July 2010

For 16 years the City of Carlsbad has had the leadership of a man who has done everything in his power to make Carlsbad a place to be proud of. Now Carlsbad is no Mayberry, but in the world we live in today, Carlsbad is not so Bad.

Yes there are problems and yes there are issues, no doubt. But as a community, the community that Bob Forrest sees when he looks around, and the leadership that he has given to us… we can create the vision of the man who tried to make a difference. Every day he tried add this is what true leadership is all about, giving your all everyday to make a difference.

Thank you Bob Forrest for all your years of service to Carlsbad, and Barbara for her support.

You always hear people talk about how things used to be. We used to have block parties, we used to have a quaint main street, we used to have sidewalk sales.
Those were the days. Time moves on and in that time there is a rejuvenation of those ideas. We have rediscovered all those things.
Block parties – YEP Canyon street from Fox street to Mermod
Sidewalk sales – YEP Canyon street from Fox street to Mermod
Quaint Mainstreet – YEP Canyon Street

All the things that people miss about small town America we have in Carlsbad. With the personal touch of locally owned stores that you just don't get with the large chain stores.
