Tunnel vision

There is always something special about the tunnel under the Main Causeway - a sort of damp darkness that inspires boaters to sing out, "Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me;" or for photographers to frame the wide open expanse of the Main Lake or serenity of the East Bay. Photographer Linda Hickey says she just happened to glance back while heading through the tunnel toward the East Bay and loved the way the rounded structure framed the sunset.

Movie Reviews by Reel People: 'Salt'
If you’re waiting for the action film of the summer, wait no longer. Angelina Jolie has transformed into a new, believable and feminine version of Jason Bourne. "Salt" is an intelligent action thriller with a contrived story, but it works if you buy into Jolie’s act. Her performance is so volcanic she might even close a few European airports.

Letter: Getting trashed
What happened to the second safest city in California? When we enjoyed that position just a few years ago did we have better security or because as a community we displayed more pride of ownership? Do we have more tenants who lack that pride of ownership and do not control their kids?
