  • Nevada County – A Summer Evening Concert

    George Rebane Say what you will, but them big city folk just don’t know what it is to drive a few minutes, have a good dinner with your sweetie, and then set your bag chairs in front of an impressive little band under the trees and listen to some mighty fine toe tappin’ tunes.  Jo…

    George Rebane My email has been running torrid over the last day or so with everyone telling me, and everyone else, about the Sac Bee article on ‘hard money’ lending shenanigans in the state, and especially in Nevada County.  “NC Clerk/Recorder Diaz has company regarding questionable dealings while in office.” is a typical message line…
