A Pipe Dream

Some exciting news in the San Mateo Daily Journal today to start the new year … a letter of intent will be signed in two weeks for one of the items on my wish list!

The Burlingame Historical Society will be housing a museum in the Burlingame Avenue train station which will celebrate the rich history of Burlingame and Hillsborough. Of course there is always a challenge … to raise money for maintenance and operations. So many residents have been excited at the prospect of a Burlingame/Hillsborough museum that hopefully this will be a minor challenge!

We have to thank Russ Cohen, the Society's president, who thought the Train Station museum was just "a pipe dream" and who is making this dream a reality.

    Wonderful, informative comment period from Russ last evening. These are all very important events in our city upon which we can look back with pride. I am happy to see the community start to rally around a positive development like this and hope that the momentum from everyone can propel this along. It will take a lot of money, volunteerism and enthusiasm; I think Burlingame is up to it.

    It must be noted that the new Museum wil NOT – repeat NOT – cost the City of Burlingame one shiny red cent!

    This accomplishment has been successful through sheer hard work and good leadership and neither came from City Hall.
