I Saw You: Mr. San Jose Knows the Way

Thanks to Gary Singh for pointing me to the Peace Center on Seventh Street on a recent Wednesday night. There was a talk by a witness to the storied Refugee Caravan that night. I had seen a poster, which was subsequently torn down. As luck would have it, however, I spotted Gary walking by just 15 minutes before the event, and he provided an educated guess as to where it would be. Of course Mr. San Jose was correct and I was able to find the event. Again, many thanks to Gary for his help.

I Saw You is an anonymous “man on the street” column. Email your rants and raves about co-workers or any badly behaving citizens to iS*****@*******ws.com, or send to 380 S. First St, San Jose, 95113. Submissions should stick to about 100 words.
