Santa Rosa Brewery's Vending Machine Dispenses $8 Art, Not Snacks

Instead, rows of postcard-size artwork wait to be dispensed, part of a project called Chain Letter Gallery that is turning a routine beer run into a small art-buying experience.

Healdsburg’s Michelin-Starred Troubadour Featured in Apple TV’s “Knife Edge”

Healdsburg’s Troubadour Bread & Bistro is getting some serious screen time in an Apple TV documentary series executive produced by celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay. That may be surprising for a neighborhood sandwich shop. But Troubadour has a second identity: At night, it transforms into an intimate fine-dining restaurant. And that’s only part of the story.

Depot dreams evoke glory days gone by

Whether or not the SMART board settles on a Harmon Street location for the Healdsburg station, or the one on Vine Street, a silent force is at work distorting the gravity around the discussion. Housing, population density, parking spaces, available jobs—all can be measured against common metrics, but a large part of the appeal of the Hudson Street site is based on its history, if not outright nostalgia for train travel.

Tractors in full twinkle rule this whimsical wine country parade

DRAPING STRINGS OF LIGHTS... across all sorts of large objects and enormous yard features, from porches to pergolas, has become a whimsical way of life for those people who adore decorating for the holidays. Other sizable spots, including garage doors, swing sets, and oversized gates also get the glittery treatment each year. When it comes to vehicles, however, the decorating remains generally demure: You might spy a wreath hooked to the front of a car's grill or perhaps an elf doll placed near a car's rear window. But there's a town in Calistoga that likes to fabulously festoon all sorts of things on wheels, especially the huge machines that dutifully serve our communities on farms or by delivering food and a plethora of much-needed goods. It's the Lighted Tractor Parade, a colorful and quirky Calistoga tradition, and big trucks, hefty construction vehicles, lengthy flatbeds and other on-the-roll mega machines make merry appearances in the popular procession, one of the only events of its twinkly type.
