No doubt about it. I was more than pleased to read Yovanna Bieberich's article this morning about the new Raley's store in Petaluma.

PETALUMA TWINS--Potholes & Asphalt
Petaluma's pothole & asphalt "issues" just won't go away! Somehow, Kentucky Fried Chicken got into the story and Paul Kelley, Chairman of the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors has issued an amazing letter to the Mayors of Sonoma County.

PETALUMA POTHOLES--Life Imitates Art?
;)
View Photo AlbumI once suggested melting down abandoned shopping carts to fill potholes. Turns out that "reality" far exceeded my fanciful suggestion--KFC offers to fill potholes and MIT invents electricity generating shock absorber.

PETALUMA SAFEWAY CORRALS SHOPPING CARTS
Recently, Safeway in Petaluma installed the Carttronics system which prevents the easy removal of the carts from the parking lot. Safeway shoppers should note the electronic boot on the front left wheel...

About this blog
Frank Simpson
Frank Simpson is a community observer who comments on scenes or conditions in Petaluma's public areas, streets and neighborhoods. Occasionally, articles are written by (or about the adventures of) The EVEL Twins (Triplets?): Boris--Frank's EVEL Twin and ACE PINS Photographer; Igor--Boris' EVEL Twin & The Real Prince Of Darkness; and Ivan--The Source Before Darkness & Light. The EVEL Twins are sometimes joined by ZELDA--The Real Queen of Mean. Recently, the Twins (two plus one) and Zelda packed their bags and "caught the last train for the coast"...never to be heard from again. However, they do check in from time to time. Fortunately, the Petaluma Fowl & Wildlife Consortium has stepped in to fill the void created by their departure.
