Owner, Randy Robbins says, “We did new stucco on 3 sides of the building, and are working on trim color… the red stripe is gone, but what to replace it with is a difficult decision.”

“We promise to get rid of the small section of red stripe still visible when coming up Main Street. We’re hoping to get the trim painted before the weather gets too cold to paint. Signage is also in the works, that will come soon as well.”

Great job Randy. We’re looking forward to seeing the final product.

Susanville Starbucks

You may have noticed a couple of weeks back that Starbucks was closed for a remodel. Well the remodel is done, Starbucks is open and it looks great. Store manager, Lesa Perez showed me around the renovated interior. The new look is clean and open, and gives the place a new feeling.

Electric Company to Install Auxiliary

November 16, 1918

The Lassen Electric company is making preparations to place in commission the engine at the old ice plant just above the cemetery to help take care of the overload at certain times of the day.

At the present time the plant is loaded to capacity and for several hours in the evening when the use of the current is the greatest there is not sufficient juice to give satisfactory service.

Another auxiliary engine at the Lassen Auto company may be connected up to help out.

These arrangements are for the purpose of getting through the coming winter as the company expects to connect up with the Great Western Power company next spring.
