San Bruno, San Francisco Alternative – Vegetarian Friendly City

July 31, 2008 · Shokoofeh Nowbakht · 1 Comment

San Bruno – I call it San Francisco alternative for several reasons. Besides very affordable housing, it is a incredibly vegetarian friendly city. Down Town San Bruno or more specifically “The Avenue” has several restaurants which serve varieties of vegetarian as well as vegan foods. Whether you’re craving Chinese, Japanese, Mexican, Indian, Mediterranean or Italian, you will find a place to grab a fabulous meal to enjoy.

“Can I really buy a house at the mall?”

July 29, 2008 · Jean Joh · 2 Comments

This question was posed to me as I sat at our Prudential kiosk in the Serramonte Mall. I was caught a little off guard. “Well, sort of…” was my awkward response. The amiable woman followed up with another question, “So, can I just buy a house here like a pair of shoes and then return it if it doesn’t fit?” We had a nice laugh together over that one.

San Bruno Fourth of July

San Bruno Fourth of July is always a lot of fun for its residents and visitors alike. Safe and sane firework sales go to non profit organizations throughout San Bruno. We were at our friend’s house on San Bruno Ave. the whole evening and had such a blast with 4 other families and our kids. We did fireworks in their driveway and celebrated with chile con carne, potatoe salad and nachos. Mmmmmm…good!

Not only are fireworks and barbecues a BIG and exciting draw for our city but we have the BEST Pee Wee Baseball tournaments for miles! This past July 4th, 5th and 6th our San Bruno 10U and 8U teams won their championships and we are PROUD! We were supporting our friends the whole weekend at San Bruno Park and Parkside Middle School from 8 am to 5pm each day. The weekend was full of sun, fun and PLENTY of BASEBALL! For more info check out this site! www.sanbrunopeeweebaseball.org
