Northgate band, how did the concert go in Santa Cruz? A concerned neighbor was awakened at 6:21 a.m when you were warming up your instruments, police reported.

Catalytic neighborhood. A catalytic converter was stolen from a Toyota 4Runner that was parked on Westcliff Place overnight. Heads up people, Creek Diva has pinpointed this neighborhood for many of these thefts.

A real fake gorilla. A person seen in a mask was near a home on Stewart Avenue at 9:10 p.m. turned out to be a kid in a costume. Probably not the best costume considering
