It's true! Everybody was staring at her and whispering when we went there yesterday!
That's so cool! You guys are, like, wicked famous!
Well, at least RF is.
Thank you, thank you. You're a nobody around here until you're name-dropped by the Walnut Creek Farmer's Market. It's already gone straight to her head...
For those of us who lived in Berkeley, Walnut Creek is basically the Iowa that's conveniently located nearby. As in, if the topic of a party comes up, and then someone says it's in Walnut Creek, it's a guarantee that someone in the room will go "ugh."
Oh, I kid the WC. It's nice, I just tease because it's a 25 minute drive in the opposite direction of SF. The Bay Area gets rapidly sticks-ish the more you venture away from it; Walnut Creek and Concorde are still very suburby. Not unlike parts of New England except that it never, ever snows.
That's great about the newsletter. Man, I love that helmet/goggles combo, and her bike is cool!
Iowa? That might be the most insulting thing I've ever heard!
Walnut Creek is a rich, snooty suburb. Kind of like Barrington except 10 times bigger and the snobbery is justified. It's absolutely gorgeous and boasts Mt. Diablo, the biggest mountain in the Bay area. I work in the Creek and personally I would kill to live there. Concord is a lot sketchier but still has its charms (mainly the water slide.)
Berkeley is like another planet. It's the closest thing to Amsterdam that this country has. I'll admit that I'm not nearly cool enough to live there. It's impossible to walk 100 feet without getting approached by 100 people about 100 different things. The downside is that most of the year it's 10 degrees colder and cloudier than WC because of the ridge that seperates them.
I hang my head in shame to write what I am about to write, but.....
I am about to leave SF after being here since Thursday and it is like 67 and GORGEOUS here, and will be 14 upon my landing in Philly in the morning. Also the people of SF make me laugh, they all warn me about the neighborhood around the Hilton, and I wonder if their heads would explode if they saw a really bad neighborhood in Philly, DC, New York, etc.
(Here comes the shame) Apparently the West does have some small measure of redeeming qualities....
Oh Miko! You fell into their trap! the warm weather has melted your braaaaaaaaiiiiinnnnn!
Actually, I have always loved CA.
I think we both know DCD that my brain had problems long before California got to it.....
"Iowa? That might be the most insulting thing I've ever heard!"
Yes!
That's true about the ten degrees colder thing. I was coming towards Berkeley from beyond The Hills one time in a convertible, and I felt the temperature drop like I was passing through a curtain.
