Belmont Woman is Contestant on ABC's 'The Bachelor'

Daniella McBride is a Belmont native and worked as a hostess at Vivace for several years. She made it through round-one on the season opener Monday night.

How far will Belmont native Daniella McBride make it in the new season of the reality TV show, "The Bachelor"?

Will she get a rose and capture the heart of hunky Sean Lowe? Or will she be whisked away in the limo, crying in her champagne?

McBride's "The Bachelor" bio says the 24-year-old is now a commercial casting associate in Southern California, but lists her hometown as Belmont, CA. And in fact, Mike Gunn, owner of Vivace Ristorante in Belmont confirmed McBride worked for the restaurant as a hostess several years ago.

I see that I meant to type "...that connect us to the past," but I accidentally typedRead More "...and connect us to the past." I think my meaning came through, though. Yes, the world does not need another national chain retail store or restaurant, which is surely what they're planning to put in there.

Yes Bren, agree with you....good point.....really what it seems to come down to is money vs. theRead More good of the community and richness of traditions. And all despite the Master Plan for that site in San Mateo that seems to require an ice skating rink or similar recreational facility AT THAT SITE, and all despite the fact the Ice Chalet would like to continue operations there. The Developer has made it difficult to impossible for any ice rink to operate there (tricky it seems)....so they can get a cookie cutter retail outlet in ? .....very, very sad for the youth of the community.

I think the issue is much larger than whether children will experience stress. That ice rink is aRead More local institution, dating back at least to when Fashion Island was there. It's terrible for communities to lose so many landmarks and connect us to the past.
