It took me about 5 years to really like Sacramento. Before that, I missed living in the Bay area for some of the same reasons (including Zachary's Pizza) and the cool BA weather. Now, I've discovered some of the hidden gems of living in Sacramento, and I just love it here. My life style changed a bit, but now I'm more into outdoor activities. Give it some time, and you'll discover the hidden riches of Vancouver. The other benefit of living in Vancouver is probably the low crime rate.

Luckily, I have a Peet's coffee within 10 minutes from my home. Perhaps you can consider having a member ship you Peet's coffee? Will that be less expensive? If you do the research (shipping cost, paypal fees, no duties?), and realize it is significant enough savings, send me a PM, and I'll ship a few bags to you (I work across the street from the post office).

Haha cute wifey, but yeah what is up with Asians and the FOB "peace" sign in all the pics? I hate it when my relatives do it when taking pics.

Ok guys, I need a bit of help, I recently was in Sacramento and some Bay Area. I was with a friend and he was on another friend's myspace page today. The thing is this kid says this is his house in Sacramento/Laguna Area. Ok now I saw enough of Sac and there arent any palm trees or lush greenery in Sacramento like this. I mean Sac is inland, sure there are nice houses, that I saw, but no boat docks and board walks. So I raised the BS flag on that house initially, but figured lemme check in with my Z brethrens. Bay area guys do you think this house in Sacramento or its just some pic of a house from Miami/LA which I think it is?

Elk Grove/Laguna has a few man-made-lake communities. I have a friend that lives in one. His house is not of the same style, but probably just as big. You can grow palm trees there, and the greenery is lush because they probably water the hell out of their yard. So, I'd say it might not be BS.
