[edit] Picture Orientation

Comparing the picture to Google maps (after showing that picture to a visiting friend who was disoriented by it) ... I see that this picture seems to be "upside down" (The northern edge of the photograph is oriented to the bottom?)

How do we fix that?

[edit] Personal Commentary

We moved to Redding about a year ago for it's natural beauty and what it has to offer.

We are so glad that we moved to Redding and couldn't ask for a better place to call home!

[edit] Culture

"Friday morning at 6:00 AM, there is a giant pancake breakfast hosted by men in oversized styrofoam cowboy hats.

Tens of thousands trek to the breakfast to satisfy their need for pancakes and syrup."

Seems unencyclopedic.

[edit] Metro area

The Redding "metro area" says it is "Redding/Chico." Um, Chico is about a 90 minute (73 mile) drive southeast of Redding. How the heck is that in the same "metro area?" RobertM525 (talk) 07:50, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

It looks like someone was overzealous about promoting the Redding area or something like that. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Redding-Chico Metropolitan Area for documentation on the removal of the "Redding-Chico Metropolitan Area" page. Quick summary: no such Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) or Combined Statistical Area (CSA) exists at the US Census Bureau. The two cities are separate MSAs. I removed the corresponding links and text from the Redding, California page. Ikluft (talk) 17:11, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
