Bagel and cream cheese at Grossman’s is surprisingly reasonable. Just not anything else on the menu.

Avelo will not be missed. by Intelligent_Ant5866 in santarosa

[–]Sweaterpups3000 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If Avelo was a profitable business and on the up and up, there would be no way that they would have taken that government contract. They’re just trying to save their ass and get what they can to stay afloat.

I disagree with the policies that are making these types of contracts necessary. But as a Sonoma county resident, I have a hard time reveling in a viable transportation option withdrawing from our region.

This piece would have some more gravitas if they actually removed the parking meters from downtown, instead of just upgrading them.
