Mornings with the One Percent™ Classic Rewind, The 2023 Arnold Independence Parade!
Posted by: thepinetree on 06/14/2024 11:55 AM
Arnold, CA…Mornings with the One Percent™ is live weekday mornings. The premise for the show is that the USDA ranked all 3,142 counties or county equivalents in the USA on a livability or desirability scale based on factors such as climate, scenic beauty, bodies of water for recreation, humidity and much more. All of our area ranked not only in the top one percent but in the top one half of one percent. So in the ups and downs of daily life remember you don’t have to be a Gates, Buffett or Bezos to live like the one percent. Just live here!
Patty & Richard are Retiring, July 22nd will be Final Day for Bristol's Ranch House Cafe

Arnold, CA...From Bristol's FB Page..."Well, this is really hard….😢 but I know by now most of you have already seen the “for lease” sign outside of the restaurant. Richard and I have decided it’s time to retire, to spend more time with our grandchildren and my wonderful mom. There were a lot of signs that it’s time, one being the high insurance rates, another is the price and quality of the products we are receiving. When we opened 21 years ago I promised the community I would keep our prices as affordable as possible so that all of the young families could afford to eat out. I’ve tried to keep my promise all of these years!
