Why did you leave silicone valley? Tired of the traffic Or didn’t wanna wait around for the big one? One of my favorite restaurants was in Berkeley called Wellingtons. The beef Wellington melted in your mouth. I don’t understand why they close all the best places.
I took my cousin to Santa Cruz back in September and I couldn’t believe how desolate the place looked. about four cars parked in front of the boardwalk I’m not one car in the lot . I think we only passed one person on the boardwalk. Of course everything was closed except one place to get something to eat. Even the candy store was closed so why would the Dream Inn be full. I did get some candy downtown however were quite expensive at least I thought it was. It was $75 a pound. I like See’s candy better & it’s only $27 a pound.
Have you ever seen the boardwalk this deserted? there were only about four cars including mine in front of the boardwalk and not one car in the parking lot. 5 or 6 on the street. The beach pic is the most crowded one. Can't find the boardwalk pic but 1 person at most.
Take care,
Jake

why did I leave California? The big earthquake in 1989. I had a 2 hour commute one way to work to Hewlett-Packard, so 4 hours in my car each day. I didn't want to live in my car. I had to commute from Fremont to Cupertino, just 20 miles. I started riding my bike back and forth! I've never seen Santa Cruz like that! That is so sad! I remember jammed packed freeways and malls. I love Santa Cruz!
