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 [...]
Driving north on 6th Street I had a hard time making it through the D Street intersection. The traffic on D Street seemed to be backed up as far I could see. I then remembered that it was Friday afternoon and the draw bridge was probably up in order to [...]
You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I’m not hungry enough to eat six. - Yogi Berra There is something unique and organic about firing a pizza with natural wood in an earthen oven… more than just the natural smoky flavor. Did you know that a wood [...]
Showers? …”bring May flowers” is the way I learned it as a child, and I guess this year holds true to that adage. The flowers are prolific, whether they are the roses of our residential streets or the wildflowers at Helen Putnam and Shollenberger Park. But I can’t remember a [...]
The Petaluma City Council will meet tonight to discuss, among other things, increasing the Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT). This is a terrible idea and if you care about Petaluma and its economic prosperity, I encourage you to attend the meeting and voice your opposition. For those of you [...]
…well, okay, maybe it isn’t good for your diet but as I like to say, “It is good for the soul!” A Betweenkie is a slice of cupcake heaven that is sure to quash your Twinkie carving for ever more. What? You don't have Twinkie cravings? Well, you are going [...]

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.)
