Letters To The Editor
What happened to ‘neighbor courtesy’? Editor: As residents of Sonoma, we have figured which routes both tourists and residents alike use to get between Napa, Sonoma, Hwy 12, Arnold Drive, etc. What has definitely been forgotten is that many of these routes are still residential and... Continue
