rohnert park: A Casino is coming to Town - Rohnert Park, CA - 10/26/13 05:59 AM
 

I'm one of those folks who don't care for change, but change is what's coming to Sonoma County in the form of the largest casino in California. Oh my. Many are fearful of what follows in a casino's footsteps ... pawn shops are at the top of my mental list.
The bright side is that the Graton Resort and Casino is creating 2,000 new jobs, of which 7,000 hopefuls have applied for. It seems that being a card dealer has been a dream of many, since several hundred are finishing up a 6 week course in dealer school.

Holiday Lights in Rohnert Park CA
I remember when growing up, my Mother would love to take us kids out in the car in search for the house with the best holiday lights. Of course, naming a first place winner is subjective to personal taste, but I've found my favorite house in Rohnert Park CA.
My favorite extends beyond just the one house, it extends to the end of Cielo Circle. (I know, circles aren't supposed to have an "end", but this one does). One of the neighbors started going crazy with lights and decorations, until he no longer had room … (7 comments)

When I first arrived in Rohnert Park 25 years ago to hunt for a condo, I was asked by my real estate agent which section in Rohnert Park I was most interested in.  Section?  The agent explained to me that Rohnert Park is divided into neighborhoods called sections.  Each section is named after a letter in the alphabet, and each street name within the boundaries of that section begins with that letter.  Got it?
L Section in Rohnert Park is no exception.  Every street name begins with the letter L, so you will find Lincoln, … (4 comments)

rohnert park: F Section - Rohnert Park CA 94928 - 04/02/10 12:41 PM
F Section, Rohnert Park, CA 94928
The neighborhoods in Rohnert Park, referred to as sections, were named after the alphabet.  "A" section was first, and all of the street names begin with the letter "A" ... Adrian, Alma, Alison.  Then came the B section ... Bonnie, Burton, Beverly.  Then C section ... you get the idea.  This Rohnert Park neighborhood knowledge can come in handy when someone tells you where they live.  If you tell me you live on Davis Circle in Rohnert Park, I know that you live in the D section.
F Section in Rohnert Park is no different.  … (1 comments)
