Vegas at Rancho has not been in the NW Valley since 1985!
From now on use the 95 as the west boundary!

good. and what's sad is that liberals want to take our guns away.
Good outcome. We all have the right to be safe in our home.
That's what his sorry @ss get! What's wrong with these people beating up the elderly, breaking in homes - What's next? Hell I reside in the NW for the last 6years and have never seen or heard of such acts until this year.
