post, and just do a very small display ad: Suggested Headlines: What are your nieghbors saying in american canyon find out at http://www.americancanyon.com its free! or Exposed: American Canyon Residents Speak Out find out what they are saying when they say it http://...

You mentioned See the Neighborhood Preservation Ordinance! WHere is this located at? ONline or at the city? THanks Paul

This is list intended to make other aware of the eyesores in AC- perhaps as a community, we can all work to point out these eyesores, and work together to get some improvement. I am all for creating a fund that can be tapped by residents who may need help with house painting, yard clean up, and oth...

Thats an easy one. Put the cars in the garage or on the curb, and put the portable basketball hoop in front on the garage, or too the side so the kids are in the driveway shooting, not in the street, as most of them are set up. As an alternative, put the hoop base at the end of hte driveway near the...

The beauty of the delay is that with all the new rooftops going in here in AC, interest in commercial space will continue to improve. By the time this gets out of court, there may be some alternative tenants that will take the site. Currently, the developer says his only tenant is Wal Mart- it proba...

Rules, regulations, ordinances- a PIA- sometimes, yes- But often for the greater good. Do you give up some freedoms to live in a community- absolutely. For the greater good of everyone who lives there. I have no objection to kids playing hoops- who would, I love hoops. But can our city officials act...

Another recent article on this issue Citing safety concerns, communities in Kentucky, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon and Pennsylvania have banned the placement of portable hoops in or around streets. Others are shooting to do the same. No one, it seems, is against a friendly game of two-...

“It’s always been an issue of safety,” said Sgt. Terry Whitfield of Novi, which passed its ban in 1978 and handles complaints with warnings, not citations. “You don’t want kids playing in the street. I don’t care how careful they are, a car can come.” The trend to prohibit childs’ play in the street...

Well, not here, not yet. Recently, I informed the Council of the growing issue of portable basketball courts. Most of these courts are blocking public right of ways, like sidewalks, and city streets. It is not at all safe to have children with their attention on a basketball game playing in the str...

I treated patients for years as a chiropractor, so based on that, I offer you the following: I went to see Dr Villa as a new patient, as a walk in in fact, and she was at the front desk. She was hardly pleasant...I felt unwelcomed, and she was short and a bit abrasive. I suspect unless her attitude ...

As for Lori advertising in Cindy's paper, smart choice! Cindy's paper is a great place to advertise. We have been advertising now for several months, and have definately seen an impact from the ads. I tried advertising in other papers, some were even cheaper, but I did not see the results. I can hon...
