Dick Jordan’s Bay Model Article
August 13, 2009 | 1 Comment
Dick Jordan’s Contra Costa Times article about the Bay Model is a good example of seeing local hidden gems as attractions worthy of travel articles. And check out his Blogspot website, Tales Told from the Road, which does a great job of incorporating Facebook, Twitter, a photo slideshow, and an RSS feed. Nice work, Dick.

Fresh and Local
September 5, 2007 | Leave a Comment
Scott Fisher’s other blog, Fresh and Local, promises to be good reading; I’m going to keep an eye on it. The site will include “a directory of local farms, farmers’ markets, wineries, artisanal bakeries and cheese makers, and the like, as well as restaurants.” Scott is a knowledgeable food and wine critic; it was my great pleasure to dine with him recently in San Francisco.
