Buh-bye, Bay Area; Hello, Boston!

June 1, 2012 in Family, Twitter

100 Manzanita Ave.After 17 years in the Bay Area (for me) and almost 30 years for Cathy, we’ve decided to unhitch our wagons and do the reverse westward-ho. As Californians like to say, we’re going “back east.”

The realtor’s web site can be found at 100manzanita.com

100 Manzanita Ave., San Carlos, CA
