ByMichelleCarlson Ourhistoricdown- town is really coming to life in Red Bluff. On week- ends and evenings we can see shoppers merrily hop- ping from charming store- front to storefront, bags in hand. It's a wonderful sight to see, and the addi- tion of the lights outside on Main Street have added to the allure, creating a scene reminiscent of the Hallmark movies I love to watch this time of year. I remember our fam- ily's regular trips down- town to shop when I was little. It was so full of life — a really magical place. One shop in particular was my favorite: Main Street Mercantile. The store was loaded with nooks and crannies full of treasures waiting to be discovered. Every visit felt like an ex- pedition, and my sister and I were the explorers. Fast forward several de- cades. The groups who cherished those experi- ences, namely Gen X'ers and Millennials, are look- ing to create meaningful experiences of their own, for their children and their communities. Many of these individuals are cre- ative, independent spirits who are driven by purpose and connections to others of similar ilk. Starting something from the ground up is no simple task, whether it's a business, a non-profit, a club or whatever. Without mentoring and support it becomes increasingly more difficult and providing that mentoring and sup- port in an official way can be extremely costly. Authors Adam Morgan and Mark Barden make the case in their book A Beautiful Constraint that these difficulties actually prove to be quite amaz- ing in "turning apparent constraints into sources of possibility and advan- tage," which is exactly what is happening right now in our downtown. Not only creating a mag- ical place for those seek- ing unique goods and top notch service but also in a project set to open in the New Year. The project brings something new to our community: a place for ideas to hatch and grow, a place for innovative dreamers to congregate, and a place that supports success through mentor- ing and sharing of knowl- edge. With a hipster, club-like atmosphere, affordable membership and access to inspiration, wi-fi and never-ending coffee, this project promises to be the hatching place of all kinds of innovation, right here in Red Bluff. Ken and Melina Robison have worked hard to bring this project to life, and I've had the great pleasure of being able to contribute. It's an incredible step for- ward in supporting the economic development of our community, and some- thing to get excited about for those who dream of bringing more magic to our beautiful downtown. As shops open, and more proprietors enjoy the wonders of being the ar- chitect of their own des- tiny, the footprint of our downtown grows, add- ing to the delightful expe- riences you can only get from a small, personal downtown like ours.

CAL-SAFE Teens give to homeless shelter Yesterday morning about five o'clock night policeman Gray got a hurry-up call to a Johnson street residence, and arriving their was in- formed by the lady of the house that a man had come up onto the back porch of the house and gone to sleep. Gray investigated and found a man lying asleep rolled up in blankets. He nudged him in the ribs with one foot and told him very emphatically to take up his bed and walk, pronto. The man finally woke up and asked if it were not permissible to sleep on his own back porch. Officer Gray called the woman, di- rected the rays of a flash- light in the man's face and she immediately recognized her husband. No, we didn't find out why he slept out there all night instead of going in the house. — Dec. 22, 1915 100 YEARS AGO...
