Plaintiff Steve McKinney, a resident of Newbury Park who was hired by Scale AI’s subsidiary Outlier AI as a “tasker,” sued the company in December alleging he was promised a pay rate of $25 per hour but was ultimately paid only a fraction of that amount.

Denise McKinney says she has probably somewhere close to half a million matchbooks tucked away inside her Riverside home.

What the collector says: As a local, McKinney has known about the Farm House for years.

“They had to do their best to get people to stay there,” McKinney says, “so they had to advertise what they had versus the hotel next door, because they literally were all right next to each other like boom, boom, boom.”

That’s why, McKinney says, motels like the Red Apple and William Tell chose to brand themselves so distinctively.
