Some people say they’re holding off on washing their car until LUV comes to town. A laudable sentiment, perhaps, but if the modern-day car wash on Healdsburg Avenue is what they’re waiting for, that day is upon us. Soon, anyway.

By Emma Tremont I grew up in Healdsburg. We lived with my grandmother, who owned a building called Camp Rose. In the evenings, lots of adults would gather in her basement and perform for her. I got to sit with her and watch until it was my bedtime. Then my parents would take me upstairs […]
