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,

Pacifica examines widening part of Hwy 1 to six lanes, Mar 10 6:55pm, Barbara Kossy — I wonder how much of the traffic is due to parents taking kids to school, and picking them up from school. I notice when school is out, it’s a faster drive through Pacifica. Maybe it would be more effective to re-instate the use of school ...
CUSD to finalize cuts Weds, protests planned, Mar 10 4:50pm, Katharine Weber — Well, we all got notified that we are going to be officially laid off and the letter comes Friday. That’s all five Counselors in the district, including Ilene Bragman, who has served Cabrillo Unified since 1974. ...
Pacifica examines widening part of Hwy 1 to six lanes, Mar 10 11:59am, Kathryn Slater Carter — I think TA and Pacifica need to update their assumptions, traffic studies and proposed solutions.

Consultants' plan for Hwy 1 lacks awareness of our environment and community, Mar 8 6:35pm, Carl May — With Sabrina’s examples, which are among the dozens, and possibly hundreds of different ones available, the same old problems for our midcoast remain: All but one of the examples show a suburbanized, scene totally dominated by development and not ...

I’m glad to see people taking the time to comment on the always contentious issue of off ...
CUSD to finalize cuts Weds, protests planned, Mar 8 12:07pm, Katharine Weber — I think part of it is that there is a feeling that this community doesn’t really realize how serious the impact of all of these cuts will be. I suspect the parcel tax will fail, everything outside the classroom will disappear (electives, ...
