I drove through it one day, and I was&#8230; Anyway, they\u2019re not happy with me there, and I think they should love me. I have put Rio Linda on the map. I have no doubt been instrumental in elevating, raising property values and a nationwide awareness of the place.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_119217\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RioLinda.jpg\" align=\"middle\" \/><br \/>\nBut I have here a report in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kcra.com\/news\/rio-linda-barn-quilts-beautify-city-with-artwork\/38341494\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">KCRA-TV 3,<\/a> the NBC affiliate in Sacramento, and it\u2019s from Thursday night, and they reported about folk art in Rio Linda. Apparently they\u2019ve got a new project out there to make barn quilts. They\u2019re putting folk art barn quilts around town to combat stereotypes spread by me. So we go to the sound bite here. This is KCRA-TV 3 Sacramento. This is the anchor Lisa Gonzales: &#8220;New American folk art is popping up all over Rio Linda. It\u2019s quality Barn Quilts, courtesy of a group of women in town. And this is the report.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>BRIAN HEAP: As KCRA 3\u2019s Leticia Ordaz reports, the brightly painted blocks on barns, homes, businesses, and landmarks are hoping to erase stereotypes and spread community pride.<\/p>\n<p>LETICIA ORDAZ: Debra Crowe is the brainchild (sic) behind the Rio Linda Elverta Quilt Trail Project. Instead of fabric, wood or metals is used as the canvas that represents important things in the community. Debra thought it would be a powerful way to change Rio Linda\u2019s image.<\/p>\n<p>DEBRA CROWE: Rush Limbaugh says some nasty things about our town, and it\u2019s not true. (laughs)<\/p>\n<p>LETICIA ORDAZ: It wasn\u2019t hard to recruit women to join her group.<\/p>\n<p>SUSAN TRAUTMAN: We were the housewives of Rio Linda.<\/p>\n<p>LETICIA ORDAZ: They\u2019ve already placed some twenty pieces of artwork all over town.<\/p>\n<p>SHARON KING: When you go and drive down the street, you\u2019re looking for the barn quilts. You don\u2019t notice a lot of trash on the street or graffiti or anything like that.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well&#8230; (laughing) Did you catch all of that? (interruption) What\u2019s the question? (interruption) What\u2019s the question? They\u2019re making barn quilts to distract people from the trash and graffiti that they would otherwise see as they drive through town. It\u2019s still there. This is 28 years ago. I offered to move to Rio Linda when I lived there if they would change the name to Limbaugh, California. They turned that down. I also offered to move to West Sacramento if they would change. They turned it down. But, I mean, when I drove through Rio Linda, I was stunned.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_119192\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rio-Linda-Grabs.jpg\" align=\"middle\" \/><br \/>\nThere\u2019s no number on the population sign, on the city limit sign, so nobody admits living there. And I drove the main drag of town and then people\u2019s cars are up on concrete blocks and the washing machines are on the front porch. And I went back to the radio station and asked, &#8220;What is this place?&#8221; It was right near the Air Force base. &#8220;What in the world is this place?&#8221; &#8220;Ah, that\u2019s Rio Linda. Everybody loves Rio Linda.&#8221; So I made it my pet community and so forth.<\/p>\n<p>And did you hear this? She says, &#8220;Rush Limbaugh says some nasty things about our town and it\u2019s not true.&#8221; And then later on, &#8220;When you go and drive down the street, you\u2019re looking for the barn quilts. You don\u2019t notice a lot of trash on the street or graffiti or anything like that.&#8221; It\u2019s&#8230; (laughing) I love Rio Linda. Where would this program be without it? I had heard&#8230; I\u2019ve been told for many, many moons that property values in Rio Linda had skyrocketed since I put the place on the map.
