🏙️The Mayor’s Notes

After months of planning, Valleypalooza is officially in the books. Despite some unexpected high winds, it was an amazing event and the Community showed up.

And most importantly we raised thousands of dollars for The Joy Bus. Thank you, LNP!

This Community event doesn’t work without you.

Mayor’s Pick

I still haven’t found better Thai food than Sala Thai. We go to the one at 32nd St and Shea and my fav dish is the Pad Thai. The service is great, prices are reasonable and it’s really good.

The leftovers are even better ;-)
