City of San Mateo

San Mateo is a city in San Mateo County, California, in the San Francisco Bay Area. It is one of the larger suburbs on the San Francisco Peninsula, located between Burlingame to the north, Foster City to the East, and Belmont to the south.

The San Mateo Performing Arts Center, located on San Mateo High School, is one of the largest theatres on the peninsula outside of San Francisco. The College of San Mateo is also located here and is home to radio station KCSM. A heavily attended attraction has been the Bay Meadows horse-racing track. The San Mateo Arboretum in Central Park is of interest. U.S. Route 101, Interstate 280 , and California State Highway 92 pass through San Mateo. One of its sister cities is Toyonaka, Japan, which the Japanese garden in Central Park was made to commemorate.

    I was shocked to learn that the Green Party Booth submitted an entry to the mural contest and was awarded 3rd place in that event, but the art was not displayed. I personally saw the mural. It was not offensive of profane. Frankly I am a conservative who disagrees with most of the Green Party's politics. The problem is that mural was not allowed to be displayed. There was nothing objectionable about the mural and was pretty clever and kept with the theme of the event. I really feel that the Fair Officials had no right to put the mural on the floor facing the wall. I am shocked at the casual way the fair officials gave an award to the Green Party for their efforts, yet refused to show the art. Collapse
