Welcome to Life in Livermore

This is my first blog so bear with me in learning everything there is to do on blogs! I wanted to make this blog to share information and news about Livermore, CA and in connecting with other people around the bay area in beautiful California.

A little about me. I've lived in Livermore for the majority of my life and have seen it grow from being a bunch of tumbleweeds into the bustling downtown that we now have. I used to hate living in Livermore growing up here and now that I have a family of my own I have a new appreciation for everything that it stands for. I think collectively we're against expansion and want to keep it from becoming the craziness that is the surrounding Dublin and Pleasanton. Don't get me wrong, it's nice to work/visit both of those towns, but it is nice to come home to Livermore where it doesn't take 1/2 an hour to get from one side of the town to the other.

My family and I love living here, when I see our surrounding hills in the distance with the windmills on one side I feel safe and at home. I don't know if anyone else feels this way, but I couldn't imagine not living in our little valley. For instance, when I travel around the bay area and I don't have the hills surrounding me, it just doesn't feel right :)

I hope this gives you some insight into me.

As for this blog, I really want to be able to reach out to everyone in the community and provide a place for people to sound off about our valley area and connect events/places with people. Feel free to share info and news and events with the rest of us!

Much Love - April
