Petaluma360 reports that the misguided youth that has been tagging public spaces all over the West Coast with “berg” and “greb” has finally been identified. He was arrested at his parent’s home, here in Petaluma. Although most are please, there seem to be a few that are defending him and [...]
MY STORM ADVICE... Do NOT stay inside. Okay, I'm not suggesting that you stay outside exclusively but I'd highly recommend dawning your rain gear (if you have any) and at least walking up and down your street...maybe walk around the block if you are feeling adventurous. First off, it will [...]
There is nothing quite so disheartening (and infuriating?) as a measuring cup that “spills” instead of “pours.” I shouldn't have to pour at a microscopically precise angle and an infinitesimally precise volume in order to have it pour properly. I'm talking to you Pyrex!!! You deliver never ending disappointment. You [...]

...then do THIS! Tickets are only $12 for adults and $7 for kids 12 years old and younger. You aren't going to find a better deal anyway...and nothing will make dad happier than this casual BBQ. Tell him to throw on some shorts and flip-flops because you are [...]
If you haven't been down to the river recently, you really need to. It is turning into a wonderful hub of activity and is really starting to come into its own as Petaluma's larger park. Don't have your own water craft? ...The Petaluma Small Craft [...]

I cannot keep the secret any longer!!! You live/dine in Petaluma so you are clearly the "initiated" [...]
Anyone that knows my mother knows that she is a giver. She gives of herself to her family and gives of herself to her community. It is the rare Petaluma non-profit that doesn't have her on their roster of volunteers. She is the first one they call when they need [...]
...on the way to the Wild Goat Bistro with my mother and my three year old niece... Me: What are you going to order for lunch? Niece: Bacon. Me: what?... Niece: B A C O N!!!! (…leaning forward in her seat and growling) Me: Don't you want something else [...]
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.)
