'Somewhere along the line, the Bay Area got smaller.'
Somewhere along the line, the Bay Area got smaller. It became San Francisco, the East Bay, bits of Marin and the Peninsula, depending on who you’re talking to. The North Bay is regularly left out of the conversation; or, just as egregiously, it gets lumped in with the East Bay. It’s an accidental exclusion of over a third of the counties in the Bay Area.
I am not trying to be overly dramatic about a chicken restaurant. There are bigger battles to fight in the Bay Area, of course, and this one doesn’t make the top 10, nor should it. But a little part of me winces every time the Bay Area discourse leaves out hundreds of thousands of people — people with the same struggles, the same love for this vibrant, weird, f—ked up region — who also want to fix those top 10 problems.
So, my dear Bay Area, don’t forget about your quiet corners, your flat suburbs and your tucked-away hillsides. And even if the only thing you remember about my hometown is cursing the slowdown that happens every afternoon between Fairfield and Dixon, at least it’ll give you an excuse to stop at the Bay Area’s first Raising Cane’s for dinner.
