It is a great place. It is beautiful.
Crime reports in the newspaper usually consist of something like this...caller reported someone going door to door, selling meat (actually I've been buying meat from him for about a year), or, 2:35 a.m., a woman called to say she was locked out of her car...police responded and called roadside service, or a person refused to leave a driveway and stop blowing leaves.
I also have a great bus story. At night there is/ was only one small half bus which runs between 2 towns, Grass Valley and Nevada City. I needed to pick up my car on the regular bus route and found out that they didn't travel that route at night only the hiway. I wasn't going to walk it is quite a hill and a hike. I figured I'd just go back home and try the next day but the driver said well, let's see what I can do.... On the way back he asked everyone if they minded and drove me right to my car but that is not all, as we were going down a hill a guy on a bicycle passed us going pretty fast, he sped right through the intersection and hit a car that was just driving normally, the guy flew and crunched his bicycle and scraped his chin pretty bad. We stopped the bus helped him up loaded his bicycle and dropped him at the hospital and then stopped and dropped off some lady at her car in a parking lot just because it was on the way. In fact you call the bus company at night and tell them where you are and they pretty much come and get you, or did anyway, we've grown a bit since then. Carol
