A beautiful day. Thanks to BHA for the posters and Copenhagen for the cookies. All very popular!

Jennifer Pfaff

You are very welcome:)
I was wondering if it also seems to others that this new fleet has a much louder (albeit lower-toned) horn? Or maybe they just are supposed to honk more frequently in the pre-dawn hours?

Too loud. Too many times.
Maybe the thieves stealing the copper can swipe the horns…

The grand re-opening is tonight all. Some freebie giveaways and a chance to see the reworked exhibits.

Wonderful night on the Avenue and the museum was packed with visitors! Santa was there as well. People stood in line to get in and take photographs, ask questions and tell stories.

Russ Cohen had a beautiful vision for appreciating our town’s history and citizens. He has done a fun, creative and engaging job of remodeling the museum.

The DJ was a bit delayed, but did run a front page piece on the reopening:


The Burlingame Hillsborough History Museum has reopened and is a testament to the history of the two cities and a way to learn from the past, Burlingame Historical Society Vice President Russ Cohen said.

Opened to the public for the Burlingame tree lighting festivities Friday, Dec. 6, there are both traditional and nontraditional exhibits — featuring displays on the movie palace and the impact of the car, among others.

Those interested in true crime might also find some scintillating details about crimes committed throughout Burlingame’s history at the museum as well.

Another especially exciting exhibit uses lenticular graphics to show then-and-now images of Burlingame and Hillsborough.

“We have a whole wall of those types of graphics — when you look at the wall and rock back and forth, if you rock one way, you see an old building and if you rock the other way, you see what’s there today,” Cohen said.
-----------------
The Then And Now lenticulars are fantastic. First Sunday of the month-- 1 to 4pm going forward!
