Special to the Village News When you have lived in a community as long as I have lived in Fallbrook, you accumulate a lot of folklore about it. Some stories are funny and some are tragic and some might be OK to repeat to a friend but not proper to talk about in a publication like this. I am going to tell you a story today that has been related to me several times over the years by my uncle, Dode Martin. He is older than I am and has lived here even longer. This story is all...

Kudos to everyone involved with staging the 30th Anniversary Fallbrook Avocado Festival. For the past several years, we've come close to bringing in 100,000 visitors, but this year, well over 100,000 came to enjoy a festive day in The Friendly Village. That's incredible!

That means little Fallbrook outdrew the Super Bowl by 30,000,...

We got a few glares, but almost everyone else came over to see if they could help, share their security alarm horror stories, and offer rides. Several Albertsons employees, while on their breaks, came over to see if they could help. The staff at...

Every car has to stop at 3 red lights, which is ridiculous. During actual working hours the flow is better, but they leave the lights blinking when they take lunch and hours after they leave. Maybe they should hire the school traffic control people. They seem to have a better handle on how to flow traffic adequately without much of a delay. I live by the high...
