Q: I’m hoping you will write about the sideshow last Sunday in Richmond that involved 200 cars. Participants were throwing illegal fireworks at police and there was one critical injury, according to the Grandview Independent. An important angle on this story is the support that the mayor and city council have shown in recognizing sideshows as culturally important and, therefore, they say participants should not be criminalized.
Ellen Sasaki, Richmond
A: This sideshow sounds particularly dangerous. Safety is one of the significant concerns with sideshows, generally, and with this one, in particular. There are other concerns, too. We’ve covered sideshows in Roadshow before, and readers have very strong and varying opinions on them.
Q: I have been wanting to write you for quite a while. I live in Pleasanton. So now that we are back at work, the traffic is back, too. I live off Highway 84, so Interstate 680 is bumper-to-bumper.
I finally took the time to concentrate on the area around me instead of fuming while going 15 mph. I never noticed so many things before: small housing communities, farms, etc. As I drove 680 near the interchange with 84, I noticed on top of a hill there is an area that is fenced off. There is a business-type building (not a farm or home) but not highly visible from 680. I just want to know what it is. It’s something that has made me quite curious.

A: Sometimes as traffic gets worse, it forces us to slow down and take in the world around us more than we do when we’re in go-go-go mode. As for what that building is, I’m not sure. Does anyone else know?
