As we welcome September, summer in the City of Santa Ana is winding down. Still, there is no shortage of activities and events on the community calendar.

The month of September is one of many, very exciting months to enjoy in San Francisco. As summer comes to a close, you definitely don't want to spend those precious days at home, understandably so. There are a ton of activities to partake in and what's even better is that during the month of September, Goldstar offers a variety of tickets to San Francisco events, tours, and other activities at up to half-off the full retail price. Some of the exciting events include but not limited to; Night Segway Tour, where you can cruise around the streets of SF on a Segway and don't worry, if you have never been on one, you'll be allowed to get comfortable with it first. However, if you're not into that type of cruising, there's a more relaxing way to do so. You can find yourself on a 2 hour Golden Gate Champagne and Mimosa Cruise, where you'll get breathtaking views of Fisherman's Wharf, Fort Mason, Fort Point and the oh so famous Golden Gate Bridge. Tickets to both of those events are currently up to 50% off. Whatever your taste, San Francisco will always have something going on that'll be right up your alley.

ADT Pulse camera catches burglar on video and the Walnut Creek Police Department ends up catching the suspect. The combination of video from surveillance cameras and social media are helping to catch thieves and put them behind bars.

As a local security company, it is always great to hear when burglars are caught. Because security cameras have become so affordable with security systems like ADT Pulse, more and more homeowners are getting home security cameras installed. With the ability to spread the word through social media, the videos are now being used to catch the burglars. 

Summer is in full force as we welcome the month of August in Long Beach. With that being said, there are a ton of events to check out this month right here in Long Beach! Don't miss the Long Beach Jazz Festival, running August 9th through the 12th at Rainbow Lagoon Park. The line up is quite impressive this year including recording artists Tyrese, Lalah Hathaway, Al Jarreau and Ramsey Lewis. A little later in the month, August 22 through 24, we have the Long Beach BBQ Festival featuring the best BBQ in town, all you can eat and drink, as well as music and dancing. This is a family friendly event, so be sure to bring the kids, 12 and under are free!

As we approach the middle of August, we can feel summer coming to an end as our kids head back to school and the weather starts cooling down. But while it's still summer, let's see what Stockton's got in store for us! From August 22-31, 2014 it's the city-wide Stockton Beer Week, featuring locally owned breweries, bars, pubs and restaurants hosting beer tastings and beer dinners. It's a great time to be outdoors, spend quality time with friends and family and enjoy this near perfect weather! And always a friendly reminder, "please drink responsibly." Hold on... the fun doesn't stop there! In addition to the festivities of Stockton Beer Week, on August 23rd the Breadfruit Tree Restaurant will celebrate is 19th annual "Reggae on the Delta." With live salsa, cumbia, latin jazz and of course reggae music, you are sure to dance the night away! With all the events and entertainment, it's hard to stay at home and even harder to think about a potential burglary. Protecting your Stockton home with an ADT Home Security System will allow you the peace of mind to enjoy the finer things in life, like being able to go out and spend time with your family and not have to worry about your home. Be sure to check Stockton crime so that you'll have the most current statistics about home burglaries, auto theft, home invasions and robberies in your neighborhood.

As we prepare to welcome the month of August in Los Angeles, summer 2014 is kicking off to a wonderful start. There are a ton of local activities going on this month that you should definitely check out if your schedule permits! Who doesn't love food and movies? Saturday evenings throughout August catch Street Food Cinema usually held in Exposition Park. Grab some tickets to catch a movie in the park along with some savory street food and enjoy an outdoor picnic like no other. August 21-24 don't miss out on the 4th Annual Los Angeles Food and Wine Festival.  If you are on a budget this month remember there are some excellent free concert options, Jazz at LACMA or the Twilight Concert line up at the Santa Monica Pier. 

As we get into the month of August, we begin to realize that our kids are going back to school which ultimately means that summer is coming to an end. With the few warm and beautiful days we have left, let's enjoy them! San Jose is one of the most exciting cities to be in. Considering, it is the largest city in Northern California, fun activities, great food and diversity are certainly things this lively city doesn't lack. Even though summer will soon be over, August is filled with tons of great events to enjoy in the heart of San Jose. From July 1, 2014 - August 20, 2014, Downtown San Jose will host its annual Starlight Cinemas- Free Summer Outdoor Movies event at various downtown locations. You can grab your kids, a blanket, snacks or even a meal and enjoy the warm summer nights watching 1980's classics.
