Recent Monterey Herald Articles


There have been a couple of really great articles in the Monterey Herald about The Bridge. One is written by Staff Writer Emmanuel Romero titled 'House Of Hope' This ties into the recent interest that Artist Thomas Kinkade has in painting the 'House Of Hope'. Very exciting! Emmanuel does an excellent job at portraying what that 'Lemon-Yellow' house on the corner of Central and Second is all about. The link to the article can be found HERE, but we're in the process of getting an electronic copy that we'll link to later. Take a look, and read what a wonderful article the Herald had put out for all the Peninsula to read.
The other article has to do with one of the guys staying at the House of Hope by the name of Jeff Nixon. His article can be found HERE. Marc Cabrera did a fantastic job of telling about Jeff and the passion he has for looking at life through the lens, and the influence that Ansel Adams had on his life.
My hope is that these will be just the beginning of a series of articles written about the characters and character that The Bridge. As more and more people get to know what goes on in that old Victorian house, I pray they'll be more apt to get involved with the residents. But not just the guys at The Bridge, I pray that they'll be able to see those around us that aren't as fortunate as the likes of Jeff and the others....I pray that we can all reach out to the lost and hurting, broken and devastated in our community with what The Bridge offers....hope.
