We also expect Hamas and Israel to release hostages and prisoners based on continued negotiations.

Twenty Years With the Sharks https://www.sanjoseinside.com/opinion/05_05_11_twenty_years_with_the_sharks/ https://www.sanjoseinside.com/opinion/05_05_11_twenty_years_with_the_sharks/#comments Thu, 05 May 2011 14:21:43 +0000 http://www.sanjoseinside.com/news/entries/05_05_11_twenty_years_with_the_sharks/

On Sunday and again last night, I saw the Sharks play the best hockey I have seen in 20 years. It doesn’t seem like 20 years ago that my family and I would pile into the car and drive to the Cow Palace in Daly City to watch hockey. I shared seats with a good friend who had never been to a hockey game in his life, until opening night at the Cow Palace.

Name Games https://www.sanjoseinside.com/opinion/03_06_11_mineta_san_jose_airport/ https://www.sanjoseinside.com/opinion/03_06_11_mineta_san_jose_airport/#comments Sun, 06 Mar 2011 18:01:07 +0000 http://www.sanjoseinside.com/news/entries/03_06_11_mineta_san_jose_airport/

I remember when a few civic leaders pushed to have the convention center in downtown San Jose named after former mayor Tom McEnery, even though he was still alive (and still is). Then came a train station that had to have the name of another still-living public figure, Rod Diridon. What came next? The San Jose International Airport’s name wasn’t good enough, so these same civic leaders (who like their own names on other buildings in surrounding communities) pushed to have our then quaint airport named after Norman Y. Mineta. Certainly a fine and honest man, and also very much alive.

Parking and the Anti-Business Attitude of San Jose https://www.sanjoseinside.com/opinion/01_20_11_parking_business_tickets_san_jose1/ https://www.sanjoseinside.com/opinion/01_20_11_parking_business_tickets_san_jose1/#comments Fri, 21 Jan 2011 01:27:57 +0000 http://www.sanjoseinside.com/news/entries/01_20_11_parking_business_tickets_san_jose1/ You’d think the City of San Jose would make a super effort to encourage people to visit the area. Not our city.

Woodstock Remembered: 40 Years Ago https://www.sanjoseinside.com/news/woodstock_remembered/ https://www.sanjoseinside.com/news/woodstock_remembered/#comments Sun, 16 Aug 2009 16:30:00 +0000 http://www.sanjoseinside.com/news/entries/woodstock_remembered/ As the sun came up revealing all the burned out people and campfires, Jefferson Airplane played Wooden Ships. A serape-skirted woman with long blond hair played the flute in the campsite next to ours. The sun rose and everyone collectively woke up. The Hog Farm was spread out on the knoll above us serving a breakfast of brown rice and vegetables. We were all exhausted but it wasn’t that different than any other camping trip we’d gone on. Just a whole lot more people and a lot better music.
