I walked to Safeway to by some lunch stuff earlier today. I saw a sign that says Coldstone 'No longer in business". I also see the small phone place by Starbucks is closed, as well.

Any one have a heads up??

Small town living in a family-oriented locale seem to be the common ground. Amenities, services and restaurants in close proximity to one's domicile is next. I have the luxury of working from home-priceless. But believe me, did "my time" on Hwy 80! The next thing we all desire are shopping...

I moved to American Canyon about 17 years ago. My wife and I were in our mid-20s and we had a daughter and a son on the way. I liked the open space and our close proximity to Kimberly Park. Our neighbors were all very welcoming and friendly. I would drive 140 roundtrip daily to Foster City. Many of ...

1) You seem to forget Lori resigned over residency issues. Nothing at all to do with Cindy or their relationship. 2) Everyone but Luporini is getting blamed for her deception. 3) The last election was the a refelction of who the citizens felt could lead them. You are somewhat correct about everyone ...

You were totally off base with your last posting. No one forced anyone to sign anything. As Lorraine said "No one ever asked me if Lori lived with me. She does not. I will not lie for her" Do you NOT know the meaning of truth vs. spin? You spin things very well..Try the truth once in a whi...

The Parks and Community Services Commission had a full agenda past Thursday. -recommended $404,000 worth of repairs to rehabiliate Community Park 1. -Directed city staff to investigate funding from US Tennis Association for grant money to repair the Tennis Courts in town. -rejected the proposed 'fix...

It's good to see you continue with your uplifting, positive commentary on the good things coming out of American Canyon. (especially in the holiday season).

The age group (or gap) was determined by the volunteer board members. We felt it adequately addressed a few issues: -providing services for teens -developing leadership skills -keeping young adults (of college age) involved in the community The premise was also based on having the teens identify THE...

There have been some good dialogue on this forum. There is an opportunity to put all that energy to work for the betterment of American Canyon.

MCB- Joan DID NOT ask for a recount, I know. I helped her with her campaign. We discussed that option via telephone and decided it would not be prudent, but rather, more disruptive. Anyhoo..You seem to be stuck on the Luporini thing. Ms. Luporini resigned from her position, AFTER the City Attorney i...

\This made the news couple days ago.

Well Said

Joan Bennett DID NOT ask for a recount. Get your facts straight. What organization are you talking about? The CITIZENS voted for the candidates you are talking about.. So I guess it's all a conspiracy, right? Please step away from the computer and the keyboard and try to do something more meaningful...

I will be glad when the election is over. The nastiness and personal attacks has gotten really ugly. I feel bad for my participation while on this forum and in other venues. Politics does bring out the best and worst in some people. The sniping last night at the council inclusing petty finger pointi...

No he wasn't the fall guy for the Three Amigos. He was a person speaking the truth and giving his opinion. Using the Chamber newsletter was wrong.

Read about his resignation in his words in the Vallejo Times Herald.

Contrary to what MCB says: The project list has already been identified and the bond has $$ and projects earmarked for each. True-the individual project must go out to bid as part of the process-but construction based on "future costs" were used in the budgeting costs were used. The likeli...

1) there is nothing to disclose. The sitting council members checked with the city attorney BEFORE they got involved with their involvement and since neither will benefit financially there is nothing to disclose. Holy Family is the largest congegation in American Canyon and quite frankly, the most a...

I do represent myself and only my opinion. I don't know how many times I have to write that.
"Sheeple" who are followers think "in-step" and assume individual thinkers, can't or shouldn't do so.

As I indicated-if you want Mr. Garcia's position or opinion-contact him directly.

VicRiv

First I want to thank the Post for the three free lucnhes I won in bets that an issue would appear and would be written by "staff" and be riddled with half-truths. 1) All candidates were NOT contacted for Free advertising. 2) $1.2 Million was secured and negotiated by Mark Joseph. 3) Coffe...

Paul Maguire has a new recording going out indicating that the "three amigos'" want to get into office so they can get Mark Joseph back into office. Mr. Joseph has no intention or interest in the position. How do I know?? I picked up the phone and asked him. He's doing well with his consul...

From watching the council meetings the position of Mayor is simply going to be an elected position-but the powers pretty much stay the same. The Mayor, since elected by the citizens can give HIS/HER own opinions opposed to "the councils' views"-as it has been. So there isn't anything nefar...

VicRiv

MCB- using the "scare tactics" and insinuating a 'Rogue Council" is irresponsible. You forgot to emphasize the following parts of the article: "What we have in common is we're willing to work together in a positive manner and work in the best interest of the city," Callison ...

MCB- If you want Mr. Garcia's opinion on something-ask him his phone # is on his election material. I know he supports Measure G because he's helped in the phone banks and has had Measure G at almost all his meet/greets. So I don't know what you are asking?? when I write as VIC RIV -it's ME giving M...

The High School Bond in November IS more important than ANY candidate during this election. Mr. West said it perfectly, and I have been borrowing his phrase "the single most important decision the Citizens of American Canyon have to vote on since incorporation". Yesterday, I attended an es...

from MCBiz I have a better suggestion. Why doesn't Leon Garcia who stated he was going to have a high school built during his term as city council member come up with a solution for paying for this high school without borrowing money on my tax dollars A videotape was played, on the record at the Nov...

Anyone know who she is or how to reach her?

I can't locate her and no one with that name owns a home in AmCan or Napa County. Help?!

I believe it is wrong to continue to blame our former city manager for some of these problems-he's been gone since January. 1) Cindy and Lori railroaded Barry Comraderie in as Planning Director AGAINST the recommendation of then City manager, Mark Joseph. There was another candidate who's qalificati...

ALL politicians should be adressing the School issue. So let's examine: One mayoral candidate wanted us to start our own school district with portables. No consideration for land and expense for admin offices-much less for new facilities. IF involving the entire county is an affordable solution as p...

The much-needed high school is not a LEON problem. All the candidates should be working on a)getting this bond passed or b) finding another solution.

Mel, I am not certain which "team" you are referencing. The only teams I back are the SF 49ers and the LA Dodgers. I am ONE person with ONE opinion, albeit, a strong one. Coffey repeatedly took credit as heading the group who is suing the City. So don't play semantics. And stay away from t...

The Echo reported that you sued the City over your election signs. How is that a shot? You DID sue and they reported it. The last issue (we saw) of the Post was all for you..that was ok for your "random" endorsements. Can you say "self-serving" (then) editor-in-chief. Your attitu...

Brown Act doesn't apply. Ed West isn't on any City Commission, Group or Council at this time.

Ad far as "WE" is concerned-Paulette you seemed to have no problem when the two females on the council were joined at the hip.

Kerana was hired before the election because of her investigative background. That element was lacking from the Eagle. She decided, with the editor's approval, to investigate the backgrounds of the candidates. It wasn't meant to hurt anyone-but to inform. If they decide to 'investigate' all the cand...

You can have as many signs as you want in your yard-as long as they don't exceed 64 sq feet.( the total of two 4x8 monster signs) These are the huge ones the size of a sheet of plywood. So technically, you can have 4 smaller signs-if the dimensions don't exceed 2x4 or the 64 sq ft total. So the resi...

The Municipal code regarding signs can be found at: http://qcode.us/codes/americancanyon/ The council agreed no signs on public right of ways.
