    "It takes forever to get anywhere in Salinas. It’s an old town, much of which had been preserved for the sake of it being John Steinbeck’s hometown. This means narrow streets, minimal parking, and lots of congestion. There are only a few streets which connect “Old Town” to the newer developments... which calls for lots of traffic on those roads."

As of lately an overwhelming presence of police when they could be on the other side of town where it needed. Borderline harassment when daughter walks our dog and police drive by and blind her by shining white lights at her. Unacceptable."
