Joanne is a fourth-generation Northern Californian. She knows good sour dough bread when she tastes it and understands the best parts of the Golden State are nowhere near Los Angeles.
Northern California looked a lot different 100 years ago. There’s something about our history that interests us more the older we get.

My grandparents ran a diner in Northern California called “City Hall.” What I’d give to have a photo of their business from those days. What about you? How long has your family been in Northern California?
