Remembering some Christmas pasts
/
Goerke-Shrode, Sabine
[50]
[WAYITWAS-2000-50]
Christmas is fast approaching with its wonderful traditions and not so wonderful "still-have-to-do" moments. Records of earlier celebrations allow us a glimpse of some of the same traditions but also of a slower, seemingly more peaceful season.

Not-so-ancient history from Reporter's pages
/
Bowen, Jerry
[697]
[WAYITWAS-2007-697]
The majority of articles Sabine Georke-Shrode and I have been writing are about happenings well in the past. So, why not write a few items about what has happened that are more recent?

Vacaville, Fairfield, Suisun - People County
/
Rico, John
[902]
[RICO-1981-902]
AND AWAY WE GROW- Years ago, in fact in 1910, when Vacaville residents traveled to San Francisco using old Highway 40, they needed to be alert in passing through Fairfield else they would have missed the few buildings there marking that hamlet. The population of Fairfield in 1910 was 834, and although Vacaville at that time was no booming metropolis, it claimed a population of 1177. Many Vacaville resident, seeking merchandise and services in those days gone by, would travel to nearby Suisun, which had more to offer than did Vacaville or Fairfield. But, look what's happened since those days.

Fun Time At The Springs
/
Wichels, Ernest
[838]
[WICHELS-1965-838]
Last Sept. 13 we wrote of the past glory of Blue Rock Springs-how it was established about 1866, taken over by General Frisbie in 1869, the center of Vailejo's summer life-dancing, swimming, camping-for half a century.

Travelers bugged by strange bedfellows Lodgings harbored pesky critters and sleepless nights
/
Bowen, Jerry
[660]
[WAYITWAS-2006-660]
I was watching the news today regarding the infestation of bedbugs and about fleas carrying West Nile virus. The media went on and on about people traveling all over the world and the result is that diseases and bugs of all kinds are being spread over areas once free from such things.

Fires change the face of Vacaville
/
Bowen, Jerry
[155]
[WAYITWAS-2003-155]
I was kickin' back at the Vacaville Heritage Council, cogitating on what I should write about this week, when I happened to glance at a couple of photos of Vacaville in the old days.

Denverton was once known as Nurse's Landing
/
Bowen, Jerry
[33]
[WAYITWAS-2000-33]
Every day thousands of travelers and strung-out commuters zoom past a road sign on Highway 12 that points to Denverton Road not far from the Western Railroad Museum. Should you choose to leave Highway 12 here, a fading and dusty street sign on this quiet road greets you declaring this to be the "Rio Vista-Denverton Road." An old ranch, a couple of newer structures and a bridge over a swampy waterway are all that occupy the quiet lane.
