Cinderella, "Coming Home"

In the summer of 1988, my friends and I did what a lot of local families do: go out to Brentwood farms, and pick fruit. Hot as hell out there.

Something about the bluesy hard rock of Cinderella's "Coming Home" felt right.

And when we did come home to San Francisco, oh did we love the cool and refreshing coastal fog! This summer is the first in what seems like 20 years, that San Francisco has been fogged in. And when we listen to "Coming Home," we lament that unaffordable real estate prices have driven all but the richest out.

Lummy,
Cherries are almost over for this year- but the rest of the stone fruit is coming in strong
I haven't been east for fruit this year-
But there is a place in Dry Creek valley (sonoma) that has amazing peaches - s/b ready in a few weeks-
Word is that grapes are 3-4 weeks late this year...
Happy Listening

  In the late-90s, my friend Sau Lai worked somewhere not too far from the San Francisco Costco, near the 101/80 split. Her boyfriend (now husband) lived in the South Bay and worked for HP. Since his clients were international, he was granted permission to work from anywhere. So, he bought a new house in Brentwood. Even after fees, the cost was under $300k. The thought was that he'd be closer to family in Sacramento, but not so close, that they'd come over all the time.
  
  From Brentwood, Sau Lai had to drive to Pittsburg/Bay Point BART, and go all the way to, I believe, 16th & Mission station. Her parents lived near S.F. General Hospital, so after she got married, Sau Lai and her husband would spend a couple midweek nights there.
  
  As S.F. residents moved to the East Bay, East Bay residents then moved to Pacheco, Antioch, and Brentwood. Brentwood still has some farms, but they are now buttressed by housing developments.
