Well, kids, get ready: shadows getting longer, days getting shorter, holiday season just around the corner. Many locals are on vacation, taking advantage of the "tween" season as we call it. That time between summer and winter. Restaurants can actually seat drop-ins! Amazing.
In Tahoma, things are changing. First, look at the Post Office. Hmmm. Did the driver miss the brake and hit the gas? Or did the driver jump out on his was to the PO box he rents and leave the vehicle in gear? Locals call it the post office problem up here: people are in a hurry, many things on their minds, or they are on the cell phone, and forgetful. result: vehicle accelerates into the entry doors of our Post Office. No injuries excepting the ego of driver. Plywood is in p;lace, new doors are ordered, Amazon will deliver (?) soon.
Right nearby, our famous "Cult Burger" place has closed pending seasonal situation. Despite best intentions, traffic waned after September and the tween season can't support a burger place, even if the quality is there. We'll see what happens as owners negotiate with landlord.
Liz and her espresso bar is on vacation last I heard, she's on a beach somewhere warm. See you during the holidays. We are sad to report the passing of Liz' grand mother and angel investor/partner, Katy Foster. Katy is a well known local realtor who has lived on the West Shore for decades after retiring with her late husband, Colman, from a teaching and coaching career in SoCAl. Services are pending.
Dog & Bear restaurant is packing them in regularly, serving good food and drink. Locals and visitors appreciate the location so close to most of Tahoma and Homewood. Beats the 20 mile round trip to Tahoe City. Tahoe City has had issues with access as the FAnny Bridge has been closed for most of the year for replacement. It is due to reopen next month. We visited the site yesterday while walking along the shore and a worker said December, '25. Good.
Cal Fire crews have been active at Sugar Pine State Park and the evidence is easily seen near the entrance and down the paths to the lake shore. Stacks of cuttings are all over waiting for thematch. Some will season for 1 full year before being set ablaze. The goal: reduce the fuel loads around the park and in the Lake Basin itself. Proactive thinning will prevent disastrous fires that occur in the forests in California.
Enjoy the last fall days as winter approaches. Nice to see that full moon rise over Nevada.
