RP repeals City Hall resolution
As of Nov. 10, the $6.2 million the City of Rohnert Park will receive upon the closing of the stadium land sale will no longer be designated for building a new City Hall. Instead, city employees drew up a resolution that stipulates the City Council will not decide how to use the funds until the sale officially closes; which, despite being in escrow, the City estimates won't be until the year 2018.

Rocking out for charity: Celebrating Jimi Hendrix's birthday
|
 |
Neville Hormuz, owner of Loud and Clear Music in Cotati, hosted a celebration in honor of the late great "Jimi" Hendrix's (Johnny Allen Hendrix) 73rd Birthday. Neville's guest of honor for the event was good friend, founder and former owner of Zone Music, the previous music store at the same location, Frank Hayhurst. Neville and Frank were joined by 10 other electric guitarists in very loudly playing "Purple Haze;" during which Frank paid homage to Jimi by setting his guitar - painted by Sara Davis - on fire, like at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival; although he left out the destruction of the instrument since it was a raffle prize.
