Deb’s Dialog Editor’s Notes SEPTEMBER 2016 MARKETPLACECONTRACOSTA.COM 7 With the Rio Olympics finished, it just reminds me of how many wonderful sporting events that people take part in. If you enjoy biking, even casually, there are two local bike shops in West County to serve you. From novice to professional, they can outfit you with the appropriate equipment and gear. The fall weather is certainly the perfect time to get out and about on a bike. You can read about them on page 26. It’s fun to learn more about their beginnings in El Sobrante. DEBORAH LUDLOW STEVENS Also, Speaking of El Sobrante, one of our local retired community planning and development consults wrote about the El Sobrante beautification project that we thought we should share with our readership. It’s a wonderfully written piece about what it was like and what it is now, and what it is destined to be. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Cheers, Deborah Kids are back in school and things have started to normalize again, even the daily traffic patterns. Nice to have a routine again, however the fun fall season has just now begun!
