Frog Hollow RC Hobby Shop is making a jump to College Place, along with Binder Sign & Design.
The two established businesses are moving from Lowden to 335 N. College Ave., where they will share space. Owners Scott and Rose Binder say the new location is more accessible to customers and provides room for future growth. The official opening is scheduled for Oct. 1.

The building most recently served as home to College Place restaurant Train Station 335. Before that it was Bailey's Cove & Coffee.
Binder Sign and Design, opened 12 years ago, offers commercial signs, lettering, decals, graphics and more. The 5-year-old Frog Hollow RC specializes in radio control hobbies, including airplanes, cars, boats, helicopters and more.
Both businesses will operate seven days a week. For more information call 525-4461.
Call it a case of mistaken identity.
When Banner Bank announced employees will volunteer to paint the home of LaVonne Reser for the company's Paint the Town event, some local residents got confused as to why the well-known owner of multiple properties was chosen for the program that helps lower income seniors and the disabled with their home maintenance.
The answer: Walla Walla is home to two LaVonne Resers.
The Maple Street resident whose home will be painted by Banner employees this weekend is LaVonne C. Reser. She had been confused with LaVonne L. Reser, who owns numerous properties throughout the community and makes her own home on Last Chance Road.
Mystery solved.
