10 Years Forgotten

10 Years Forgotten graphic

10 Years Forgotten with your host JonEmery focuses on modern classics and indie standards from 2000–2010, the decade lost in the shuffle due to the Dawn of the Digital Age. TYF also explores the history of record stores in the Sacramento Valley – including why some are still open today –  along with the future of physical and digital music locally, regionally, and beyond.

That's Life

Lois Richter’s format for That’s Life is mostly interviews. Recurring topics include Davis activities and groups; work and life choices; philosophy and theory; plus birding, cooking, art, and other passions. Lois occasionally breaks into music — from ballads to the slack key sounds of Hawaii to golden oldies rock 'n' roll — but mostly there is just talk.

To suggest a topic for discussion or a person to interview, text Lois or leave a message in the comments here.

Davisville, July 15, 2024: The other real estate in Davis

Mon, 07/15/2024 - 5:30pm | Bill Buchanan

Former movie theaters on G Street Davis 071124.JPG

People talk more often about housing, but the commercial side of Davis real estate is just as important. That includes the buildings we work in, hang out in, meet in — in other words, offices, stores, restaurants, industrial space, apartments, churches, and your favorite place for coffee. The kinds and amounts of commercial property available, what it costs, the condition it’s in, how people use it, all of that shapes life in our town.

Today we talk about Davis commercial real estate with two people who often appear on Davisville when we talk about local housing — Steve and James Boschken, father and son real estate professionals in Davis. Topics include the demand for “second-generation” restaurant space, office vacancies, rent trends, and properties ranging from the large new biotech/manufacturing building opening on Faraday to what might happen to the now fenced-off former Carl’s Jr. in northeast Davis.
