Yay!  I scheduled another meeting at the Second Street Branch Office for this afternoon.  I [...]

I saw this “lost dog” sign posted on a tree as I walked around Downtown today, and figured I’d help the owner out by posting a pic of it.  This dog was lost last Saturday at the Farmers Market, which would be in the area around Front and GE Patterson.  There’s a large cash reward to [...]
