Historical Amnesia? I think this stop is in Rancho as well
I spotted this on flickr and cracked up. This bus bench must exist in Rancho somewhere. I've got to find it. Reading the last two years news articles in the Bee, Biz Journal and Grapevine, you'd think the period of time in Rancho history from 1977-2002 never existed. What's worse, is the absence of action, or even public comment to the Bee, to the County, over that time by some of Rancho's most celebrated leadership luminaries on issues like crime, child abuse and death, gangs, income property neglect, the housing of homeless children in cheap motels along with mentally ill "assisted living" patients, felons and probationers; the list goes on, even extending into the post-incorporation "era". Example: Olsen Drive Pedestrian Crossings?(A street srrounded by the busiest and most profitable retail center in the City of Rancho Cordova???) Not one, NOT one utterance in official city documents of any kind with the words "Croetto Way", "Woodberry Way", "Redburn Lane", "DeSoto Way", "Crawford Way", "Glenmoor Drive"... there are more, the list is staggering.
The slogan "Silence=Death" has a analogue in Rancho leadership circles....
"Silence=Rock with Plaque".
