  1. Thanks, came through restaurant so was hoping for a deal, but turns out not the case. Agree if I were making such purchases (and had such opportunities!) I’d go with Overnoy, but I’m not. Especially when Labet and Tissot are still like 1/20th the price.
  2. Yeah there aren’t really any casual music spots uptown in that vein. Maybe Bon Temp on Mag or Chloe/columns on St Charles? WWOZ Livewire is the central repository for all music bookings in the city. Check that out.
  3. Anyone ever able to try Domaine de Miroirs? Have access to some ‘13 and ‘14s that came into town. Pricing is beyond absurd for Jura but they are on my bucket list and I’ve never seen them in the wild…
  4. If you’re going up to Ridge, Unti is a good property to stop by on the way.
  5. Importer/distributor are for me the biggest proxy for quality if I don’t know the producer.
  6. France, and maybe some Italy, imo.
  7. It’s driven mainly by natives leaving due to housing crisis and lack of job opportunities that can afford said housing crisis.
  8. Who is distributing her stuff in Texas? I almost never even see it in the Bay.
  9. And get charged for crossing all four quadrants, of course!
  10. Georgetown was the epicenter of nightlife during the Bush administration but has long since fallen out of favor as the city gentrified eastward. I was as much of a Glover Park douchebag as one could be back in the day but even I was eventually trying to bang hipster chicks in the basement of Saint Ex.
  11. I just checked and Lauriol Plaza is somehow still in business? Now that is a blast from the past.
  12. Prices are for sure sustainable but well-functioning communities? Yeah, with you there.
  13. I suppose I misread your post, but I was simply pointing out that VHCOL cities have generic suburbs too, and these burbs are increasingly the only hope for homeownership for families without generational wealth or a liquidity event. Consequently, many choose to move. Hence, the subject of this thread.
  14. Eh, not sure about that. Metropolitan areas include suburbs, and while the suburbs in these areas are more on the old small towns-engulfed-by-growth side of the spectrum, they are still for the most part very much suburbs. Since this has turned into a TX vs CA thread: we’ve always felt that if we couldn’t live in San Francisco proper we’d just move back to Texas or New Orleans. With a few exceptions, the S.F. and SJ metro areas are suburban strip mall sprawl, and often with weather nearly as bad as Texas. NIMBYism has driven homeownership away from the middle class and Prop 13 has starved municipalities of funds to support education and infrastructure. I can’t blame folks wanting to raise kids in decent suburbs with public schools for simply opting for an analogue in Circle C or Plano or wherever.
