Be My Valentine, Campbell

There are so many reasons to love the Orchard City. Why not wear your love on your sleeve, or shirt or even tote!

 

It's Valentine's Day today, and while everyone is doing something for that someone special, we wanted to put something together for you, our offical Valentine.

In the time that I have been working in Campbell (a little more than two years), no matter what the story is, what the event is or who I'm interviewing, one thing has been made clear: people really love Campbell.

We even put together a "Reasons to Love Campbell" list last year to showcase some of those reasons. 

A few on that list include:

Reason No. 7: "I love the fact that when you meet a stranger on the street, they greet you. That’s the way a town should be." Sally Howe

Reason No. 25: "I love Campbell because I was born here, because my roots are here and because Campbell residents are so welcoming." Dan Furtado

Reason No. 33: "I love Campbell because it's a place you can give to and it gives back." Mayor Mike Kotowski

()

Campbell is a place that elicits a response of love and loyalty and pride, so much so that you can even buy clothing items, totes and water bottles that scream your commitment to your community.

The Campbell Community Center offers I Heart Campbell T-shirts ($15 for adults, $10 children) and water bottles ($5) in its office, room C-31 Monday through Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Fridays from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

At Simply Smashing! in downtown Campbell, Campbell lovers can purchase T-shirts ($29.50), Henleys ($38) and totes ($18) with the image of the Campbell watertower from a photo taken by former Campbell business owner Dana Smith.

So you tell us, why do you love Campbell?

I am impressed with CalTrans ability to do the cleanup, but the problem of homelessness does not goRead More away. Until we find a way to help these people in need, the camps will just move to another location, and everything will start all over again. The homeless need help - whether they want it or not. It's time to get that ball rolling.

Who is Tony Faber? Here is some history from a family member. My name is Karen Hunt and myRead More grandfather is and was Albert Jacob Faber. He owned and ran that bike shop up until his death in 1975. Subsequent to grandpa's death the house/building became the property of my grandmother, Lucille Faber. Upon her death, the property went to my mother, Jackie Faber-Cornick. In 1978, the business, not the building was sold to Alex Lariviere and he has conducted business since. The building was never sold and belongs to my mom, Jackie Cornick. It was her great-grandparents home back in the 1920's. We are shocked and saddened by this tremendous loss. At this time, we are trying to decide the fate of that beloved building. We are currently awaiting forensics tests, engineering and structural reports, and working with the City to keep it safe and prevent it from being vandalized and becoming a blight. I'm happy to answer any questions you might have about the history of Faber's Cyclery. My grandfather was a man of character and integrity. Sadly, neither of his two sons became involved in the business. With that said, anybody claiming to be a Faber or son of Albert Jacob, is just misrepresenting the truth. Thank you for sharing your story and memories! Very truly yours, Karen Hunt Great grandaughter of the owner of the Original Fabers Cyclery.
