Barnes and Noble-Fairfield CA

There is a certain comfort to know that bookstores are still around.  Tablets are great when you want a quick read between meetings, a download in an airport, or for the sake of convenience.  There is an aesthetic feeling of actually handling a book.  Given that you can highlight a paragraph, or not have to worry about losing your bookmark when you use a tablet. 

Perhaps, it's the nerdy feeling of walking through the aisles of a bookstore, grabbing a corner chair to read and thumb through a few pages before purchase.  The tablets don't have the artistry or allure of book covers that causes curiosity.  

Then there is the children's corner, where parents lovingly read stories.  The tables and carpets are bright.  Also, the music section where we can purchase good old fashioned Vinyl records or listen to cd's.   

Barnes and Nobles bookstores seem are few and far in between.  It seems like perhaps downloading a book is the way to go.  The entrance features a Nook stand.  Then again, there is a magazine corner and a Starbuck's coffee shop.  The loyal book patrons are still thumbing through pages with a cup of java in hand.

"Will Making Workshop" March 2015

Supporting our local community here in Vallejo attorneys Kathleen D. Benjamin & Karren Moore-Jordan Two caring female attorneys who offered their time, knowledge, and a will upon completion at an affordable price.  Based on their own experiences, and understanding that having our papers in order, these women conduct a workshop to help their clients make their personal choices in regards to personal property.   We are not promised tomorrow.  We never know when an untimely circumstance will affect our lives.  Their message is to take stock of your life, and make things easier for your family and loved ones.

Celebrating our Bay Area Communities

This page is dedicated to our local Bay Area Communities here in Northern California.  The American Constitution protects the freedom of enterprise through a system of laws through "Liberty and Freedom of Choice". It was not too long ago, when the American Dream only imagined being able to use technology through portable telephones, communicate via television, and the ability to reach other parts of the world in nano-seconds.   The day has come, technology has made its strides and it continues to thrive.  In the same vein, free enterprise still exists and flourishes in our local communities. The artists, the local grocers, the attorneys, the accountants, photographers, videographers, the auto-repair specialists, the home based businesses such as the travel professionals are still making their mark.   They are the people, who remind us that connections still exists through friendship.  We as a nation have the choice to honor our local businesses and share those pe
