Dedicated to Empowering and Informing the Burlingame Community

Good Grass

I try not to duplicate what goes out in the City's e-newsletter because I assume if you are reading the Voice you are also plugged into the official channels.  After all, if you are reading this blog regularly you are better informed than 95% of the people walking around town.

But this little competition is noteworthy because I want to follow the results, so be on notice that:

The Burlingame Beautification Commission and the City Council are pleased to announce the opening of nominations for the Best Business Landscape Award, which recognizes the efforts of businesses to maintain and beautify the City of Burlingame and to encourage attractive landscaping improvements in our community.

If you have a favorite

Nomination Form and Award Rules & Standards are available at the Parks & Recreation Department, 850 Burlingame Ave.

Which seems downright archaic to have to go get a piece of paper, but that's the drill.  Before winter returned this week, there were some gorgeous blooms happening around town–like this

Flowering plum 
As a native New Englander seeing this in mid-February NEVER gets old.

    Speaking of Good Grass..
    When will the first Medical Marijuna Clinic open up in Burlingame?
    We sure could use the tax revenue.

    My goodness, Holy, I would have thought if anyone knew that it would be you.

    AS a matter of fact..
    During the presentation of next weeks,”City of Burlingame Five year Plan”; Lane Room-6:00PM, A European Pharm. Company has proposed the purchase of the “Old Drive In” property, and all the frontage road property.
    The German Co. is going develop, grow, process, and market Medical Marijuna.
    I am all for people in pain of any kind, have access to what works for them.

    I also agree that marijuana should be legal, and for multiple reasons.
    That’d be great if some company turned that big field in to a pot farm. I’ve often ridden by there on a bike and thought it’s a wasted opportunity to not have something growing there – although I can imagine that the soil is problematic for a lot of crops.

    Awesome, Mr. Fuleron.
    We read and hear about the abuse, and addiction of pain medication.
    (Urban Myth)
    However, we do not read or hear of the addiction-related to pain control, of Marijuna.
    If smoking Marijuna, or old newspaper clippings helps somebody I do not know feel better, that is their decision.
    We do read about alcohal being the NUMBER ONE contributor to crime every single day.
