<title>Frank Simpson: PETALUMA'S NEIGHBORHOOD OUTREACH</title>
<link>http://frank-simpson.petaluma360.com/</link>
<description><![CDATA[Frank Simpson is a community observer who comments on scenes or conditions in Petaluma&apos;s public areas, streets and neighborhoods.  Occasionally, articles are written by (or about the adventures of) The EVEL Twins (Triplets?): Boris--Frank&apos;s EVEL Twin and ACE PINS Photographer; Igor--Boris&apos; EVEL Twin &amp; The Real Prince Of Darkness; and Ivan--The Source Before Darkness &amp; 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 &quot;caught the last train for the coast&quot;...never to be heard from again.  However, they do check in from time to time. Fortunately, the Petaluma Fowl &amp; Wildlife Consortium has stepped in to fill the void created by their departure.]]></description>
