Street Sweeping Schedule
All public residential streets in American Canyon are swept every other week on the weekday following your trash pick-up. Residential sweeping starts at 6 AM so making sure cars are off the street the night before is very helpful.

Here it comes folks, Dana's semi-annual "buy local" rant, this time restaurant style. I had lunch at Crave this week and hadn't been there in a while. The place was hopping! They have a very cool mix of food options, from fruit teas and shaved snow to fried rice bowls and gravy fries. Dinner at Tacos Michoacán on Wednesday. I go there often to fill my carnitas cravings. But the carne asada is every bit as good. Then there's Thai Kitchen, Mi Zacatecas, TR2, Allspice, Over the Top yogurt, and Parry's Pizza. Want a good old-fashion pancake and bacon breakfast? Can't beat Canyon Café. And you haven't lived until you've had the polenta at La Strada. Looking for special night out, including entertainment and a bar? The Gaia Restaurant (at the Doubletree) will take care of you. And I haven't even mentioned the many popular national brand restaurants in town. So what's my point? Rather than spend way too much money at a restaurant in Napa, or long for the day your-most-favorite-restaurant-ever comes to American Canyon, why not try these local restaurants? Mexican, Italian, Thai, American, Indian...it's here. One a week is all I ask.

Wipes Clog Pipes! Re-think what you flush
Disposable does not always mean flushable. Household cleaning and baby wipes do not dissolve, they get stuck in the sewer pipes and equipment. Most wipes will claim they are flushable. Anything is flushable; star wars action figure, Barbie heads, hot wheel cars, q-tips, expired medications, dental floss and needles all can be flushed, but would you?
 Re-think when you see the word "flushable", it can be used for a lot of things. Only toilet paper is truly flushable. It is easily broken down into very small particles that will not get bunched together to cause a sewer overflow or get caught in expensive treatment equipment. Toilets are not trash cans, please throw used wipes in the garbage; better yet use reusable cloths! |

National Night Out!
National Night Out is an annual event that encourages community-police partnerships, crime prevention and neighborhood camaraderie. It sends a message to criminals that your neighborhood is organized, aware and fighting back! It is also a lot of fun! Registered block parties are visited by police and fire personnel and vehicles, public officials and other surprises too! (Hint, check out this picture!)
August 5th from 5 - 8 PM you are encouraged to participate in a block party. Want to host one or see if someone already has something scheduled?
