Welcome from northwest Louisiana. I have a good friend that operates a coffee shop on the 299 heading towards the coast. Just past Weaverville - Straw House Coffee. Ever been there? Pretty country. Would love to retire there one day, fishing in the Trinity River.

Welcome to the board!

No I never been to your buddy's coffee shop were is it exactly? by hayfork? Why would you want to move here I can't wait till I can get out of this state. I grew up in Kansas and I can't wait to get back to the mid west. T- 4 years and counting and I am outa here. You might want to go to the news paper and watch the articles of stuff going on with the local gov. go to: redding.com good luck

Whoops. Sorry. Allow me to clarify.

First of all, there isn't a job that pays enough money for me to live where you do. I don't mean that as a slam, but Redding, CA is not my idea of paradise. If, however, you get on state HW 299, and head out towards Weaverville, CA, kind of around Big Flat, you will come across a little coffeeshop called Straw House Coffee. It's about halfway between Redding and, like, Arcada or whatever on the coast. Great food, great coffee, great ambiance. I actually had an offer to work there and help the guy run the place, but never took him up on it, as I needed to make some money. But I can envision retiring there, and fishing on the Trinity river. My wife is from CA, I still listen to southern CA talk radio, so I'm still updated on what's going on there. It's kind of a mess. But it's SO pretty there. Likewise, however, I lived in the midwest for 5 years, and really couldn't wait to get out. Different strokes, different folks........
