Fresh Fruit Right On The Corner, A San Joaquin Valley Tradition

KAT Country 103 is located about a quarter mile north of Arch Airport Road in Stockton. We’re not very close to much of anything when it comes to getting a quick meal or a snack. We have to drive nearly a mile to get to the other side of the highway just to get a…MORE

Looking At Your Own Fat Photo Can Be Depressing… And Motivating!

At LAC 2017 last Saturday Jungle Jim was a regular paparazzi, running around taking shots of anyone and anything that moved. He is LAC’s unofficial photographer.  As most good photographers try to do, he snapped many pics of people in their natural state rather than the unnatural “everybody say cheese” pose where the photo is…MORE
