#FotoVorschlag: Typisch für deine Stadt/Region // Typical for your city/region

You will be surprised: #bluegrass. We have a vibrant #music scene in the area and a #festival at our heritage centre.

#Alsatians emigrated to #Texas and later introduced their music to their families at home. And we exported an original house to #Castroville: https://texashillcountry.com/castroville-little-alsace/ rebuilt stone by stone by students of our region.

Music knows no boundaries and draws inspiration from many regions as travelling.

"One of those major safety issues includes a light that will be removed. A #roundabout will be in its place. They're also improving the connection between the #bike and #pedestrian #bridge and the path to North #MontereyCounty High School.” https://www.ksbw.com/article/castroville-boulevard-interchange-highway-156/65926911

Speaking of North County bike and pedestrian bridges, ICYMI, here’s a favorite that also serves North #Monterey County High School students, and others. https://bikemonterey.org/completion-castroville-bicycle-and-pedestrian-overcrossing.html

KSBW reporting that about 1100 people being evacuated around the #Vistra lithium -ion battery plant; those nearby told to close windows and doors to avoid exposure to #toxic fumes. Hwy 1 closures north/south. Shelter provided in nearby #Castroville. KSBW reporters: "The danger, with this fire, is what you do NOT see." Apparently there is some frustration because Vistra is not giving out much info. Plume is blowing towards Watsonville and Mt. Madonna.

@ai6yr You may know about the life of the late George Tanimura, which included not only his leadership in agriculture but also that he and his family were forced into an internment camp in 1941. https://www.montereycountynow.com/blogs/news_blog/tanimura-antle-legend-george-tanimura-dies/article_39cce5c2-0591-11e6-b852-afb5ed56bb70.html
