Are you staying cool? While Raging Waters struggles to reopen (its ribbon cutting as CaliBunga was postponed last week), Fremont has an amazing water park (open to non-residents too!). That’s one reason why Fremont residents are happier than any place in the United States, according to Wallethub. We explore that subject this week in this week’s Metro, just as we welcome the Tri City Voice to our family of publications.

Matt Mahan talks about the steps that took him from a small Watsonville kid to potentially San Jose's next mayor.
“The city [San Jose] has given me incredible opportunities. I just fell in love with it when I came here. Maybe it is a little bit of nostalgia from my youth, but I came here in the ’90s and it just felt like a city on the rise.”
