(Los Alamitos, 9/2/2010) For the 4th Thursday in a row by our “Highlands Guy” is back with yet another interesting question. Looks like we’ve got another regular weekly feature, like our “Sunday Sermons” and our weekly crime reports that I’ll post once I receive them, usually on Tuesdays.
This time “Highlands Guy” has hit on something I’ve been wondering about for two years.

(Los Alamitos, 7/23/2010) (by Dave Emerson. . . & you!) In the last few days I recieved several comments and questions from Los Alamitos residents via the “contact us” button in the masthead.
They weren’t related to any specific post, but raised good points. So I’m experimenting with a weekly post for you to post snippets of information, questions, or anything else you’d like to communicate with the community.
