The San Mateo County History Museum will present An Old-Fashioned Fourth of July within its museum, the 102-year-old county courthouse in Redwood City. Children will be invited to hand-crank vanilla ice cream and then take a taste. They will also make traditional Independence Day crafts to take home with them. Museum admission will be half-price that day: $2.50 for adults, $1.50 for seniors and students and, as always, free for kids five and under. For more information see www.historysmc.org or call 650.299.0104. San Mateo County History Museum, 2200 Broadway, Redwood City

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.
