They came out to take a look at the door and had it back on track in about 30 seconds. All it took was a good hit with a fist in the right place. I was a little embarrassed when I asked them, “How m...

One block off of a busy intersection in Fallbrook is what I believe to be a “winner” in a neighborhood beautification award. I have been down Vine Street many times in the past few years, visiting a friend who lives there. I have watched with awe as this group of neighbors work hard to keep their street neat and tidy, free from graffiti, and swept clean. Last week, I was surprised to see, at the end of the cul-de-sac, a garden had been planted, filling a space where only shrubs had been before. After asking around, I was tol...
