Posted on August 4, 2008 by Ron Largent

Library is no place for vagrants

Posted on July 16, 2008 by Ron Largent

Recently I visited the new Redding Library about 3 p.m. As I approached the library (which, by the way, is a great place), I noticed a whole bunch of folks sitting around outside the front entrance. Many were just there,… Continue Reading →

So what’s involved in fighting fires?

Posted on July 6, 2008 by Ron Largent

Last Thursday morning I was going to a business meeting next door to the Shasta Fairgrounds in Anderson. I came across more firetrucks and fire vehicles than I had ever seen in one place, and it dawned on me, “This… Continue Reading →

What’s Going On . . . with Trader Joe’s? . . . and some other thoughts

Posted on June 29, 2008 by Ron Largent

A number of folks have been asking, “When is Trader Joe’s coming to Redding?” Good question. I drove by Hilltop and Browning and saw walls going up, but still had some questions. The most accurate answer I got was from… Continue Reading →

  • Comment on ‘Out of tears’: Henderson Ditch neighbors dread a wet winter, and for good reason by Mahmoud Darwish
    I'd hate to live in a tiny community with dozens clamouring for someone *ELSE* to clear brush from communal infrastructure. Why didn't they organize a neighborhood work party/BBQ? It's also a massive oversight for the city to allow open/permeable land to be developed into impermeable office buildings/parking lots despite knowing since the '60s this ditch […]
  • Comment on ‘Out of tears’: Henderson Ditch neighbors dread a wet winter, and for good reason by Steve

    I live close to this neighborhood/street...and those lights are an absolute eyesore. From a few blocks over it looks like there is a high school football game being lit up. I know plenty of people/neighbors that were very upset when these things went up, and now they have to deal with it. You shouldn't walk […]
