Campaigning for colonoscopies

Posted on October 22, 2008 by Ron Largent

I went through my third colonoscopy recently. My first was in early 2004 after I discovered, as a 64-year-old very healthy and active businessman, some symptoms that I might have a problem. The first results found a malignant tumor —… Continue Reading →

Who said we’re in a bad market?

Posted on September 18, 2008 by Ron Largent

Part 1 I am so sick of hearing “bad market” I almost puke. We are not — repeat, not — in a bad market for homebuyers right now. We are in one heck of a good market, regardless of the… Continue Reading →

McDonald’s… Here one day, gone the next

Posted on September 9, 2008 by Ron Largent

If you drove by McDonald’s on east Cypress Avenue on Sunday, all looked normal. What you didn’t see were the plans in place to start the “rebuild of McDonald’s.” Early Monday morning, the old, established first McDonald’s in Redding came… Continue Reading →

How about a decent surface for Farmers Market?

Posted on September 1, 2008 by Ron Largent

For the two thousand folks (give or take) who shop at the Redding Certified Farmers Market downtown on Saturday mornings, the question still is, does anyone care about the uneven gravel and rock surface on which half the vendors have… Continue Reading →

Commercial real estate: Is it the right time to buy?

Posted on August 20, 2008 by Ron Largent

Part 2 We hear it is a “buyer’s market,” and no doubt it is for the average homebuyer. But is it for the commercial real estate buyer or seller? It goes back to basics: location, location, location. Today, Redding is… Continue Reading →

Gridlock in Redding? No way!

Posted on August 16, 2008 by Ron Largent

But that is exactly what happened Thursday morning. It started with an accident and resulting hazardous-material spill on Highway 44 as you cross the bridge over the Sacramento River, and followed with a multicar accident on I-5 as you approached… Continue Reading →

    In reply to Steve Towers. Lest we forget, It was the toxic stew of anti vaxxers, misguided 1st amendment zealots, the shasta county rednecks at the palomino club, the local woody militia, phgwmfjones, the stupid right wing radio downtown, all the flag wearing right wingers, et al. and reverge anselmo that brought us the maga […]

    In reply to Steve Towers. Your final sentence describes a certain orange oval office occupant, too. I watched in amazement his self aggrandizing speech to the UN assembly.

  • Comment on Beloved insulated travel tumbler: Healthy obsession or beverage binky? by Steve Towers
    In reply to Ross Reno. Beware the cherry-picking of data to fake-prove the hypothesis, especially if it's coming from the MAHA crowd.
