Post-Holiday Blues ... and Reds
On his walk today Your Boulevardier noticed several broken windows on Castro Valley Boulevard. Specifically, a window at Crush Comics was boarded up, and a window and two glass doors at Direct Sales were secured with plywood or tape and awaiting repair. It's a shame to think that holiday revels in Castro Valley got so out of hand that vandalism was the result, but it so appears. Do readers have any more information about these happenings?
By way of contrast, nature was having none of the human-caused havoc. The morning skies were clear and cold, and the few remaining leaves and berries on deciduous plants were calling for attention, as evidenced by these fruits appearing on a shrub on Redwood Road.
The clear winter weather just begs for long, objective-free walking, in the opinion of Yours Truly. It (the weather, that is) is not supposed to last; off-and-on rain is predicted for the rest of the week. Your Boulevardier has professional work to catch up on, and so, in a way, he hopes the inclement weather comes; it will force him to stay at his desk and complete the projects before the New Year arrives.

Sometimes when it's so nice and clear outside we just have to bundle up and enjoy the fresh air. A little exercise only makes it better. Funny how that hot unforgiving sun in the summer heat is so much more appreciated in the winter.
Unfortunately, shop windows are not the only casualty this holiday season. This Boulevardier fan on Walnut reports multiple homes and cars have been peppered with rocks in the last few weeks.
A source with local law enforcement reports that it's two cars with teens that race against each other in the berg (a Mercedes and a new Mustang!?!?)
It's probably not the same unwelcome vandals targeting shops along CVB, but certainly we are under attack.
Add Pet Food Express to the CV Boulevard businesses with boarded-up windows. It's not known if this happened the same night as the other damage.
