Anyone who has ever moved to San Francisco and brought their car along has undoubtedly received a parking ticket or street sweeping ticket -- it's almost a rite of passage. Some of us have even stood outside on a foggy morning (already late for work) and wondered -- was our car stolen or towed?
One person is showing some neighborly love by reminding drivers of when it's street sweeping.
So if you've managed to hang on to your car while being a city dweller, just a reminder to check out when your street sweeping schedule is.
Reaching 75 years is a momentous accomplishment and has to celebrated in a grand manner-- even if the thing being celebrated is a novel.
John Steinbeck's classic Pulitzer-Prize winning 1939 American novel The Grapes of Wrath is reaching it's diamond anniversary in 2014, and to ring in the milestone of the book that has become a staple in most high schools and universities in the United States, The National Steinbeck Center is recreating the journey of the Joads -- literally.
Well, not down to the exact details, but the center has enlisted the help of three artists in conjunction with other cultural and educational organizations to follow the Route 66 path of the fictional Joad family through real American towns in the Southwest beginning in Sallisaw, Oklahoma, and continuing through Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and finishing in Bakersfield, Calif.
