Shame ... I went to First thru Fourth grade at Buena Vista school on River Road in Salinas ... same teacher throughout ... Mrs Lindsey. I was born there at Park Hospital. My mom was a Salinas High Cowboy and met my Dad at Hartnell. Most of my family worked at Spreckels Sugar at one time or another. My grandma ran a small beauty salon in the back of her house in Spreckels.
My grandfather spent 40 years at the Spreckels plant in Spreckles as head carpenter. My how things have changed

Sprekels Sugar Plant is long closed (jobs loss).
Dittos for the huge Goodyear Tire Plant in South Salinas (jobs loss).

Salinas, Calif is now a VAST majority of Mexicans, many of them probably legal.

Border Patrol? What Border Patrol? I heard the B.P. had a small office there but the politicos ousted them.
