The SFGate has published a lot of Piedmont stories lately, mainly about real estate (Japanese bath, Japanese-style home) , but some “news” stories as well. Now the NYTimes is in on the Piedmont frenzy with a post about burglaries of houses staged for open home tours.
A good reminder that we are in a small town, but we still need to keep an eye out for our neighbors. Thanks to Elizabeth and Barry for the link.

The folks across the bay just can’t get enough news about our little town. Today’s SFGate has an article “Piedmont: Holding Steady as Storms Rage“. The general theme is that our home prices are holding steady thanks to our great schools and public services.
And on the same day I got this email regarding a Parcel Tax kick-off meeting:
Now that the two complimentary Parcel Tax measures have been approved by the School Board and submitted for the June 2nd ballot, the Steering Committee is recruiting volunteers to build support and coordinate a Get Out the Vote effort in all Piedmont neighborhoods. There are many ways to be involved, every little bit helps a lot, and we would love you to join our efforts!
Please come to the Parcel Tax Volunteer Kick-Off Meeting on Wednesday, March 18th from 7-9 p.m.
We will enjoy wine, coffee, and desserts, and then our local campaign expert, Larry Tramutola, will explain campaign strategy. It should be a fun and productive evening. Everyone who would like to help is welcome at the meeting — please tell your friends and neighbors! (rsvp helpful but not necessary)
For more information, please contact the Parcel Tax Co-Chairs:
