I remember moving to Tehachapi in 1989. It was a dream move, going from my 45-minute commute on Highway 101 to a 10-minute drive on Valley Blvd. It wasn't easy at first, I remember working four jobs, selling real estate at Century 21, doing a once-a-week radio show, going out on the speakers tour twice a week with a book I had just written, all while I was trying to get my insurance business up and running.

Elevating the upper body can open your airway, promoting better airflow and reducing the interruptions in breathing that are common with sleep apnea. 2. Relief of acid reflux. An adjustable...
The murals in Downtown Tehachapi are in need of repair. The most obvious is the 1915 Green Street Dance mural on Tehachapi Blvd., across from Railroad Park.
