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.

Each Friday night, beginning on Friday, December 10th, Redwood City’s Theatre Way will be closed to vehicle traffic from 6 pm to midnight, making it a more comfortable, inviting area for pedestrians.
Theatre Way is the beautiful, European-style street between Winslow Street/Middlefield Road and Broadway, featuring restaurants with outdoor seating, stylish paved streetscape and sidewalks, ornamental lighting, beautiful trees, and the main entrance to the Downtown Century 20 movie theater. Nearby is Redwood City’s Courthouse Square, site of many special events and festivals, and the central gathering spot for the community.
Each Friday evening at 6 pm, special decorative “bollards” (short vertical posts) will be placed at the Winslow Street end of Theatre Way to divert traffic, thus giving families, kids, and all pedestrians the opportunity to freely walk on the street as they enjoy the Downtown attractions.
While the new “pedestrian-only Fridays” starts during the colder holiday season, it will be particularly enjoyable during the warmer months and will offer the opportunity for additional events, activities, and gatherings on Theatre Way. Making Theatre Way pedestrian only on Fridays will also help to spread the crowds out during that busy evening, to make the sidewalks and business entrances more accessible and comfortable.
Pedestrian-only Fridays on Theatre Way are expected to continue at least through summer, of 2011 to take advantage of the Downtown’s primary event “season,” during which the City will assess the impact on traffic, as well as the improvement for pedestrians. An electronic message board will be in place at the entrance to Theatre Way for two weeks advising motorists of the upcoming Friday night closures.
