The Friday night music series at Joe’s Bar in Boulder Creek is rapidly becoming a favorite venue for bands and audience alike. With a casual and intimate atmosphere and warm, supportive staff and owners, it is hardly possible to have anything but a great Friday night out, dancing, playing pool, enjoying the music and having fun with the local crowd. All shows are from 8:30 to midnight and there is never a cover – although everybody is encouraged to bring a few bucks to throw into the tip jar for the musicians. Come on by and see for yourself how much fun it is to enjoy great music in your own home town!

Santa Cruz Sentinel . . Fliers encouraging to ‘hunt down’ burglars raise concern

October 5, 2010 By in Community Leave a comment

The Santa Cruz Sentinel has published a story about the flyers many have reported seeing around town which encourage readers to “hunt” down a person the flyer states has been stealing medical marijuana around this area.

Sgt. Dan Campos was quoted in the article, stating: “We can’t verify that there has been a crime here. This victim who got his medical marijuana stolen got it on video; God bless him. But if he hasn’t reported the crime to us, how can we take it seriously?”

Looks to us like the police may be sadly “out of the loop” – if this was legit Medical Marijuana, wouldn’t they have reported it to the police instead of trying to take matters in their own hands? If this is medical marijuana, they should get the cops involved.
