I stayed at the Hotel Carlton and didn't mind that part of the Tenderloin. Very close to Van Ness for the busses, decent dive bars, etc.

from what everyone i interacted with told me, most of the reasonable hotels (ie, within budget and not sketchy) are in the union square area. i needed to be close to bart, etc.
― tehresa, Monday, 16 April 2012 03:27 (twelve years ago) link
it's just so times square-y and i was so busy that i didn't have time to go to other hoods for dinner most nights, so my stomach was very sad by the time i left.

anyone ever been to an alameda county fair? worth a visit? the website makes it sound pretty lame, but i've never been to a county fair before.
― just1n3, Thursday, 21 June 2012 05:01 (twelve years ago) link
I have a friend who has been a bunch of times -- I think she went a couple of years ago to see Joan Jett iirc? She loves it. Though she usually goes to the weird random headliner and the petting zoo, I never hear much else about the fair haha.
You should go though! I'm sure it'd be fun!
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 21 June 2012 05:16 (twelve years ago) link
It's expensive for what it is. I'd rather go to the state fair.

I've heard rumors that La Rondalla will be returning from the dead btw... we'll see

la rondalla looking closer to open than it has in years, which is kinda inspiring given what-all has actually been opening on Valencia lately... but as you say, we'll see.

I'm pleasantly surprised @ the number of parklets that appeared in this town over the 3 years. there really are quite a few.

I can't even recommend one that meets a) and c) sadly.

Thinking of probably applying to a (very different) job with my former employer in SF.
Obviously, the odds are long but would I move back to the Bay? How is it now? Where would I live?
Honestly this prob. won't happen, but yet...
