Redding sucks dude, i've had to stay there so many times by force, once my car broke down in the siskiyou pass and had to get it towed to Redding and wait 18 hours til' it was fixed, another time there was too much snow in the mountains and had to stay in Redding overnight. I have never successfully had any fun there you should just stay in your motel room and catch up on cable tv. My friend pete ended up in jail there once so remember it could be worse.
