somebody make a lot of noise: it's my 500th blog post! woot woot woot!
it's been 4 years and 500 posts on this blog and it's kinda cool to have something to go to and take a walk down memory lane. i was never good at keeping a journal or a diary, but this format has made it fun to share stories, things i like and everything in between.
with this exciting post i have some really exciting news! i am packing my bags and moving back across the bridge to the east bay. a decision made due to a few different factors but mostly because of money - like every other decision that i make. i'm looking forward to my new home, wherever it may be, in berkeley or oakland. joe and i have been scouring craigslist, padmapper and property management sites looking to see what's out there and the good news is that there is so much available right now. the problem is that we've fallen for twice places that have been snatched up from us already. but we know that we'll find the perfect match for us.
the fun thing about moving to the east bay is that it's a whole new area to explore. there are a lot of restaurants and bars i've always wanted to check out but never have. mostly due to my own proximity to public transportation that takes me to the east bay. i know i'll be in sf every day for work and seeing friends so now i feel like i'll have an opportunity to make the best of both sides of the bay.
what are your favorite places in berkeley or oakland?
i can't wait to buy groceries at berkeley bowl, drink at trappist, ride my bike around the lake and shop on 4th street.
