Haha, "a whiff". Like manton, I didn't get the smell the last time through, but I simply thought it must not have been garlic season, whenever that may be. I suspected it was pretty country, though I've never stopped.

To be honest, I've never smelled garlic in Gilroy, regardless of the time of year. Maybe it's more prevalent south of the city but I've never caught a whiff while passing through the 152.

The first time through Gilroy, admittedly probably in 1982, I could smell the garlic from 5 miles away (though this is probably not a surprise, since I doubt they actually grow the stuff in town).

Gilroy definitely used to smell overwhelmingly like garic. The last time I was there it did not but I did not know why. I went to this cheezy little amusement park called Gilroy Gardens. It was about ten million degrees. To this day I have no idea why we went when the Boardwalk is so much closer and so much cooler.

isn't that where the outlet malls are?

I love the fact that its 70miles from San Francisco but you can get there in 55min because is mostly super freeway going there. I drove my parents there (on a weekday) and was surprised how fast/quick the drive was.

I just drove my wife to penn sation from williamsburg and it took 45min..... a 6.5mile drive one way.
