WAY off topic...but, Edie Lambert and Van Nuys Assemblyman Lloyd Levine are engaged (he's WAY HOT!). They make an attractive couple!

Edie Levine...doesn't have the same ring. Congratulations anyhow.

So when are Dave and Lois going to retire?

NEVER! They're like the stars of the show! I love those two! Lois gets a little cranky sometimes. But, I like their banter and I like Dave's little corny jokes. They have personality. Try watching Channel 13's news! That's like watching a High School News Show. It's disgusting! 10 is okay. But, I'm loyal to 3! Edie, Deirdre, Lois, Dave, Mark, and the whole lot of them!

...OH!..and Adrienne Bankert...DIVA!!!! Love her, too!!

I agree..

Sacramento is lucky to be a top twenty market, so they actually get pretty decent talent in town.

But there's few news anchors of the caliber of Dave and Lois.

KCRA's sports coverage SUCKS!

I wasn't asking when Dave and Lois will retire because I want them to...they're the best. Just idle curiosity if they had a plan.

When I was living in Sac and had out of town visitors I used to make them sit down and watch 30 minutes of Dave and Lois. That was part of the Sacramento tour as much as Sutter's Fort or Old Sac.

And yes...Adrienne Bankert is good too. I keep on wondering why they don't give her something more to do than traffic. She seems sharp.

Its funny how people develop a loyalty to certain local news stations. Growing up my family was also loyal KCRA3 viewers. Presently, I usually watch channel 10 and 40. I think 10's production and anchors are better though I still watch 3 from time to time to watch Dave and Lois because they broadcast in hi-def and Bankert and the weather hottie Jovora (I think thats her name) look espaecially good in 1080i. For the limitations that 40 has to work with, I think they do a decent job but the Fox tie in's for American Idol and other Fox shows turn me off quite a bit. Still I really like their anchor's and you can't beat Jim Crandell..

I think she does weekend anchoring.

I love Jim Crandell. The cry baby of the week segment is cool.

Tesco planning Fresh & Easy store in Fairfield
By Jon Ortiz - jortiz@sacbee.com
Published 1:47 pm PST Friday, November 30, 2007

British grocery giant Tesco PLC, which has already made waves with the small-format Fresh & Easy stores it debuted in Southern California and Las Vegas earlier this month, has applied for a liquor license for a store in Fairfield.

That signals Northern California's tumultuous grocery industry is in for more shakeups with what will likely be dozens of non-union Fresh & Easy stores reaching for shoppers who buy food at traditional supermarkets and big box stores.

"I can confirm that we're looking at a number of locations in Sacramento," said Brendan Wonnacott, a spokesman for the chain. "But there's nothing firm to announce. We're still in the early stages."

Tesco has already opened 15 stores in Las Vegas and the Los Angeles area. Another 35 will open by February. No date has been announced for the Fairfield store.

See, you've never seen that before (neither have I, for the record!)...Channel 3 really is where the news comes first!

(scroll to the top of the page).

arod74 · #**279** Posted **Dec 5, 2007, 9:59 PM**

Ah yes, imagine if you had a nice highrise condo. On days when everyone else is mucking around in the fog you could sit on your balcony and enjoy the sunshine with some coffee... sigh

That would be amazing!!! I love this city with or without the Towers. But, they sure would have been nice!
