Best of Humboldt 2023
We’re face-painting, wave-starting fans of Humboldt County to begin with. But the Best of Humboldt issue is where we get to wave our foam fingers and cheer for the home team’s stars: the people, places, businesses and more nominated and voted No. 1 by you, our readers. It’s tough out there on the field, so […]
Best of Cannabis
Best Cultivator & Best Local Cannabis Farm Jason Gellman, Ridgeline Farms Jason Gellman had no idea his Ridgeline Farms had won Best Local Cannabis Farm, or that he’d won Best Cultivator. Not only did he not campaign for the honors, but he didn’t even know Ridgeline was a finalist until the Journal called. Nonetheless, he […]
Re: The Wind
Editor: Elaine Weinreb’s “Port of Entry” article (July 27) gave a great overview of the challenges to constructing a wind farm manufacturing hub on Humboldt bay. This project, and the related off-shore wind farm could have far reaching impacts to Humboldt Bay. The article reports on the many challenges and impacts that were debated at […]

‘A Fantasy World’
Editor: I attended AutoXpo in Fortuna although I am not a fan of 21st century “Retro Kar Kulture” (“AutoXpo Was Awesome; It Was Also a Symbol of Our Impending Doom,” July 27). Most were garishly modified, cut, slashed, chromed and glazed over with flashy paint. In an effort to memorialize the past, many car enthusiasts […]

It’s Science
Editor: I was delighted to see Simona Carini’s well-written article (“Forest Bathing in the Redwoods”), also known as Shinrin-yoku, in the June 15 issue. She did an excellent job of “describing the indescribable.” A skillful wordsmith, she captured the sensory experience … sight, touch, sound, smell … of what it is to be silently immersed […]
Best of Food and Drink
Best Restaurant Server Mimi Kyoko Wagner at Tomo Japanese Restaurant Mimi Kyoko Wagner laughs and wipes the start of a tear from corners of her eyes, careful not to smudge her cat-eye liner. “I love Tomo. I love our food, I love how busy we get,” she says, adding, “It’s a beautiful dance that we do here. […]
Correction
A story in the July 27, 2023, edition of the North Coast Journal headlined “Willow Creek Pharmacy Closes” contained inaccurate information. Patients of Open Door’s Willow Creek Community Health Center can have their prescriptions filled through Open Door Rx, which allows them to be picked up at the Willow Creek facility during normal business hours […]
Summer Puzzles
Every year at this time, I check what I’ve dumped into my “puzzles” folder over the past 12 months. Hope you enjoy them as much as you enjoy the one or two hours when the sun shines here in coastal Humboldt. I think it’s called “summer.” The first is about as counterintuitive as any puzzle […]
Best of Arts & Entertainment
Best Local Celebrity Sara Bareilles If we’re being real, Ferndale-grown celebrity chef Guy Fieri seemed poised to make a run here. After all, his spikey haired mug is plastered across a billboard on the Las Vegas Strip, his flagship show Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives turned 15, he’d launched a new show (Guy’s Game Night) and […]
