Redwood City Street of Lights
December 17, 2011
If you want an enjoyable drive through Redwood City, please see Topaz Street. I also found Dewey Street to be great. Maybe, it is just because the street uses all the homes nationalities for their decorations. Very fun!
Come and see 411 Topax, that really surprises us with their tremendous display. We all appreciate all the Christmas Spirit!

Seniors Being Targeted Lottery Scam
December 3, 2011
This is very scary and could happen to any of our family members or friends. Please take the time to talk to your seniors that are close to you. On December 1, in the middle of the afternoon at the San Carlos Trader Joe’s, a woman in her 70’s was returning to her vehicle after shopping at Trader Joe’s in San Carlos. She was approached by two Hispanic males who offered to let her take part in a large draw from a winning lottery ticket if she would give them some good faith money. Although hesitant, the lady was coerced into the vehicle driven by both suspects and taken to her home in Redwood City. The victim went into her home and retrieved a large amount of cash and gave it to the suspects. She was then driven to the corner of El Camino Real & Madison Ave. in Redwood City where she was dropped off and the suspects drove away. The victim called her daughter to pick her up and told her what happened. They then reported the crime to the Sheriff’s Office.
The suspects are described as follows:
#1 – Hispanic male 60-70 years old, 5’5”-5’7” tall, stocky build, wearing glasses
#2 – Hispanic male 20-25 years old, 6’0”-6’4” tall, thin build, short black hair
Suspect vehicle – White full size newer model van with a sliding door and windows that wrap around the entire vehicle.
The Sheriff’s Office would like to make families aware of this type of crime that frequently targets elders.
Families are encouraged to talk to their seniors about these types of predators and the warning signs that they are being victimized.

Oktoberfest in Redwood City yesterday.
October 16, 2011
Yesterday at the Redwood City “Oktoberfest” was a complete blast. The one thing that was especially fun was watching all the children dance the day away. Boy, if I could bottle up the constant energy. It was so much fun. I meet some friends there and I ended up spending most of the day just dancing and watching all the people. This was a great event for Redwood City. The band was stupendous! 
The band was the Internationals, they have played for more than 30 years. They played all national music. The dancers from the Bavarian Club were outstanding.
For more information on the band visit the Internationals website.
Mezesville Map from 1856 (RWC)
August 13, 2011
Town of Mezesville, which was the historically area from 1856. This photo is compliments of the Redwood City Redevelopment site.
This is the original town map as laid out by Simon Mezes. The basic street pattern is still there, although many of the street names have been changed. The creek was covered over during the mid 1900s.
It is interesting that until I did some research did I even hear about how Redwood City began and started with Mezesville. Very interesting!
