| Shop Downtown Redwood City |
| Captain's Sk8 & Barber Shop
 Captain's is an independently owned and operated Sk8 collective and barber shop
located in downtown Redwood City.
Captain's proudly offers a unique shopping experience for anyone interested in hard-to-find lifestyle brands, or traditional barber services.
Captain's retail selections are largely fueled by the skateboarding, music and motorcycle industries, as well as American-made and handcrafted products. The shelves are stocked with exciting brands you won't see at every mall or chain store and the apparel selection is often infused with handcrafted goods from local artists, metal smiths, photographers, welders, etc.
In addition, the Barber Shop is like stepping back in time to a true community gathering place, a throwback to the classic barbering experience with a modern twist.
The owner who's been skateboarding since the 80's and his hairstylist wife bring years of real-life knowledge and passion to the industries housed under Captain's roof.

Up next at the Dragon Theatre: Wild Boy by Oliver Goldstick
Based on the critically acclaimed memoir "Not Even Wrong," "Wild Boy" tells two stories - that of Paul and Jennifer Collins, who learn that their toddler may be autistic, and that of Peter "the Wild Boy," an 18th century boy found mute and feral in the woods by King George I. Written by Oliver Goldstick, "Wild Boy" looks at what it really means to be human.

| Theater Way Street Closure |
The Community Development Department and Fire  Department have been concerned with the high amount of pedestrian activity and potential conflicts with vehicle traffic on Theater Way. To address the safety concern, which is heightened due to people walking in the roadway, the City has temporarily closed Theatre Way to vehicle traffic.
With the removal of the median, cinema drop-offs may now occur on Broadway, in the loading zone adjacent to the Broadway and Theatre Way intersection. Emergency vehicles will have access to the street.

New York Times best selling author, Julie
Lythcott-Haims spent a decade as Stanford University's Dean of Freshmen, where she was known for both her fierce advocacy for students and her equally fierce critique of the growing trend of parental involvement in the day-to-day lives of college students. Her New York Times best-selling book "How to Raise an Adult: Break Free of the Overparenting Trap and Prepare Your Kid for Success" draws on research, conversations with admissions officers, educators, and employers, and on her own insights as a mother and as a student dean to highlight the ways in which overparenting harms children, their stressed-out parents, and society at large. While empathizing with the parental hopes and, especially, fears that lead to overhelping Lythcott-Haims offers practical alternative strategies that underline the importance of allowing children to make their own mistakes and develop the resilience, resourcefulness, and inner determination necessary for success.
