My favorite county library! Location has plenty of free parking, beautiful grounds (I encourage you…read moreto walk around), and building itself is well maintained. The inside of the library is beautiful with high ceilings and lots of natural light. You'll find plenty of space to sit, there are single chairs available, as well as, desks with electrical outlets - your choice of street or garden view. There's a children and teen section too, as well as, charging stations through out the library. Bathrooms are kept very clean. You have access to free wi-fi, printing services, bookstore, computer access, etc... COVID Precautions: following county mandates - staff wears mask and guests are also now required to wear mask too. Desks and areas to sit are spaced out for social distancing. Hand sanitizer available for guests throughout library.

I had the pleasure of visiting this community library in Penngrove, CA called The Sitting Room…read moretoday. It is in a private individual's home who has opened her lovely house to the public as a library of books centering women writers. The whole place was extremely charming and well organized, with various rooms representing different collections such as poetry, the performing arts, an entire section dedicated to books by and about Virginia Woolf, a beautiful altar setup to Maya Angelou and her books, complete with a powerful quote of hers on the wall, several bookcases of publications by lesbian writers which were built "into a closet," funnily enough, and a whole room dedicated to the obituaries of noteworthy women. This place is a vast archive of relevant materials all focused on women authors and thinkers. The grounds, including the back and front yards, are beautified by numerous standing redwoods towering over the house. It created a very welcoming sanctuary that made you really want to sit there and browse and read for hours. All of this is dedicated to women writers. J.J. Wilson and her staff of enthusiastic volunteers are to be highly credited and praised for giving this unique and beautiful gift to our community. Such a rich and exciting dwelling place, and community center for us all to enjoy! I highly recommend you visit! Go check it out, and set aside a few hours for browsing and sampling, like a visit to a bakery for those of us who love to read.

There is a little kitchen too so you can serve some snacks to your group. I found this place because I was invited to an event for the women who work at Sonoma State. We had a lovely time, sipping wine and eating snacks, relaxing in the garden. I found a book on my way out, and one of the volunteers was happy to chat with me about it and let me take it right away. Can you believe it?? This is truly a spot for book lovers. They just let you take books -- no membership card, no due dates, just readers creating a space for each other. It is a really quaint and relaxing place. I can't believe more people don't know about it!

**FULL DISCLOSURE: THIS IS FOR THE POP UP DRIVE-IN EVENTS DURING COVID**…read more This is for their pop up drive-in events that the City of Cotati have been holding since Covid hit. It's held in the lot right off the freeway across from Peet's Coffee. I was fortunate enough to purchase an online ticket for the viewing of Hocus Pocus which was held on Friday 10/23/2020. $25 per car so if there are 4 or 5 people in the car it's still less than going to the actual movie theater (when they were open) at matinee prices. What was nice about this event was it wasn't on some huge plot of land or grass, it was just a small number of cars allowed (maybe 50, give or take). When you check in they hand you a piece of paper which tells you which radio station you need to have tuned in to listen to the movie. My suggestion is to bring a handheld radio with you instead of using your car radio especially if you have a weak car battery. They had Wingman food truck there selling some awesome wings!! Also, there was another vendor there (can't remember their name) and they were selling various prepackaged popcorn that they make with flavors from plain to kettlecorn and everything in between. Or you could just bring your own food & beverage & not have to worry about sneaking it in like the movie theaters. LOL The people who were checking in all cars were great. And when people tried to come in after the movie had started (the place was sold out so this would be people who had not purchased a car ticket & weren't on their list) these individuals quickly ran to the entrance to deal with them. Only thing was they really needed to tell these people while they were talking to them for 30 seconds to 3 minutes, to turn off their headlights as it was blinding several cars including the one I was in so it made it difficult to see the movie. This happened over a half a dozen times, which gets old. My suggestion would be to find some way to block the entrance so the cars are stopped before they get into the lot. Other than that I think it was a pretty good event and I'm sure previous events were just as fun. If these pop up drive-ins continue and they are showing a movie you'd like to see I suggest you purchase your ticket online through the City of Cotati and get out and see a movie!

The Weills live in Sonoma and I joke that after his years at Travelers, Citicorp and Shearson he's been trying to buy back his soul. [My dad worked for him in one of their many satellite offices, my sister and I met Sandy Weill in an elevator, funny story] The Weills' money is quietly invested here in the beautiful Green Music Center at Sonoma State College in a natural landscape filled with field flowers and lush grasses. The campus itself is spread out with plentiful student housing rumored to be pretty posh and spacious. Sonoma State seems to have a focus on liberal arts with a concentration in the arts and STEM. The outdoor pool adjacent to the gym is pretty good but the locker rooms are dated, cramped and dirty and in need of an overhaul. You'll see evidence of Peanuts' Charles Schulz at Sonoma State. He was a Sonoma resident as well. Nice campus, small, quiet, tucked away in wine country.

I have always been impressed by the design of this place. Something right out of Vegas! Clean very clean. Even the bathrooms. Rumor had it when it first opened that the restaurants that line the interior walls of the casino were WAY too overpriced. For sure Park 360 is on the pricey side, but they serve a Filet Mignon that you would fight your grandma for. Tony's of North Beach is reasonably priced. One of the best pizzas I have EVER enjoyed was served to me here. Just a Classic pepperoni and sausage, but my oh my, it's something in the sauce. (The pizza was also worth wrestling grandma for) A few months after they opened I came by around the holidays to see the place for the first time. The slots were tight tight tight. Came back rarely. Started going back, it seems like the slots are relaxed now, you can actually win. Take it from someone who knows, the slots run hot and cold in cycles. Just like all casinos. If they deny it they are lying. Nobody in the industry will cop to that. A personal note: I have a Rewards Card but I do not use it. Anything that goes in that machine while you are operating it, has the POTENTIAL to alter the outcome. It also destroys my mojo! Last month I made $30,000 on slots in a week. My wife uses her card and made $1500. Ya see? Anyway, it's close, it's clean and you CAN win there. The trick is to leave right after you do. If you don't there is a really good chance you will put all or part of it back.
