Eh, if Venice can still lay claim to Venetian glass despite actual glass blowing being nearly illegal within Venice (what's now commonly called Venetian glass is actually made in nearby Murano due to strict fire codes within Venice itself), Gilroy can survive as a figurative garlic capital.

Aww, I hardly think Murano isn't Venice. Same public transportation system and everything. You can practically sneeze on one from the other. That's like saying the Lido isn't Venice. Sure, it's on the other side of the canal... but...

Casa de Fruta, is that the place on the south side of the freeway? Heading West from Gilroy? Interesting looking place...
