This pantry provides food for about 20 families a week in our town who are in need. Last week Megan appeared with a car...

My wife and I are new members of Fallbrook Fairplan. We recently attended the Fallbrook Planning group meeting in which they decided on a recommendation on the “3P’s” project at the corner of I-15 and SR 76.

We believe that the Planning Group recommendation to the Board of Supervisors is a reasonable one considering the political realities of the situation. The political reality is that the Board of Supervisors, none of whom live or work...
