KALW 91.7, a local affiliate of National Public Radio, recently featured a segment on The Source with our very own Joanne Garrison titled How the City of Burlingame Got Its Name. To hear the piece, go to
www.crosscurrentsradio.org and then enter "Burlingame" in the search box in the upper right corner.
One thing the radio station did is compare the size of the Howard's rancho (6,500 acres) to Golden Gate Park (1,000 acres). That's fun to think about!
Copies of the book "Burlingame Centennial 1908-2008" full of such fun stories are still available for purchase at locations listed on the Burlingame Historical Society's website at
www.burlingamehistorical.org or by writing the author directly at MsJGarrison@aol.com.
