Moving to Bay Area

[Clever_Iggy]

Hey all. I have an internship in the east bay area this summer. Just wondering how many CP people are out there and if any one can offer advice for places to live, stuff to do, etc...

Thanks!

East Bay? Hmm. North or South of Oakland?

I want to move there permanently. Excellent place to be.

Well Im working in Walnut Creek... I think Ill try and live in Berkeley but Ive only been there once and I dont really know anyone or good things to do (other than the typical tourist things - the Rock, GGBridge, etc...).

Walnut creek is great. Lots of little restaurants.

Berkeley is great since you're still a student. Lots of students live around there. Again some great places to eat.

If you like Wine, it's wine country in Napa. Make sure you take a trip out there.

I'd live in either Berkeley or Walnut Creek.

Move to Candlestick... yeah. Driving through there makes Compton look tame.

I have friends who live in Pleasanton. Nice area close to the bay but at the same time far from the worst parts of living in a large urban center. It's nicely situated between SF/Oakland and San Jose. And John Madden lives there.

Check it out, we enjoyed our visit there.
