No place is perfect but

It is a great place. It is beautiful.
Crime reports in the newspaper usually consist of something like this...caller reported someone going door to door, selling meat (actually I've been buying meat from him for about a year), or, 2:35 a.m., a woman called to say she was locked out of her car...police responded and called roadside service, or a person refused to leave a driveway and stop blowing leaves.
I also have a great bus story. At night there is/ was only one small half bus which runs between 2 towns, Grass Valley and Nevada City. I needed to pick up my car on the regular bus route and found out that they didn't travel that route at night only the hiway. I wasn't going to walk it is quite a hill and a hike. I figured I'd just go back home and try the next day but the driver said well, let's see what I can do.... On the way back he asked everyone if they minded and drove me right to my car but that is not all, as we were going down a hill a guy on a bicycle

A Gem...

I was suprised to learn how well known in Southern California and the Bay Area are the reputations of Grass Valley and Nevada City as places to enjoy a stimulating life. It's true. Even though I commute every day to Sacramento, I can't wait to arrive home in these

A retirement town
- 2/2/2007
There is very little to do in this town, especially if you have kids. Just dining out can cost you 60.00 for 2 adults and 1 kid, at a mediocre restaurant. I can't wait to

Grass Valley/Nevada City Growth
- 6/25/2006
What happened to my home? The little town where I grew up in and raised my family has turned into an overcrowded, dysfunctional mess. Real estate prices are such that my kids can't even consider owning a home (median price $450K), the roads are overcrowded and deteriorating, you can't build a home without it costing tens of thousands just to begin, and the political climate is swinging to the left along with the influx of Bay Area retirees.
No hard feelings or regrets. To city dwellers, this place probably seems like heaven. But,in five more years, Grass Valley will no longer be a "small town" or have that same feeling. It's just time for us to
