Tom Brady may be one of the biggest names in football today, but back in 1995 he was just a talented teenage quarterback known as Tommy at Serra High School in San Mateo.

Former Padres teammate and high school friend John Kirby, who’s now the assistant athletic director at Serra, remembers Brady as a humble and kind person whose fame hasn’t changed him one bit.

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.

I think the issue is much larger than whether children will experience stress. That ice rink is a…Read 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.
