    Rachel Axdahl, contributing writer|Aug 3, 2024

    A walk through downtown Tehachapi always includes friendly faces, but doesn't usually reveal sidewalks filled with dragons, superheroes and flowers. Chalk on the Walk 2024 arrives Aug. 10.

  • Is now a good time to purchase a home?

    Laura Johnson, contributing writer|Aug 3, 2024

    Deciding whether to wait for potentially lower interest rates or to buy a home now depends on various personal and market factors. Here are some considerations to help you make an informed decision: 1. Current Market Conditions: • Interest Rates: If interest rates are high and expected to decrease soon, waiting could potentially save you money on your mortgage over the long term. • Housing Market Trends: If home prices are rising quickly, waiting might mean paying more for the home, even if mor...

  • Thank you from a heli-tanker pilot

    W. D., contributing writer|Aug 3, 2024

    Someone sent me a photo of a CH-47 I was flying that made the news in Kern County. Not an uncommon experience since I fly that large heli-tanker in and around Los Angeles. I had a little chuckle though because my big head sticking out the side bubble of the helicopter made the news. I'm there because I'm paid to do a job and paid well. The real news story is the people of Tehachapi. We had such a warm welcome there. Someone left a $200 gift card at Starbucks for any firefighters. So my coffee...

  • Meet Your New Neighbors

    Pat Doody, Welcome Hostess|Aug 3, 2024

    I first met Edward and Valerie Padua in Philip Marx Central Park during Tehachapi's 4th of July celebration. They stopped by The Loop newspaper's booth in the company of a giant, fluffy, 40-pound, six-month-old poodle "puppy" named Scooby who behaves very much like his namesake. Edward and Valerie had moved to Tehachapi at the end of May from Palmdale, where they had been living for about three years, and were anxious to learn more about their new hometown. Edward is employed by CalTrans Distric...

"It's always a pleasure to talk to the media. Although I haven't had a hit in 18 years, I'm in negotiations with producers like David Merrick. This play will be my crowning achievement: a stunning murder...

  • Beach Retreat

    Midge Lyndee, Book Review|Aug 3, 2024

    When looking for a good read, I don't necessarily reach for a literary tome full of weighty revelations and ponderous journeys. Depending on the moment, I might search for a reckless adventure or be tempted with something softer, letting a story wrap around me like a warm summer breeze. It can be lightly written, with characters not deeply carved but rather sketched in soft pastels, people that would fit into my own life. That is what I found in "The Hotel at Beach and Forgotten" by Nellie...

  • Vintage Tehachapi postcards

    Jon Hammond, contributing writer|Aug 3, 2024

    Postcards were once part of most people's travels, and I have hundreds of them that my family members gathered from 1906 onward. Many are interesting and unusual, capturing vanished scenes of America or the world abroad, but naturally my favorites depict a less exotic locale: Tehachapi. "Postcards from Tehachapi" is an extremely small niche among the thousands of categories of postcards, but I'm always excited to see my beloved hometown in photographic depictions, even if there's only a handful...

  • Manzanita: The 'Little Apples' shrub is a California favorite

    Jon Hammond, contributing writer|Aug 3, 2024

    Manzanita is the genus name for a large group of shrubs that are native to California – there are nearly 100 different species of Manzanita found in California, and there are a number of cultivars with their own characteristics, so a gardener has many varieties from which to choose. The different Manzanitas share a number of desirable qualities, since they are evergreen, drought-tolerant, deer-resistant, and have attractive bark, flowers and berries. Several species of Manzanita are native to t...
