Costco to Host Book Signing for San Leandro

MT. PLEASANT, S.C. - May 30, 2013 - PRLog -- Costco to Host Book Signing for Local Author
Cynthia Vrilakas Simons will be available to sign copies of San Leandro

Cherry festivals, Holy Ghost festas, oyster pirates, tractors, squatters, Portuguese—the many threads of San Leandro’s past have woven a rich historical tapestry underlying the modern city of San Leandro. These 15 square miles between San Francisco Bay and the East Bay hills have been an Ohlone village, a Spanish rancho, a small farm town, the Portuguese capital of the West, an industrial center, and a major metropolitan suburb as a succession of new people has transformed the area.
