Pacifica: A Little Known Beach Getaway Gem

Imagine you have out-of-state houseguests asking where they can go to experience a small ocean beach town here in Northern California. It has happened to us, and our current recommendation of Pacifica may surprise some. You might expect us to mention Santa Cruz or Half Moon Bay, and both are great choices and probably better known.

2014 Hair Trends

Barbershops have been around for thousands of years. Beyond just getting groomed, going to the barber meant going to a place where men could gather and discuss topics of the day. (And if you were lucky, your barber could also pull teeth and perform surgical procedures. Quite the one-stop shop.) Meanwhile, women stayed at home to have their hair arranged, or “dressed.” […]

Western British Columbia

Beautiful Victoria and Vancouver have long been on our bucket list for an extended stay, and a few months ago we fulfilled that dream.

The Breakfast Club

Eating breakfast out is one of those things that has to be done right to make it worth the while. Luckily, we here in San Joaquin County have plenty of options to fulfill that need, from greasy spoon diners, to waterfront views, to high-end farm-to-table fare. Many (in fact, most) of the breakfast spots on our list have developed a cult-like following, so while you may have to wait to be seated, it’s a small price to pay for the food and the service you’ll receive. Indeed, just one bite of a crepe at Midtown, the Poor Man’s Benedict at Avenue, or a giant pancake at Chuck’s, may make you want to start a Breakfast Club of your own. If you’re looking for a local place to break your fast, look no further. […]
