Yes, I enjoyed my weekend…

I spent the better part of the weekend at the 25th Annual Mountain Mushroom Festival, taking pictures for the paper and hanging out at the farmers’ market booth.

Times Past… The strike of 1955

  While thumbing through the archives a few weeks ago I stumbled upon an article from April 22, 1955 (The Irvine Times) that immediately caught my attention. “Injunction granted railroad at hearing – Court order follows acts of violence Thursday in Irvine and Ravenna.” Acts of violence?
