Hi everyone, the grand opening of In-N-Out Burger is today. They open at 10:30 for those that can’t wait for a mid-morning burger delight.
The burger chain, which has been welcomed some with delight, while protested and disliked by others in San Carlos has opened.
The restaurant is located on the corner of Holly St. and Industrial. I wonder if it will cause a traffic jam.
Enjoy your burger or shake.

Beginning Monday, the Belmont Police Department will launch intensive enforcement of seat belt laws as part of a national “Click It or Ticket” campaign.
A first-time ticket costs — at a minimum — $142, and at least $445 for a child under 16, according to the Police Department.
More than 140 local law enforcement agencies as well as the California Highway Patrol are participating in the campaign, which starts Monday and continues through June 5.
Passengers riding in a car at night are among those least likely to buckle up, police say, which makes them the most likely to die in crashes when unrestrained. Nationally, of those killed in nighttime crashes in 2009, 62 percent were not wearing a seat belt. Due to that fact, Belmont police say they will focus their efforts at night.
Authorities say California’s current seat belt use rate is at an all time high at 96.2 percent, which is due in part to the Click It or Ticket mobilization. The campaign is credited with increasing the state’s adult seat belt usage from 92.5 percent in 2005 to 96.2 percent in 2011.
In 2009, seat belts saved approximately 12,713 lives nationwide. In California, it’s estimated that 320 people who were killed in 2009 would be alive today if they had been wearing seat belts, police say.
California’s Click It or Ticket campaign is paid for by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Save your life and your money, buckel up!

The city of San Carlos has posted this for the upcoming storm. If anyone needs help getting the sand bags, please let me know and I will arrange getting them for you. Very important for our seniors in our area.
The National Weather Service has issued a heavy storm warning for Friday and this weekend for the San Francisco Bay Area. The City is making sand, sandbags and a shovel available starting today for San Carlos residents and merchants. There is a limit of ten (10) bags per residence/ business.
The Sand and Sandbag distribution point in San Carlos is the open parking lot at the San Carlos Corporation Yard at 1000 Bransten Road. This area will be open on a 24 hours a day basis, 7 days a week.
Questions can be directed to the General Services Department at (650) 802-4140 or Public Works Department (650) 802-4204 during business hours. After hours emergencies should be reported to Police Dispatch at (650) 802-4321.
If your property has a history of flooding or standing water each year (such as water building up at the garage or back patio for example), you are encouraged to get sandbags in advance of the rainy season and have them on hand throughout the winter.
In addition, the Public Works Department is checking catch basins and City crews have been assigned to storm duty to check the creeks and hot spots.

A living Christmas experience for anyone. Every year Redwood City has the town of Bethlehem recreated for Christmas even. This year it will be on Dec. 21, 22 and 23. It is just for walking this year. Too many car problems before. It is held at 1305 Middlefield Road in Redwood City. You can imagine what it was like 2000 years ago when a baby was born. Hours from 6-9:30 pm.

I found this great site from the California Association of Realtors site….Recycling cooking grease, especially if you’re a fan of those giant turkey fryers, is a better option than clogging sinks and sewers. One use for the goo is powering biodiesel vehicles. Type in “cooking oils” at www.earth911.com to find recycling centers. it is a great site for many other choices for recycling the “hard” stuff.

Previously known as Gateway Properties, The Office Bar & Grill has transformed the El Camino into a new Peninsula Hot Spot. Whether your looking for somewhere to watch your favorite Bay Area sports teams on the big screen, or looking for a fun night out with friends and family, The Office is the place for you. This San Carlos watering hole is unlike any other featuring a full size bocce ball court, custom fire pits, and live music to keep you entertained 7 nights a week! More importantly The Office is already becoming a San Carlos favorite because of its delicious speciality bites like the Redneck Taco, and thirst quenching cocktails like the Hot Receptionist. All of this excitement packed into one amazing establishment will surely leave you satisfied and coming back for more!
The Office is a family owned restaurant that developed from a wet bar in Gateway Properties into one of the best new bars in San Carlos. The owners Steve Hicks and Dave Parks have always seen the need for a quality new bar & grill on the peninsula and have now filled the void that many San Carlos natives have been feeling for years. Both Steve and Dave strive to deliver the highest quality ingredients in all the food they prepare and the service they provide. So come on in and try it for yourself. The Office owners and friendly staff guarantee you will leave happy! It has been a bit crowded because of the games and the big screen TV. A great place to meet friends.
