Starting six months before the 2016 presidential election, director Jim Stern put his life on hold and traveled through red states to interview and spend time with Donald Trump supporters from different backgrounds. It was a search for insights and answers, for anything that could explain the billionaire's surging appeal.

While they are confined to the house, the hostages and their captors, who speak different languages, are forced to find ways to communicate. Music sparks a shared sense of comradeship and even love, uniting the disparate housemates as they form unexpected bonds, overcome their differences, and discover their shared humanity.

Do You Know This Handsy Person?

Posted on October 4th, 2018 by Downtown Campbell

Does anyone recognize this handsy person? He's wanted for jewelry theft totalling several thousand dollars from one of our shops. Here's a short surveilance video of the theft happening.

If you know this person or have information that might help the Campbell Police find him, please call the Campbell Police Investigation Unit at 408-871-5190.

You've probably noticed scooters like these scattered around Downtown Campbell lately. The Campbell City Council has not made a decision one way or another on what to do about them, but is expected to do so within a month from now. In the meantime, they're being conditionally allowed if you follow some rules.

The following list is not comprehensive so there may be other things you need to do to keep you and the scooter you're riding in good standing.

  • You must have a drivers license to ride them.
  • Do not ride on the sidewalk.
  • Follow all traffic rules when riding (obey stop signs).
  • No parking directly in front of buildings or walkways.

From what I've heard, the Campbell PD has been lenient so far, but breaking any of these rules could result in a ticket and a significant fine.
