Lodi / Stockton CA Homes For Sale & Real Estate Information

We all know that our beloved Lodi Grape Bowl has always been a place that has provided many happy memories, especially for those that have had their high school graduation ceremony there.

We also know that the facility has needed a facelift for quite some time now.  The bleachers were dated.  The field was bland.  The landscaping was less than desirable and the concession stand and announcers booth showed plenty of signs of wear and tear.

Unfortunately one of the main problems was that the Lodi Grape Bowl wasn’t exactly disabled-friendly.

Well, most, if not all of that, is now finally changing thanks to a $2 million make-over.

Although there has been much progress there is still more work to be done both on the facility as well as on the legalities of the use of it.  Hopefully all the wrinkles will be ironed out soon because a line is starting to form with people, groups, etc., wanting to use this location for all sorts of venues including a possible concert.

It’s improvements like this that I think will continue to bring more people to Lodi, which will in turn perhaps help the Lodi real estate market.  More people equals more homes for sale that just might be finding a buyer.

Count me in!

I have always had fun each year attending the downtown Lodi Street Faire.  It happens twice a year and usually draws a very large crowd.  There will be great food, fun, music, and all kinds of vendor booths for your browsing and shopping pleasure.

Heritage Oak Winery Tasting Room Bar

Join other birding enthusiasts for the March edition of the Weekend Bird Walks. The tour will be led by David Yee who will guide the group across the vineyards of the Heritage Oak Winery in Lodi, CA.  You’ll be taken along the Mokelumne River and through our riperian woodland.  David is among the leading experts at native bird identification in San Joaquin County.

The walk will start at the winery at 9:30am. Sturdy walking shoes are highly recommended.  Binoculars and field guides are also helpful.  And of course bring your cameras.  Dress appropriately for the weather.  An optional lunch will be served at 11:30am with wine and must be ordered in advance.

The cost is $20 per person for the bird walk.  If lunch is desired afterward, there is an additional $10 charge.  Contact David at (209) 329-5490 to make your reservation, or email to the winery at info@heritageoakwinery.com and include your telephone number.  A credit card will reserve your place and meal.

The weather forecast for this Saturday is a low of 49 and a high of 75 and partly cloudy.  So enjoy!
