Glad to see it alive and well there but kinda creeped out by its tagline: Santa Cruz: "Murder Capital of the World"? Is it because of all the vampires? lol

So while there, I HAD to take a pic of this:

How fitting is that? lol

Oh! I purchased the Noiseblocker at PPCs. LINKY.

Thank you all for the feedback, me hearties! More to come...
hRmm, never heard about the murder capital thing? We actually have a very low crime rate here.

Murder rate from 1999 through 2007:

1999. 1
2000. 3
2001. 0
2002. 4
2003. 4
2004. 1
2005. 2
2006. 3
2007. 1

According to http://www.city-data.com/city/Santa-...alifornia.html

I have heard of the Vampire thing though, but they have equal rights here in northern California ; )

Thanks for the linky!
