I never understood why people write reviews for places that are closed but I just have to do this: This is my grandfather’s newspaper. He started it in 1960 and ran it until the day he passed away in January 1975. My uncle then ran it on and off into the 80s. This newspaper was a way to unite the Portuguese community who had left their country to come to the Bay Area. Some of the articles may have been less newsworthy than others like the full page spread on my parent’s wedding, but my grandfather loved people and loved life and loved his family and this paper was his passion and his way to bring that all together. I typed the word«Portuguese» into a Unilocal search and this is the only listing that came up. I thought that was pretty amazing and I felt it was a sign that I should write about this paper and what it meant to my family and my grandfather, a wonderful man(I am told) who I never had the pleasure of meeting.
