Don’t you just love this time of year
when we have sprung forward
with the time change to allow for
more daylight hours? I really enjoy
being outdoors in the evenings to
unwind with my dog, Teddy. And
speaking of spring, it might be time
for your windows to be washed or
replaced, landscaping to be redone
and more. Spring always signals
the start of home projects it seems. I hope you take time to
look though our local advertisers services in our Home &
Garden section. Many of these advertisers have been in
business for over 15-20 years and they have advertised
with us since then. See pages 48-52 to find what you may
be looking for.
Cheers,

Spring is in the air and we
have our annual Explore San
Pablo special section. We
would like to congratulate the
City of San Pablo for winning
a nationally recognized prize
and award for the Culture of
Health. The City of San Pablo
and the San Pablo EDC have
taken great steps to making
the city a better place to live, work and play. To learn
more about this award, turn to pages 23-25 which is a
part of this special section. And again congratulations
to all whom were involved in making this happen. It’s
wonderful to see and share the news!
Until next month,
Julia
