New Stop Signs To Increase Safety & Slow Traffic At least two new stop signs have been installed in northern Rossmoor to increase safety and (hopefully) slow traffic. The intersections of Donnie Ann and Donnis (stop for Donnis travelers) and Loch Lomond and Chesney (stop for
Loch Lomond travelers) received the new stop signs. Please continue to drive safely and use caution on the streets of Rossmoor. It's good for everyone. After School Discovery...

Each of these pickups can contain up to FOUR items. So there is no need to drag your nasty looking couch or old box springs out behind a local store’s dumpster or fill up a neighbor’s construction bin. Just contact CR&R and request a "Bulky Item Pickup". (hint: click the bulky item pick up link on the lower right of the page) At no additional charge. What could be easier? Additionally, the RCSD will host a bulky item pick up on the morning of Saturday, July 25th. This free bulky item event is in addition to your two pickups at your home.

Griffin Gazette shares how trends from 2016 are already making their way back to being current once again. “New year, new me” is the typical saying for every new year we enter. Somehow, this old famous saying seems to be the opposite for 2026, bringing back trends from decades ago, for a chance to refresh. This year, pop culture
trends are returning from the 2010s, along with the creative and nostalgic energy. A decade later, 2026 offers another chance to reboot and refresh from the toxicity brought by social media and unhealthy habits built over the decade. This popular sentiment, mostly seen on social media platforms, arises from Gen Z reflecting on a past culture, longing for a more optimistic aesthetic,
along with bringing back trends such as fashion and music from a decade ago. While some believe we should move on and away from this era, others are yearning for a return to the peace and spirit of this time period. “Physical media seems more interesting than the advanced technology we have now. We are moving too fast into the future and want to stay in the comfort of nostalgia,” said Los Alamitos High
School sophomore Kaylyn Kekacs. A trend that has been recently popular is physical media over online media. For many years, physical media such as CDs, vinyls and magazines were declining with the rise of instant media such as online streaming and news.
