    "We’ve had a 4th of July block party for a few years that is about it. We have lived in the same house approximately 45 years. Most of the neighbors have been here many years like us. My brother and his family is across the street so it’s a pretty close knit group here we have known for many years "

    "Although Benicia is a safe city in general, it’s crucial for parents to still be vigilant with kids up to high school age. There are many folks from surrounding cities who come and have made Benicia a bit unsafe lately."
