I found a new park this week. It’s in the south west corner of OLD Richland west of Fred Myer. It had a very nice climbing toy my kids were big fans of. Although the swings were relatively short, they were well greased and I will argue they are the best swings for adults in [...]

Who Knows the Story Behind This Bench in Richland?

Andrew Kirk — Thu, 16 May 2013 21:12:35 +0000

Right by the pump house along the Richland dike – just up from the boat ramp – there’s a red bench with a little pipe next to it. The plaque reads, “The Bill & Captain Bench.” My uncle lives near it and thinks he knows the story. I’m interested in seeing if anyone can confirm his story.

Wendy's Is First Local Restaurant Chain With ALL Coca Cola Freestyle Machines

Andrew Kirk — Thu, 16 May 2013 13:18:14 +0000

I feel like I could chill in there for hours. And because it was hot as Hades on Saturday, and the air conditioning was blasting, I did stay a little over an hour! What really helped cool us off was the new Coca Cola Freestyle machine offering over 100 flavor combinations. Starting May 16 all Tri-Cities Wendy's locations will feature the machines.

Greg DeLange — Fri, 29 Mar 2013 16:22:29 +0000

I ran into this dog at a Richland park and had to share his photo. His name is Gus and he doesn't let a disability stop him. Gus was running and jumping all over -- mostly playing with children. His owner said he LOVES children and the kids loved him back! He brought smiles to EVERYONE!

Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, Miranda Lambert, LeAnn Rimes, Kelli Pickler, Faith Hill… there are so many pretty women in Country music. But today Woody and I got arguing about who was the most “old school” pretty. Prettiest “of all time” if you will. I argue it’s Bo Derek. Woody says Farrah Fawcett. It’s up to [...]
