Osama bin Laden Buried At Sea

What are your thoughts, Martinez?

Al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden was killed by American Navy SEALs on Sunday, according to President Barack Obama. His body was later buried at sea. The mastermind of 9/11 has been the focus of a world-wide manhunt for nearly 10 years. The announcement of his death, made by President Obama in a late-night speech from the East Wing of the White House on Sunday, brought thousands to the streets in celebration, and was the primary topic on Twitter and Facebook throughout the night.

A quick check of the Martinez 9/11 Memorial at the Amtrak Station found it quiet and unoccupied Sunday night, but we all know that Martinez is a town of opinions. So how are you feeling? What are your thoughts on this news? Weigh in and let us know.

I have found it's very hard to find a parking spot there. Another negative is the number of theRead More "constant outsdoorsmen" types lurking all around. I've been confronted several times and worried about leaving my car there.

I am happy to know that Mr. Behan's review of "STID" is now available. Might we knowRead More where it is available? Perhaps I am just an Apple lovin' technopeasant, but despite my frantic serial clicking on text without links, I could not find the actual story. Alas and alack I may never know why there is no darkness in "...Into Darkness" (or Lightness). Oh, and welcome back Jim!

The main reason I don't go to any of the businesses downtown is the lack of parking. What littleRead More there is is taken up by the owners of these establishments. God forbid they park somewhere else less convenient so actual paying customers can frequent their businesses.

Jim, then that's yet another penalty for showing up for jury duty. The system needs a big overhaul.Read More

The city is no longer paying for juror parking. In other words, juror or not, if your meter hasRead More expired, you pay.
