Fiction Addiction drives first mobile bookstore into Redding
They started out as book lovers. Now, Kayla Rhodes and Falen Shaw are in charge of what is likely Redding's first mobile book store. Since opening Fiction Addiction Mobile Bookstore in late May, the pair have toodled their tricked-out trailer to places where they hope readers gather. So far, they've appeared at locations including Black Rose Coffee & Tea, Pourboys Tapyard, Sublime Cake Design and the Redding Pride Festival at Whistlestop Park. One recent morning, the pair set up on the parking lot next to Kaleidoscope Coffee Company on Athens Avenue in Redding. Shoppers that day browsed through shelves stocked floor to ceiling with more than 400 books. Categories ranged from science fiction to romance, and from thrillers to "romantasy," a popular genre blending romance and magic that features young heroines in a fantasy world who fall for a sexy love interest who’s usually not human. Romance of all kinds looms large on the shelves. That includes sub genres dark romance, sports romance and cowboy romance — all Shaw's favorites.

Redding’s ‘lost’ Black neighborhood: A vibrant community dismantled by development
Back in the 1950s, Redding's Linden Avenue and the surrounding community was the the place for Black people to see and be seen. Some Black residents owned their own homes or ran businesses in the tight-knit community, including hairdressing shops that women set up in their houses' back rooms; a church; a laundromat; a small restaurant; rental units; and a neighborhood convenience store stocked with chips and beer. Employees working on what was then the Southern Pacific Railroad came to eat at a diner then operating on Linden Avenue, as did community residents and other visitors. Even decades later, longtime Redding resident Linda Morgan said she still carries fond memories of the cafe's tasty homemade chili, which she said drew people from miles around. She also recalled that after their meals people stayed at the cafe to shimmy to music played at the establishment.
