Dedicated to Empowering and Informing the Burlingame Community

Today, April 18, at 5:12 am is the anniversary of the Big One that hit EssEff in 1906.  The festivities at Lotta's Fountain will take place as usual on Market Street, but this year there will be a special attraction from B'game.  I happened to be at an event at the Candy Store last night where it was announced that the 1906 Locomobile Model H seven passenger touring car that lives at Candy Store will be fired up and driven to Lotta's Fountain to join the remembrance.

It cruises comfortably at 40 mph, so the owner will only have to leave around 4am after he lights the carbide head lamps.  How fun!  Here it is.
