Author, Dave Crimmen, will speak about his book, Broadmoor Village, on Saturday, November 10 at 1 p.m. Crimmen will describe how the small north San Mateo County community of Broadmoor Village has stayed independent, while avoiding annexation from a neighboring city, suffering through budget crises and surviving natural disasters. The Stoneson Company built this subdivision during the years after World War II with the idea that returning veterans and their families would be interested in affordable housing at this location. Constructed before Henry Doelger created Westlake, Westmoor, St. Francis and other communities that were annexed to Daly City, Broadmoor’s independent residents repeatedly not only resisted annexation from Daly City, but chose to stay an unincorporated community as well. Crimmen grew up in Broadmoor, living there for 30 years. This program is free to the public with the price of admission to the Museum. This presentation is part of the Museum’s monthly Courthouse Docket program and is sponsored by the Cypress Lawn Heritage Foundation.

Pamela, are you following a conversation that's taking place on Patch?

Thank you for posting this. As a teacher who represents 500 teachers, we routinely pay out of our…Read More own pockets to support our students.

Jennifer, thank you for all your wonderful work on Patch. Life is a journey and you're on yours.…Read More It will be an amazing change for you and family. Real estate will definately be cheaper, which is my bigest gripe with rentals in the bay area. I wish you all the happiness you deserve. Linda Allen

Jennifer: I really enjoyed working with you on the story about the Barnes family and Ballet America…Read More back in December. Also liked "following you around town" on the other stories you covered. There will be lots of great people and exciting news back east -- not to worry. Best of luck.

This is a much more effective means for dealing with the issue. Legislation is not.

I agree, the public has the right to know what they are eating. It is absurd to be purchasing food…Read More that contains GMOs and not be able to know it is in the food....
why the secret if it is so safe???
I will not shop at any food stores that refuse to provide the public with information
on what I am eating or serving to the people I care about.
Trader Joes and Whole Foods have my loyalty for having the courage to stand up
against the big guys and set an example by doing what is right for the consumer
and not folding to pressure from Monsanto, Dupont and the other corporate giants that could care less about our safety and only care about how much money they can rake in.
