Spotlight on Auburn Businesses Part I: Carpe Vino is No Compromise

This is the first in a Series of blogs where I will be highlighting new and old businesses unique to Auburn. This is my way of supporting our town's "Think Auburn First" campaign, which I read about in the Sentinel and was reminded of more recently in Gary Moffat's column, "Don't Drive to Roseville; Think Auburn First", a few months ago.

In his article, Gary mentioned several r [...]

It is being said that 2008 is the beginning of a major shift in growth/change/upheaval and one can certainly appreciate the economic reality with higher gas prices, etc; but life does, hopefully, go on. Ran into good pal Syl Bruce as she headed over to Depoe Bay on High Street where I joined her and bumped into fellow golfer Donna Arz who was with Jack Bangs. While waiting for our order at this very busy coffee house, chatted with AJ columnist Susan Rushton whom Bruce brought up to s [...]

Met KAHI Sales Manager Bob Ripley today for a pleasant lunch at The Monkey Cat in Downtown Auburn where we were told by owner Trish that husband Jim Bril is recovering from knee surgery and will return in a month.

Pleased with my choices in Auburn, I've been connecting with pals Spencer and Donna at The Ridge where divine splendor awaits. This week on KAHI CONNECTIONS, "the legend" jazz singer Cheri Murphy drops by to entertain and connect with our community at The Round Table at Courthouse Coffee.

Although I have not yet experienced the fare at Joe Caribe, the newest eatery on Lincoln Way in Downtown Auburn, I have heard excellent feedback from those who have joined me at The Round Table and I look forward to savoring those "tasty tacos" as I seem to crave more spicy and zesty foods during these grey, winter days. And let me say that I continue to enjoy the good food at Lou La Bontes where I was joined the other day by pal Donna Arz and Jack Bangs. We all enjoyed our [...]

Kudos to KAHI Manager Jerry Henry who pulled off quite a nice happening at the Monkey Cat restaurant in Downtown Auburn.

COMFORT FOOD

loy@foothill.net — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 14:43:11 +0100

It's that time when we can all sink into our nests and partake of comfort food. I just enjoyed the home-style chicken-noodle soup dished out by the always-smiling Moe, owner of Locksley Lane Deli. And then I must share my taste delight over Cook Bessie's Badass Beans, Bessie being the cook at Granny's Cafe on Palm Avenue. Bessie never quits and whipped up a moistly succulent Sassy Spice Cake with mouthwatering, creamy white frosting. Stairmaster here I c [...]

CHANGING SEASONS

loy@foothill.net — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 17:31:11 +0100

OK, I'm making the transition into Fall with appreciation of cooler weather. Started off the morning lazy, reacting to the wet weather and found myself being tweaked with free-flowing energies after a session with Reiki therapist Donna Arz. A visit to Court House Coffee found me relishing the delicious roasted turkey with chilpotec sauce and melted cheese sandwich, connecting with therapist-intern Gina Walker, regular customer, and waited on by Catherine Kleinbach, for [...]

The Auburn Alehouse - Opens June 21st

craig@strukture.com — Wed, 20 Jun 2007 16:13:53 +0100

The day that many have been waiting for has arrived...the opening of the Auburn Alehouse!! On June 21st, Brian Ford (Founder and Brewmaster) opens the doors to the general public.

In talking with Brian, I can see the excitement and thrill in his eyes (and possibly relief) in seeing a more than four year old dream finally become reality. In fact, he spent about 2 years just looking for the perfect location. The shuttering of the Shanghai was the perfect opportunity and loc [...]
