Morning News Round-Up -- 11.17.09: A mani/pedi with your downtown?

Stanley Hilton, 60, of Hillsborough is suing SFO, claiming the loud roar of jet planes over his house is responsible for his divorce.

Burlingame says 'see ya' to one of its political fixtures… Rosalie O’Mahony.

Rancho Corral de Tierra near Montara is $5 million closer to being a National Park.
