River Park Shopping Center is a full-service mall. It has a gas station, a drive thru Rite Aid, old…read moreschool Emmy Lou's Diner, a Goodwill, a donut shop, a Carl's Jr, a mattress shop, a new hot dog shop, Wah Sing Chinese restaurant, Valencia taqueria/Mexican grocery, and there will soon be a St. Joseph's clinic. River Park has had its ups&downs. Its Subway is empty most of the time... how it stays open is a miracle. There's a bar, a sketchy looking laundromat, the Fresh&Easy/gym is now a vacant anchor store. The homeless have camped out in the parking lot occasionally. Still, it's hardly a "dead mall." The organic Golden Carrot is gone; they once sold the vegetarian cookbooks of Crescent Dragonwagon&had business cards for chakra/Reiki healers. Of course, the Fresh&Easy spot has been empty for awhile.... luckily, there's a Grocery Outlet, and since they have genuine deals&NO self checkout, they do a business. The Grocery Outlet has benefited the shopping center greatly. The Goodwill is a great place for finding vintage books&vinyl albums. Happy's Donut Tree Too combines beautiful native Cambodian art with affordable coffee&donuts made onsite. Wah Sing Chinese restaurant is a neighborhood gathering place. Valencia Market/Taqueria is underrated, and their tacos el pastor have a prayer. River Park is slowly revitalizing. Hopefully a tenant will soon be found for the former gym/Fresh&Easy. Luckily, it's already flourishing... and unlike Bel Aire, the parking is good&it isn't too hectic.

The food is not basic bar food! The chocolate chip cookie was giant and baked to order, and with sea salt on top! Perfection. The smoked trout dip, stone fruit salad, and ume mocktail was good. They have a bar, and then they have other seating with tables and couches. There's a record section if you want to shop. Old movies were playing on a tv in the back. There was even a DJ!

It has mostly new books and some great quality used books. To the left of the cafe is a huge children's section that includes a great Spanish selection.

My husband found several books and they had a great selection of gifts and unique finds. The staff were super friendly and I saw one helping a young adult find a book. They have a gender neutral restroom in the kids section. There are some small tables and a few chairs inside and outside. I look forward to coming back next time I am in Napa!

California is one of four states that were independent sovereign nations before joining the United States and you get a bonus point if you can name all four. Answer below. The Sonoma Barracks aka the Presidio of Sonoma is free to visit and includes a number of rooms with captions and memorabilia that detail the history of the Bear Flag Republic of California, their independence from Mexico and eventually, their joining the Union. The breakaway state lasted from June 14 to July 9 1846, was never recognized by the United States, never formed a government or passed any laws and while Sonoma was the "Capital", it was never official. There are some docents who can answer questions, an organized tour is available and they have a small gift shop. (The answer to the question of which four states were independent. 1. California which you already know now. 2. The Long Star State, aka Texas, obviously. 3. Hawaii, of course. 4. And the one most people don't know? It's Vermont who were not one of the original Thirteen Colonies. Independent from 1777 to 1791 though never recognized by any other nations.)

After My Own Art…read more Located on 217 acres of pristine Napa Valley land, the Di Rosa is a contemporary art museum that's been operating publicly since 1997. This museum is the personal collection of Rene & Veronica di Rosa. The Good: *Temporary exhibits rotate approximately every four months. *Complimentary umbrellas (more on that later) *A good portion of the exhibits are outdoors along their gorgeous property. *Shuttle if you don't want to or need assistance walking from building to building. *You really have to like weird shit because this place is full of it. Personally, I love it, but if you're more "serious" art person, then this probably won't be your jam. *Picnic tables on the grounds, as you're encouraged to bring food and drink to enjoy in their outdoor area. *Friendly staff The Meh: *General admission of $25 might be a touch high for an art museum. The Ugly: *Be wary when visiting during inclement weather,as there's a large part of this museum that's outdoors. So you'll probably miss out on some of it, but the free umbrellas (mentioned above) did come in handy. Conclusion: Fun art museum with some really cool pieces and doesn't take itself too seriously.
