GoMilpitas Produced by Sunbeams
I am excited to announce that GoMilpitas.com of Milpitas, CA, is now being produced using sunbeams.

In 2018 we added some more efficient solar panels on our garage roof. The salesman and the installation crew from REC Solar did a wonderful job Thursday and Friday, April 17-18, 2008.

Litter Problem Solved
A Milpitas Mom’s Favorite Joke. A few years ago, the City of Milpitas had a litter problem. A once-clean section of town had become an eyesore because people had stopped using the trash cans.
