It's been a long time since this site has been active...but now we have lost a real member of American Canyon. I never agreed with Ed, but am heart broken for his family at this time. What a shock! I can not imagine anyone having to experience the heartbreak this family has had to endure. There are ...

To All City Council Members, I have lived in Rancho for the last 23 yrs and am tired of the trash in my neighborhood. Today, when I came home from work 3 vehicles full of trash are my new view. Also, the fence on a house for sale on West Carolyn has become a new target for taggers! I want my tax dol...

Issa,

You're new site is great. I love the pics. I do hope that the residents of AC utilize your site to communicate with each other as to what is happening in AC.

Thank you...

I am sure anyone who reads the Register is aware of this guy's comments about AC. Mark Joseph and Ed West invited him to a tour...He refused...but was very vocal about "our " community. Ever been off the highway Musikluver? I am so disappointed that residents who have lived here for sooooo...

Mel,
Nice to see you back!
We as American Canyon Residents are very fortunate that both the Napa Register (Eagle) and the Vallejo Times Herald are willing to pick up our story. Let's appreciate that we have 2 newspapers reporting AC's happenings.

Judith, I seriously think you are in for culture shock coming from NYC! Over 20 yrs ago I thought I had moved to the "Country" compared to the S.F. Peninsula. American Canyon is changing by the day... As a community, it is peaceful and still growing. As for areas you should avoid...check o...

I haven't posted for quite a while but I would like to give my observation of the new Wal Mart.

For packaged and frozen goods...you cannot beat the price at Wal Mart!

For fresh produce and meat...Safeway!

On a personal note:

Officer Thurman, I hope you will be back in town safe and soon.

HOT...HOT...HOT!!! I just returned from the 4th of July Festival at Comm 1 park... Very impressive! I felt like I was walking on the Mid-Way of any Fair Circuit! It appeared that the kids were really enjoying themselves especially in the Jump area! I think this committee did a wonderful job of pulli...

A new fire/police station is built on the East side of town but the developer has not been able to get CalTrans to cooperate and place a signal at Donaldson Way and 29? Maybe 6 months? What the hell were you guys thinking not to have that already installed before spending 8 Million? God, I hope I do...

Issa, it appears your site is suffering. I am sorry that those that use to speak out have decided to be silent. I'm disappointed, but guess it is time to move on! I have enjoyed your site for several years. Thank you for providing entertainment, education and interaction for those of us that voiced ...

I happen to be surfing the channels tonight and ran across a broadcast of the NVUSD meeting...I listened to many parents speak about 2 teachers that will not be returning to Donaldson Way and ACMS.

Finally...we hopefully will see some results of plans that have been discussed for years. Welcome to AC Ms. Ripley! Residents like myself have heard about so many things that were in the works for years. It is time to see at least one project completed. Getting projects moving is task for new direct...

I posted this NV Register "crap" because unfortunately this is the stereo typical opinion of many of the residents in Napa. (I was offended but not surprised) To me, it is unacceptable. To me, I have experienced prejudice because I live in AC while holding a job for many years in Napa. To ...

What Non-Profit in AC could afford $80K a year???

Sell It!

ac94503

The 12 Million $ price tag was outrageous to me. Now it has dropped to 6+ million before improvements. I can live with that...

I do have a question.

What is the monthly loan payment for this building? (Including any property tax).

Recent postings on the Napa Register on-line site... AC has always had an "image" problem and here is a clear example of the prejudice our teens and others still face daily working and attending school in Napa. We will never be good enough in many "Napkin's" eyes. It is what it i...

Paul,

I must admit I was very surprised to see that your post remained on this site.

Vic, good come back!

Call it like it is!

I shop at Wal Mart because that is what my budget allows. I'm not disappointed if AC has a "Super" store. I am discusted that hwy 29 is already backed up to the airport intersection because of the new and old signals. The traffic is at a crawl! I do feel it will only get worse. The solutio...

Will this meeting be televised?

I remember previous meetings held at the Rec Center were not televised.

I also remember the pictures of residents with the "NO WAL MART" signs in the Register and Times Herald.

Are we back to square one?

ac94503

My comment has to do with a post from you regarding the suit against Wal Mart. Can't find it at the moment but basically it said Congratulations you've won...think of all the people you put out of work at Christmas time.

Maybe I misunderstood.

Many of the newer residents may not know about the last committee that tried to annex land into AC. LAFCO told the Council we had too much under-developed land in AC. So...what did we do...built more homes on every space available in a 3 mile radius with the understanding if we complied...annexation...

What happened that you decided to go to the other side? You have always been a Coffey supporter...why so negative about Stacey and Cindy?

ac94503

Gloprincess... After the closier of Cold Stone, I would assume this new business would have to be a private enterprise. (Really, what does that matter.) Also, in my opinion their prices would have to be afordable within a family community seeing that the last franchise failed. I guess we will have t...

Sounds good and reasonable...What are the early bird special times?

ac94503

I am going to ask for a post-script to my previous posts regarding the 4th. The way that Mr. Davis presented the committee's plans for the 4th really had a very bland nature to it. There was no enthusiasm from this presenter. Just the facts... I still stand by the one day event but in no way do I be...

ac94503

I received a card in the mail regarding this meeting. I believe one of the local newspapers quoted Mr. Ross that this meeting has been rescheduled til a later date in March? Is that correct? Also, one comment...6:00 P.M. is rather early considering many in the community may not even be home from wor...

You have brought up several interesting questions for the Council, Committee and yourself. First, why was public comment cut off after Fran's comments. If I remember correctly Fran attends another towns 4th. Second, I will agree with you that I would like to keep that "small town feeling" ...

ac94503

Watching the Council Meeting tonight...I do have a few comments. I do not agree with a 2 day event and actually was surprised by the suggestion when I first read about it several months ago. The 4th was never about making money. It was about providing a day where AC residents came together and enjoy...

I remember a discusion when the Water Board was in charge of AC prior to it becoming a City. Should we open up Elliot (at that time it was Donaldson WayI think seeing that we have about 3 Donaldson Way streets) to Vallejo City limits. I remember when there was only one way in and one way out of Ranc...

Thanks...

ac94503

Issa,

Just a yes or no question.

Do you think the City of American Canyon should purchase Cabernet Village as a temporary City Hall?

Thanks

ac94503

Issa,

I would like to see a survey on your site as to several of the questions I asked Matt. But, probably the most interesting to me would be:

"Should the City spend up to $12 Million dollars to purchase Cabernet Village for the new, temporary City office complex?

Is that a do-able?

ac94503

Matt,

I know you understand the bigger picture. Much more than I. You have been very quiet on this site in regard to the recent issues...

What do you think about Mr. Maguire's suit, the Current City Council and the $12 Mil purchase of Cabernet Village?

ac94503

Issa,

"they lose out not you." God forbid either of you 2 gentlemen ever experience a disability!

ac94503

Matt, Now, see how you have explained your comments. Your first post makes a little more sense after reading the article that you read. I was not aware of the same information as you...until you relayed that to this site. You probably do know that Am Can has recently been hit with a similar suit...I...

ac94503

OMG Matt, You surprise me being that you are retired military! Many of the veteran's that fought the war against Japan became aquainted with the foods and atmosphere of the Japanese Cuisine. Maybe...even some that were disabled in that war. Why in the world would you be against the law being followe...

Apparently, my mother was right. If you can't say anything nice about someone don't say anything at all! Mr. Maguire won this one! I remember the "sign patrol" during the last election. I thought it was ridiculous to spend so much time on "signs". Mr. Maguire took it one step fur...

There are over 150 registered users on this web-site. I find it very disheartening to see so few post their opinion on the most recent issue of the City Council approving the purchase of Cabernet Village. How many residents live here? 15,000? Mr. Maguire, I am hoping you will step up and inform the ...

VicRiv, Let's consider the other tangibles: a) A high visibility venue which identifies American Canyon It sounds like apparently we are still suffering from that identity crisis from years ago when we wanted our own zip code. And you say high visibility - for who? Commuters on HWY 29 and shoppers a...

ac94503

Let's see now VicRiv...you were one of the select residents that met with the City Manager prior to the initial proposal to purchase this building. If you would have seen a possibility of it costing up to $12 million would you have had the same recommendation as you did when it was at $8.3 million? ...

ac94503

Well MCB... let's look at it this way... With the discovery of that notorious red-legged frog at the Town Center site, this location may be more of a permanent home for the City Hall. I just hope somewhere in the 12 mil they have budgeted for a new audio system... Whoops, maybe we should raise that ...
