Napa Valley Register

Napa Valley Register

The Napa Valley Register is a daily newspaper based in Napa, California, with its roots tracing back to August 10, 1863. Initially, it was named the Napa Valley Register, but by 1864, it shortened its name to the Napa Register, only to revert to its original title more than a century later. In its early days, the newspaper focused on a community that was primarily known for wheat farming rather than wine production, making it quite different from what readers see today. The Register served as a platform for various content, including gossip, stories, opinions, moral lessons, quotes, propaganda, entertainment, and, occasionally, serious news. It was one of the two leading newspapers in early Napa.

    One of my bookworm dreams came true a few weeks ago. Wild Plum Books owner Elyse Chambers asked me which book I wanted to recommend as part of a Father’s Day display featuring recommendations from local fathers. Whoa daddy, where do we start? Torn between a few options (how could I pass up “The Master and Margarita”?) I chose Jonathan Franzen’s “The Corrections.” Marcus the barrel cooper next to me shrewdly went with Ian McEwan’s “Atonement” — Marcus, we need to be friends.

    The Napa City Council will have its say on a plan to overhaul the site of a recently closed Kohl’s store — and start the path to building a hotel and housing in its place. Council members will hold a special meeting at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday at City Hall to vote on four ordinances that would clear a path to the downtown redevelopment project, which would include two buildings to host a 161-room hotel, 78 condominiums and retail spaces.
