Toys in park cause neighborhood spat
“Colby Park is encircled by 61st Street and tucked away in a quiet Rockridge neighborhood. On a sunny day, with children laughing and parents picnicking, it appears tranquil.
But the park is at the center of an escalating neighborhood dispute. Residents are divided on how to handle the communal toys that fill the park, an issue addressed at a July 21 community meeting.”

On Inside Bay Area, the website of the Oakland Tribune. First appeared in the Montclarion.
On the Mercury web
I just realized a story I wrote about a house made out of shipping containers is on the San Jose Mercury News website.
It was on a tour of innovative eco homes in the Bay Area, and is really a lovely and interesting house.
(They spelled my name wrong, though.)
More stories up on Contra Costa Times website
I’ve got some more stories up at the Contra Costa Times website. All were originally published in the Montclarion, the Piedmonter or the Alameda Journal.
One was a profile of a woman I found quite impressive — though only 27, she’s been a foreign correspondent and runs a non-profit and just won a journalism award.
I’m keeping my audience up to date with the Safeway development on College and Claremont, as well.
And I covered a very touching art exhibit by former foster youth.
