Local Christmas Experiment: Part 3 – Ornaments, Hats, and Cards Did we find local ornaments? Yes, we found local ornaments. We found a local artist with handmade ornaments, fashioned from recycled antique-y kinds of things, like bells and balls and books. We could not have been more excited. The prices [...]
It is a bit early for spring cleaning but for a lot of us that pile in the corner of the garage is something we swear to address every waking New Year’s morning. If yours is like mine, it is more than a mere pile in a corner. It either [...]
Nothing gets my attention quicker than the sight of cup cakes (except, maybe the sight, sound, smell, or mention of bacon.) Personally, I love attending a party where cup cakes are served instead of other Zerts. That way I get to taste a number of different flavors without completely destroying [...]
When I first moved back to Petaluma, I attended and fell in love with Taste of Petaluma “TOP”. But with my passion for food, and all things local, I had a few suggestions for the organizers to improve on their already great event. Inevitably, they asked me to “do” not [...]
I’d like to share with you some information I have learned in my years of voting for County Supervisors, both in and out of our county. County Supervisors have almost no jurisdiction over city affairs. Other than a few things like Highway 101, and the rare issue of mobile home [...]
Your vote matters…but make it count. I have tried to vote in every election since my 18th birthday – it’s an obligation more than a right. The rest of the world wants to either be here or be us, and a big part of calling ourselves American revolves [...]

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.)
