The Yolo County Breakdown for Feb 20, 2026

Fri, 02/20/2026 - 10:00am | Rocky Outcrop

On the heels of the release of her critically acclaimed collaboration with Steve Martin, Safe, Sensible and Sane, Alison Brown is heading out to play some gigs here in her native California. Rocky Outcrop can't let a Grammy-winning banjo player swing through the region without asking her to stop by for a chat, and Alison did exactly that. On this installment of the Yolo County Breakdown, Rocky and Alison talk about the new album, her recent honor from the Country Music Hall of Fame, her new SiriusXM show Pick Like A Girl and more.

Davisville, Feb. 23, 2026: From gray walls at MIT to colors in California

Fri, 02/20/2026 - 9:32am | Bill Buchanan

Davis architect Maria Ogrydziak, whose designs include the Davis Food Co-op building (pictured) on G Street downtown, was born in Stockholm to Estonian parents, lived in Taiwan for two years while growing up, and began to make her mark as an architect when she recreated a gray classroom at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology — her alma mater — “to be more exciting, more inspiring.” Architectural faculty supported her, she says, MIT planners were apprehensive, and the outcome helped her win election as student body president the next year.

Today on Davisville we talk about housing, architecture, designing in Davis, and the influence of California's Central Valley on her work. It's no accident that a big tomato sculpture sits in front of the Co-op.

Ogrydziak is also part of Yolo Community Builders, and last appeared on Davisville in June 2025 with YCB Executive Director Bill Pride.
