Railroad fire changed face of Suisun in 1906 / Bowen, Jerry [601] [WAYITWAS-2005-601]
With all the disasters flooding the news, I might as well add one more, although it's nowhere near on the scale of Hurricane Katrina. It happened in 1906. No, this story isn't about the San Francisco earthquake on April 18, 1906. That was already old news, at least for the local folks.

Like women's fashions, automobile bodies and hair-dos, the style of reporting news also changes with the years. In our research the past few weeks, poring over the century-old editions of our Vallejo newspapers, we have gleaned some amusing stories. The most interesting aspect is that the city editor, in the olden days, always editorialized in his reporting. Today no city desk would dare to do so.

Travel was not easy in the 1850s / Bowen, Jerry [39] [WAYITWAS-2000-39]
There has been a lot in the news lately about frustrating airport delays and gridlock on the nation's highways. Our lives have become so fast-paced even short travel interruptions are quite frustrating.

Then, And Nowadays / Wichels, Ernest [857] [WICHELS-1964-857]
When one is interested in the earlier years of Vallejo and Solano County, it seems that every issue of the current Times-Herald or Evening News-Chronicle contains at least a dozen stories that lead directly to similar events some 50 to 100 years ago.

Travelers bugged by strange bedfellows Lodgings harbored pesky critters and sleepless nights / Bowen, Jerry [660] [WAYITWAS-2006-660]
I was watching the news today regarding the infestation of bedbugs and about fleas carrying West Nile virus. The media went on and on about people traveling all over the world and the result is that diseases and bugs of all kinds are being spread over areas once free from such things.
