Look what we FOUND.
Posted December 17th, 2008 by tyler
Not only is Petaluma a great place to live, it is a great place to shop.
We found some incredibly creative, whimsical, unique and useful items—
many of which are made right here in our own backyard.

Tasty-Cheap-Eats
Posted November 26th, 2008 by tyler
Making it work locally is what projectHERE is all about.
On the topic of tasty-cheap-eats, it makes sense to seek council from the “masters” themselves.
So, we posed this question to local chefs and culinary foodies:
What meal would you prepare for about $2 per person?
Over the coming weeks we’ll share their answers and welcome your recipes as well.

Door2Door Volume One
Posted September 29th, 2008 by tyler
What do you get when you take a camera and go door-to-door in Petaluma?
A very clear picture of a truly eclectic, creative town.
We want to thank everyone that submitted a photo to Volume One of the Door2Door event. We would also like to thank John and Anne-laure for supplying the AQUS Cafe for the evening, Bug from Heritage Salvage for supplying the 200 year old teak door that provided the backdrop for Paige Green to take her amazing photos (password AQUS).
And a huge thank you to Jeff Troiano and Steve Della Maggiora for their local music flair.
Please stop by and see the full tapestry at AQUS Cafe, it should be there for about a month.
And if you were not able to submit your door to the project, be on the lookout for Volume 2 which will hopefully be coming around the first part of 2009.
