From the May 19, 2011 State of the City address at the Port of Stockton:
Downtown Stockton is nearly deserted near The Record today. Much is happening, though, in the area around Martin Luther King Jr. Plaza. A prayer breakfast was hosted at the Stockton Arena this morning. A parade circled the plaza near the Cesar Chavez Central Branch Library as well. Look for coverage of today’s events in Tuesday’s [...]
On Thursday I shot video of 55,000-pounds of snow being delivered for weekend activities happening on the Miracle Mile. The happenings start at 3 p.m. tomorrow. Record Managing Editor Don Blount was driving down Pacific Avenue on his way back to work a little while ago and shot this photo while traffic was stopped in [...]
The second Tweet below caught my eye this morning; it references a standoff on Pershing Avenue. ApartmentsRent4 seems to imply that the Twitter account hypes apartments available for rent. If that’s the case, the user needs to update the settings on their Twitter bot.

I came across the thesis, titled “Stockton, CA: Growing Up,” yesterday on Vimeo.com, a video site I often visit for inspiration.

A sizable crowd of Twitter and social media savvy people got together at Valley Brew Nov. 12 for the first ever Stockton TweetUp. The event, put together by Matt Beckwith, Wes Rhea and Rod Villagomez (who I failed to acknowledge as one of the organizers in a previous post, mea culpa) welcomed what looked like [...]
I attended the Tracy Tweet-up at Tracy Virtual Office last night and got to meet a lot of the people I’ve seen/follow on Twitter, including Mike Pihlman, the owner of the office. Pihlman sent a link out this morning to all those who attended with photos of the Tweet-up. He also used Justin.tv to broadcast [...]
