  • Air Supply rocks the fair

    Nathalie Taylor|Updated Jul 27, 2020

    Maybe you don't think of the word "art" when you listen to soft-rock, but when I heard Air Supply in concert at the San Diego County Fair – the word "art" came to mind. Their music is melodic, lovely, and artistic. The song lyrics have substance, and provide emotional sustenance for the audience. The songs are sung with passion and energy, which is especially significant because Graham Russell (singer and songwriter) is 69 and Russell Hitchcock (lead vocalist) is 70. The two m...

  • Café Des Artistes to hold Stokes art exhibition

    Updated Aug 24, 2019

    FALLBROOK – Café Des Artistes announced an upcoming artist reception and exhibition for lifelong Fallbrook painter Brett Stokes. Stokes' new work departs from native themes and landscape imagery to focus primarily on abstract expressionism done in acrylics.

    Updated Aug 24, 2019

    Rick Monroe Maybe you've noticed a group of bicyclists riding the hills of Fallbrook – or sometimes they would shift to the coast for flat-ground training. Mostly in their 50s, they wear "Team Oceanside" jerseys, but half of the 8-man team have a major Fallbrook connection. Their training paid off. Team Oceanside placed second to a team from Great Britain in the 8-person division of Race Across America, a grueling "tag team" ride from the Oceanside Pier to Annapolis, M...

  • A royal time in Windsor

    Nathalie Taylor|Updated Aug 24, 2019

    As the Windsor Car's Mercedes pulled up to the Langton House Bed and Breakfast, my heart welled with joy. I felt like I was coming home. The commodious Langton House, built in 1890 as a residence for Queen Victoria's minor government officials, is located on a quiet, tree-lined road not far from Windsor Castle. For the majority of my visits to Windsor, this welcoming abode has been my anchor point – a place to return after a lively day – a place to relish the day's exp...
