Our subject area is located just off of the Napa-Vallejo Highway at the junction of Soscol Road and Highway 29.

As I was maneuvering my way past various road repair and construction sites to the Vacaville Heritage Council the other day I was trying to think of a subject for this week's column and there it was.
