Thanks to Los Gatos Patch reader Ira Spector for sending in this interesting photo of a crow resting on a table at the local McDonald's restaurant.
Ira Spector shot this great photo of a crow at the Los Gatos McDonald's restaurant on Los Gatos Boulevard. He wanted to share it with our Los Gatos Patch online family. Ira is the husband of Los Gatos Vice Mayor Barbara Spector. Crows are considered to be pretty smart birds. As evidenced by this photo, this one has an open beak as if making a call. It seems to be taking a break and choosing this spot along the boulevard to grab a morsel of food.

Retail marketplace and cafe with beer and wine service receives permit; to be called Cento Nove.

"Based on anecdotal information, past experience, and the outreach process, there does not appear to be a broad consensus of downtown stakeholders regarding …

Former owner of Domus garnered four out of five votes Monday night.
The Los Gatos Planning Commission now has a new member in Margaret Smith, who beat out eight other applicants before Monday night's Town Council meeting.
