• Koligian Center: Wow!

  A long-dead New York City eatery once sold its no-frills, on-the-cheap style of dining with the commercial: "You can't eat atmosphere." Patients, medical staff and visitors who've experienced the environment of the labyrinthine clinics at the former University Read More...

• The weed whisperer

  As I yanked them, some as high as my thigh, I warned them to cease and desist. As they broke above the entrenched root, I swear I heard them laugh. I pledged I'd be back. As I toted away my victims, I wondered how I'd ignored that side yard for so long. Read More...

• What you see behind a pillar

  No way I could see Fresno Mayor Ashley Swearengin as she delivered a 30+minute "State of Downtown" pledge to several hundred people Jan. 26. That's because the old PG&E building, restored and renamed "The Grand," wasn't designed as a viewer-friendly Read More...

  I've seen a lot of dirt pushed around in my nine years with Community Medical Centers, and in the years prior while covering health care for the Fresno Bee. But there was something electric on Jan. 14, when earth movers and levelers, a street sweeper Read More...

• Good news -- Really!

  Brain totally fried: Too many stories about health care reform -- will there be a tax on Botox shots, will the feds pay Christian Scientists for healing by prayer. Overkill about medicine pot-selling shops in LA. Concussions aplenty in football players Read More...

• The necktie chronicles

  Nobody really "owns" their possession. When it comes to tie clasps -- the gizmos a few of us still use to prevent our neck wear from dangling in the lasagna -- "mine" seem to take flight all the time. Went to Ireland in 1991 and bought two -- I call them Read More...

• Info & Miss Info

  Bunch of proxy letters arrived -- stuff you get with your investments that ask you to mark big X's in boxes, electing directors you've never heard of and approving ballot measures that may boost or milk your money. But, the background, which is always Read More...

• Eulogy

  A neighbor just put Christmas decorations up in his front window. Wow. Mid-October. Christmas, a time when my mother-in-law would be planning her annual party, a fund-raiser for various charities. My mother-in-law. I will deliver her eulogy Saturday. Read More...
