1. Want to learn more about Roseville Junction? This article from Hotel Business.com gives you a rundown of what to expect at the mixed-use project. Here's something that caught my eye: "There will be apps where guests can place food and beverage orders from their phones and have their food delivered by food ambassadors moving throughout the property." Neat! (Hotel Business)
2. Lincoln Tae Kwon Do instructor Zachery Wilkendorf was arrested on November 30 on child pornography charges. Police searched his residence and allegedly found child pornography content. “Based on Wilkendorf’s access to children and the child pornography in his possession, investigators are concerned there may be other victims who have yet to be identified,” the Sheriff’s Office said in a Facebook post. If you have information in the case, call the Placer County Sheriff’s Office at 530-886-5375. (Gold Country Media)
