Finishing April in Style As promised last week, I’m going to share with you some events that have happened or are planned for this month of woe for taxpayers. The first event was one of personal joy for my family: the arrival home of our youngest son Danny. As most of you remember, Danny […]
By Robin GOLDSWORTHY Nearly a thousand people poured (pun intended) onto Honolulu Avenue for the Montrose Food and Craft Beer Fest on Sunday afternoon. An estimated 35 vendors provided samples of their wares, with the primary offering being beer from a variety of Southern California-based breweries. Among those on the avenue was Wolf Creek Brewery […]
Follow Up Report First, thank you to those who offered their concern regarding my tackling another apparent onset of the flu. I am happy to report that medication and rest allowed me to quickly nix it and by the weekend I was feeling pretty good. That was a good thing because it was a […]
