A Redding couple is putting a new twist on garage sales: The proceeds from the weekend sale will go to the North State Symphony.
Jeanne and Dennis Szody will offer all kinds of neat stuff — computer gear, clothing, toys, small appliances, even a small boat — at the sale, which runs 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at 3530 Greenstone Place, which is off Foothill near The Knolls.

- Mark your calendars for the State of Downtown event at the Cascade Theatre on Thursday, April 30. The free event begins with a reception at 5 p.m. and a program of awards and performances that begins at 6 p.m. Sponsored by Viva Downtown and the Downtown Redding Business Association.
- Movie I Watched on the Dreadmill: “Disturbia,” starring Shia LaBeouf and David Morse. A modern take on the Hitchcock classic “Rear Window,” this film centers on a teen who’s under house arrest with one of those electronic anklets. With time on his hands, he spies on the neighbors, including one who may be a serial killer. Yipes.
