Designs on Healdsburg Living

Ever since the American Institute of Architects (AIA) came to Healdsburg, the town has turned increasingly self-reflective, attentive to its brand in a way that goes beyond just tourism. It’s now not just a wine destination but a design destination, where city planners, architects, sustainability...

Goodbye, Mr. Pinot

Joe Rochioli was one of those people whose chosen trade had an impact far beyond his friends, his family or the town in which he grew up—Healdsburg. He helped start the Future Farmers Fair (still held on Memorial Day weekend), hit home runs for...

‘The Row’: The other Mill district

Business sign at 44 Mill St.
It’s with an eye toward making the most of that most valuable of assets—parking in Healdsburg—that Mat Humphrey is filling up the available leases on the property at 44 Mills St. one by one, and staggering their prime hours so the lot is productively filled as much as possible. The highest and best use, one might say, to echo the realtor’s mantra.

SMART train is getting closer to Healdsburg

Daily service to Windsor on SMART
The Town of Windsor is requesting Federal Railroad Administration approval to implement “quiet zones” as the trains approach the station. Routine train horn use at designated crossings will be eliminated between Shiloh Road and the station, except in emergency or safety-critical situations. The hope is that the quiet zones will become effective as early as mid-July, though it will possibly be somewhat later.

Shakespeare in the Piazza, with pizza

'Two Gentlemen of Verona' at Bacchus Landing
'Two Gentlemen of Verona' is one of Shakespeare’s earlier works. I’ve always thought it was one of the Bard’s easier plays to follow, written before he got all “Shakespeare-y.” It’s the tale of besties Valentine and Proteus whose friendship is tested by, of course, a woman.

The trouble with texting :)

Actors Brady Morales-Woolery and Lizzie Calogero
Who hasn't been tripped up by the slip of a finger while texting with family or been infuriated with ducking autocorrect? Who hasn’t mistakenly wished for the death of their grandfather in a text chain with a sibling and then found themselves exploring options for doing so? That's the premise of 'The Burdens,' the play now on stage at The 222...

Gym, Theater Dedicated to Drew Esquivel

Friends of Drew Esquivel
Perhaps for the first time in its young life, the new Drew Esquivel Hall on the Healdsburg High School campus boasted a bleacher full of fans—wrestling fans, drama fans, fans of the school district and of Drew Esquivel himself—all come to recognize the dedication...

The Ruse fends off added conditions 

The Ruse B&B in Healdsburg.
The phrase “good neighbor” dominated the conversation like a motif in Mozart, with each side clearly on different sides of the definition. Team Ruse persistently argued their plans had been vetted by the state and national health organizations, and met local ordinances. For the appellants, however, being a good neighbor meant something different: outreach, compromise and keeping promises.
