The Small Things
We are not so much spoiled for choices as crushed by the never-ending waves of them. It never occurred to me as a child, for example, that I would one day find myself behind on watching TV. It is with the same Netflix-esque overwhelm that you sometimes open a Mexican menu, fold after fold, until […]

Before You Stiff Your Server

Jason Singleton Responds
The most hated man in Humboldt, whose recent threat of an American Disabilities Act lawsuit was blamed for the closure of Porter Street Barbecue in Arcata, reached out to the Journal with a rebuttal this morning.

Two New Owners for 3 Foods Café
If you’ve been scrolling through Craigslist in hopes of buying 3 Foods Café in Arcata, you’re too late. New owners Jennifer Shipman and Laura Duttweiler beat you to it, and no, they didn’t buy it online. Escrow closed on Friday, and the place itself will only close (fingers crossed) from Oct. 21 to Oct. 24. […]

The Day the Music Died
At home, or in your car, radio’s free. You may have to sit through some insufferable ads between songs, or you may feel compelled to donate to your local public station, but once you’ve bought the box, you can hear all the songs you want from the airwaves. But turn on a radio for customers […]
