The City Council on Tuesday will decide whether to raise its gift limits from $50 to $200, which equates to a higher number of free meals or tickets they can receive at networking luncheons, business conferences and nonprofit celebrations. The item is on the consent agenda, meaning it will be approved without discussion - unless an official pulls it to discuss with colleagues.

"The truth is these global sporting events are incredible, but most of our residents won't get the opportunity to go either because they can't afford a ticket, or just logistically it won't be possible, and so our opportunity is to create a robust fan experience, from local legends going into classrooms to low-cost public concerts downtown that really help everybody take pride in our city and celebrate this unique moment on the world stage."

Seeing the creative names of indie bands showing off their stuff can be an unexpected delight, and the upcoming show presented by Heavy Lemon at the Jade Cathay restaurant is no exception.

Pulled along by the forces of suburban wasteland exploration, I recently reacquainted myself with the ancient-for-San Jose Caribbees Center. Located between the fairgrounds and Andrew Hill High School and adjacent to a few sprawling mobile home parks left over from the '60s, Caribbees Center-with or without an apostrophe-unfolded as a long bustling strip of shops across a few different buildings, almost entirely Vietnamese.
