It might be known to my cousins as the shop where their once babysitter Ben Harper used to kick around, but to me it is a playground for folk music. Plus, Ben’s brother still runs the place. Here are pictures from when I was there last week. If you go, check out their website ahead [...]

Vancouver, Vancouver, Vancouver! What an incredible place. It is a city that’s close to my heart ever since I spent a year there studying and taking the gondola up Grouse Mountain a few times a week as a volunteer ski patroller. Ah the memories. If you’re headed to see the doubles luge, the curling, the [...]

In New Orleans clocks don’t seem necessary – at all hours there is something fun to do, something delicious to eat, or some new friend to meet. At secret house parties, epicurean denizens, tucked-away jazz halls, and hidden streets, I’ve found treasures here any time of day or night. But now, with the re-opening of [...]

Mignonne Gifts and Decor, currently on 1000 Jefferson Street in Oakland’s Old Town, is moving surely and soonly to Berkeley’s San Pablo Avenue. Benefit from the move by taking part in the 30% sale owner Johnelle is offering – glasses, dishes, wall hangings, and her special refurbished furniture line are all going for less. I’ll [...]

Its been requested that I recommend some of my favorite Vancouver sights and sounds for a pre-Olympic visit, so I find myself happily setting sail down memory lane, to the days when I skipped class to hit the slopes and did my homework perched in an evergreen tree. Ah Vancouver. Any trip to the so-called [...]

Ever find the perfect venue, shop, resource or event in a city where you travel and wish it would come home with you? Its a little like not having a GrassRoutes Guide for a city you’ll soon be traveling to, you just want it! I feel that way about a few things I’ve discovered on [...]

We don’t give the island town of Alameda nearly enough love. Aside from a few prideful residents who pipe up about the wonders of their old school home town, there just isn’t enough love for this picturesque island in the bay.

It’s a clear night and the summer triangle is still shinning above. I trace the little glimmering dots and find Cygnus the swan, then listen below my deck at the Jenner Inn and hear some tiny chirps from nesting coots, my favorite blue-footed birds.

I’ve packed a lot into this past week of Mendocino County travels. Here are a few of my top picks (and a peeves too, for good measure): Shambhala Ranch As the saying goes, “it’s not the destination but the journey that matters,” so too with Shambhala Ranch, named for the owners’ dual vision of heaven [...]
