Yes, we already have a couple of good food trucks, like El Roy's on Washington and Lakeville, but The Block Petaluma is promising a whole new experience. Although details are still in the works, so far I have gleaned that they [...]
PETALUMA RIVER CLEANUP - 20th Anniversary - Saturday, May 3, 2013 - 8am signup at the Marina, or register online using the link below. The Petaluma River is so much more than the murky strip of water that weaves through our little slice of heaven. It is our largest park [...]
About this time last year, I came across a Groupon deal for a helicopter tour based out of the Petaluma airport. The tour by Heloventure was offered for two passengers and was deeply discounted - more than what I normally find on Groupon. If you don't know, helicopter and airplane tours are quite [...]
If you want to use the D Street bridge on a Friday afternoon, you are going to run the risk of getting stuck in traffic. With boaters sailing in from all over the west coast, it is not unusual to see the bridge raised at least once an hour for [...]
THE MUSEUM IS HAVING IT ONCE YEARLY OPEN HOUSE THIS SATURDAY, JULY 9, 2011, FROM 10AM - 4PM. And if you stop in to Yanni's Sausage (I never pass through Penngrove without stopping in for one of their homemade sausages), tell them Houston sent you. They are just about the [...]

The first major event of the year is upon us, and it is shaping up to be a good one. I was downtown hanging a banner for the upcoming Great Petaluma Chili Cookoff, Salsa, and Beer tasting event and witnessed some rare sites. (Save the date for Chili - it is [...]

Meat Two Ways. …on a stick…and in a bowl!
My name is Houston and I am a Petalumaholic. If it has to do with Petaluma, I am reading about it, visiting it, playing in it, or eating it. I try to participate wherever I can in this community that I under-appreciated as a kid. A big fan of food, I revel in Petaluma’s vast and diverse restaurant, brewery, and winery scene and volunteer or visit every Petaluma food festival, event, or “feed” that I can. I am an Elite Yelp reviewer and in my free time blog as often as I can about the food, as well as the parades, festivals, events, people, and businesses that make Petaluma such a great place to live.
I encourage your feedback and look forward to serving the community through Petaluma 360. If you want to follow my blog without having to log into Petaluma360 you can do so by adding my feed to your homepage. Click on the orange “RSS” button at the bottom right of this webpage. Copy the web address of that link and then open your normal Yahoo (or whatever) homepage. There should be an “add content” option which will allow you add RSS feeds. The link on your homepage is minimal in size but it helps my page gain popularity, which I greatly appreciate, and will encourage me to “rant, rave and review” more often.
I love me some piggy belly!!! (at Tara Firma Farms, getting in touch with my inner pig farmer. They are located at the end of I St. and are open to the public from sunrise until sunset with numerous hiking trails and lots of farming.)
