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 [...]
"His defeat is like an eclipse of the Sun or Moon; does it harm the brightness of these bodies?" - (from a speech made in 597 BC, in support of a general who had recently suffered defeat, and was in danger of execution. He was reinstated!)*** [...]

You won't find this listed in Petaluma360's "Things to do in Petaluma this weekend." Rumor has it that Petaluma will be graced with Santas today. That’s right, “Santas”…plural. If you have been waiting all year to see Santa arrive via the lighted boat parade this evening, you may want to [...]
Heather Irwin, of the infamous Bite Club blog, is running her yearly search for the Top 25 restaurants in Sonoma County. If you don't follow her blog, you should because she is at the center of all things food here in Sonoma County. If she isn't a judge at the [...]
I am not one to fall blindly for the “try new things” school of thought. If I know something is good there are ample reasons to stick with it. I have been burned many times by eating at a restaurant and instead of ordering an old standby, I opt for [...]
Petaluma Pete’s piano is as brightly colored as his act. They both make me smile. Even when I encounter his piano sitting patiently in its downtown storage space, it reminds me of all the times I have heard and seen Petaluma Pete playing it around downtown Petaluma. Sometimes Petaluma Pete [...]
It has come to my attention that there have been some slight adjustments to the restaurant scene here in Petaluma. Some of these I have witnessed first-hand, while others are mere hearsay, so take this blog with a grain of salt. (Pun intended) If you know of any new places [...]
YOUR VOTE IS NEVER WASTED AS LONG AS YOU VOTE YOUR CONSCIENCE. Three voting myths: Voting Myth #1: A single person won’t make a difference. TRUTH: This is a misleading statement because it ignores the fact that we “single persons" can group together to make a very powerful and meaning [...]

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.)
