Having recently sold an amazing
2 story loft with 2 bedrooms, 3 baths and 20 ft ceilings in Fruitvale, I was researching
the neighborhood and found that the Jingletown Arts & Business Community is

Alameda. There will be food trucks featuring delicious...

venture much into the Northern part of San Rafael except for an occasional trip
to the bid "E" at Northgate Mall, a
summer splash at the Terra Linda rec
center pool and of course my annual adventure to the Marin County Fair. In fact, as a SRHS Bulldog, Terra Linda was the rivalling land. All that changed when I bought my first house
in the early ‘90's in Terra Linda. It

Tales From The Trenches Part 2 -
This past spring my Sellers put their Fairfax hillside home on the market. It was a lovely, mostly remodeled, 2600 sq. foot rancher with views, a small patio in the front and a lovely deck in the back overlooking Cascade Canyon. The lower level had it's own living room, small -non conforming- kitchen, bedroom and remodeled high end bath.

Who will take care of Mittens and Socks when you're out of town for the holidays? Not to
be confused with Dogs who love you and want to be with you. Dogs will gladly hop in the backseat and go anywhere you go. Better yet,
most motels and hotels would rather have a dog for a guest than actual people.
Cats, on the other hand, are a horse of a different color, so to speak. They don't want to go with you and you don't
want to go with them! That's not to say you don't love your furry friends but they don't take kindly to change and travel.That's why the Cat's Cradle was invented. Conveniently located in ...
