Here's What People Said Sunday About the Warriors Coming to Town

How do you think the Santa Cruz Warriors games will affect downtown business, and what about the parking issue?

Andrea Flores- Student/Counter Person

"It will bring downtown more business, but there is a give-and-take with everything. There will be more business but it will just be more hectic to park down there."

Robert Orlando- Food Service

"I think will be good for business, working at a pizza place we always get more business after events, it will make things more congested and as far as parking goes, I grew up in LA ,I'm not quite sure what you would do, we'll have to wait and see."

Joel Perdue- Self Employed

"I think the Warriors are good for the downtown Santa Cruz area. I really do. I think it will bring a lot more business downtown. With people coming early the restaurants and other businesses downtown will be popping off. It's a good thing for the downtown. Parking is already an issue,they have to do something down there,maybe build another three-story garage."

Kathy Kennelly- Heavy Equipment Operator

"Anything that brings more people with money downtown is going to help the businesses,it's a no-brainer... about the parking, I would make Front Street one-way, and have diagonal parking on both sides of the street."

Kathy Costello- Food Server

"I don't really care about basketball. Football is my game, but more people equals more business for downtown. The parking has sucked down here for years and I don't see it getting better no matter what anyone does."

I like the sound of James' new music and believe he has shown significant growth between his debutRead More album and his second. But to say he was "the real winner of his season of 'American Idol'" is disingenuous. He faltered down the stretch compared to the other finalists.

He is such an attractive and lovely young man, tho I am old enough to be his grandmother I stillRead More feel so passionate about James Durbin and his sexy hair and rock music. Makes me feel young again!

This show was exceptional, James is a natural on stage and shines with the brightest stars. I amRead More proud to say I was hooked and reeled in from the first notes sang during Idol auditions. As a life long lover of a variety of music I can safely say I see nothing but great things in this young man's future. He had me first as a singer,soon thereafter as a performer and now as James DURBIN, singer, song writer, performer and artist. He continues to grow and push himself toward stardom and I am proud to be Right Behind him all the way.
