Looks awesome. I checked out their website. Live music tomorrow nite with band playing Tom Petty and The Band. Right up my sweet spot! No Music in our county, barely outside dining and who wants to dine outside when it's 116?

Good German Food and Great Beer. Drindles and Lederhosen occasionally. Lots of local music ... rock and pop ... go there more
often now than pre covis b/c of the seating outside. High so far 96 here, maybe 10 degrees less on the river.

I took this on the San Francisco Bay Trail Summer before last near Palo Alto I believe. A nearby exit sign on HWY 101 read "Embarcadero Rd / Oregon Expwy".

The larger than life sculpture is by James Moore.

The San Francisco Bay Trail is planned to circumnavigate San Francisco Bay. As of this Summer 356 miles are open. 500 miles are planned.

A couple of front gardens, and a side of the fence planting.

I pass this ewok on the way to work every morning. He's kind of hard to spot right now because of the sunflowers at the front of the yard.

Returned for supper last night, temps in high 70s, live music on the deck, small and socially distanced crowd ... hard to get there on my bike b/c of heavily trafficed highway leading to the bridge over the Susquehana, so we put bikes in the van,and only rode around the area ...

I would think that could be socially distanced work ... 60 feet up in the air is pretty distanced. BTW a pretty bike ... a Trek?
