It’s hard to think of a show more perfect for a moment than “Ed Ruscha: Travel Log” at the Sonoma Valley Museum of Art. After a year of quarantine, Ruscha’s images of travel across Route 66 and mountains like the Matterhorn scratch our pent-up itch to move and see something new. Even better, it makes you appreciate the travel you’ve done before.
The show, on view till May 30, reveals the American artist exploring the idea of travel in a wide range of pieces including “word painting” lithographs, artist books, photography and prints. In artwork ranging from iconic images of the Hollywood sign and gas stations to newer lithographs, Ruscha offers not just souvenirs of travel, but something greater: the memory of travel as something to savor long

Vallejo, Benicia part of Visit California history tour
VALLEJO Vallejo became California’s first capital in 1850, and Benicia, which also served as the capital, is described as a “hidden jewel.”
For those reasons alone, Visit California included Vallejo and Benicia in its latest suggested historical tour stops in the state.
“Head to its historic district Old Town, where you can wander past homes dating back to the late 1800s. Its architectural style is known (as) the ‘Working Man’s Victorian,’ with wooden homes that reflect blends of Queen Anne, Eastlake, Italianate, and Stick elements,” Visit California noted in its description of Vallejo.

A server at a Sonoma restaurant says she felt forced to quit her job for wearing a Black Lives Matter mask. Kim Stout posted on her Instagram page that she was pressured to resign from the Girl and the Fig restaurant back in September for wearing the mask at work and being “too political”. In a video, Stout filmed herself taking off her Girl and the Fig Shirt and throwing it in the trash with the words “Black Lives Matter” superimposed on the screen. President of the company, John Toulze, confirmed to the Press Democrat that there was a formal mask policy at the restaurant which required employees to wear a Girl & The Fig branded mask, or a plain black or blue surgical mask to provide flexibility but still align with the dress code. Stout asserts this new policy was implemented after she started wearing her Black Lives Matter mask.
