2012 marks the 20th year of Bethlehem A.D., a South Bay Christmastime tradition that recreates the ancient village of Bethlehem on the night of the first Christmas. FREE to the public, visitors walk through the outdoor village and interact with costumed actors; camels and other exotic animals; mingle with Roman centurions, tax collectors, census takers, village craftspeople, folk dancers and more. Angels on rooftops move to the music of a beautiful soundtrack, and the Holy Family in the Manger remind all about the true "Reason for the Season". Across the street from the event, free donuts and coffee and hot cider are served and bathrooms are available. December 21, 22, 23, from 6:00pm to 9:30pm nightly. 1305 Middlefield Road, 1 block south of Main Street in Redwood City. A memorable experience for the entire family. Follow the searchlights in the sky to Bethlehem A.D. http://www.BethlehemAD.com / 650-368-3812, ext. 1302 / BethlehemAD@juno.com

I see that I meant to type "...that connect us to the past," but I accidentally typed…Read 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. the…Read 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.
