It's all about the Bay Area, baby.

Okay, so you're probably saying to yourself, "What's the deal with the Bay Area?" The deal is that the Bay Area is one of the greatest places on earth. Not only was I born and raised in the Bay, but I also attended the University of California at Berkeley. I am now an alumni and living on Long Island, NY (to be as specific as I'm willing to be), but the Bay Area still reigns supreme in my book. Check out these links to see why.
