This week, in addition to celebrating our Nation’s Independence, I am going to celebrate a temporary bout of independence from overly long letters!
SO—without further ado— the answer to Burning Question number 70409:
Yes! We are open on the 4th of July. We will likely close early so everyone can get to the Parade, which starts at noon, but we will be open as usual at 9 AM.
Answer to part 2 of Burning Question Number 70409:
Nope. We can’t change opening hours: we would if we could, but we can’t so we aren’t.*
But if you want to make sure you get your red, white and blue potatoes so you can make a lovely tri-colored pan-full to go with your seriously independent free range chickens, or your blueberries, strawberries and raspberries for your equally gorgeous and commemorative Independence Day desserts, why come on down to Pacifica on Wednesday afternoon, where you can stock up on everything you need for a bang-up wingding.
Pacifica’s own Jay Howlett will provide the entertainment on Wednesday afternoon, and Pacifica’s own Don Rowell Trio will light your fuse on Saturday.
And thanks to our sponsors from the Harbor- the Half Moon Bay Brewing Company, Huck Finn Sport Fishing and Sierra West for your support of the Market, but also for your support of the men and women of The American Legion Post 474, to whom we all owe a huge debt of gratitude.
See you at the Market,

Congresswoman Jackie Speier in Pacifica, Saturday, Mar 16 1:46pm, Kevin Barron — This should be interesting. I’m guessing she’ll pull her best Ginger Rogers, dancing in synch with the “need” for health care reform, and sashaying skirting around the “way” Obamacare is being pushed by Congress. I’m curious where she REALLY ...
Pacifica examines widening part of Hwy 1 to six lanes, Mar 15 9:49pm, Carl May — No, Route 1 does not become a freeway north of Reina del Mar in Pacifica.

Pacifica examines widening part of Hwy 1 to six lanes, Mar 15 6:16pm, Barry Parr — We use the vet on that stretch of Hwy 1. A couple of years ago, we took Fireball to the vet. Julia was six and as soon as she got out of the car, she put her hands on her ears. I don’t blame her. I’ve been keeping track of sound levels in my ...
The Coastside's uninsured need your help, Mar 15 5:51pm, Suzanne Black — Excellent article, Cheryl. It brings home the national argument over health care reform. So much misinformation in the media and blogs! But it boils down to how we treat our neighbors—and our own and our families’ futures. Your advice is our best ...

Pacifica examines widening part of Hwy 1 to six lanes, Mar 15 3:08pm, Kevin Barron — The meeting is the first step to creating a Draft Environmental Impact Report.
