We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
The high cost of living and skyrocketing real estate prices are a headache for many buyers, renters, and homeowners. So you can bet people will be up for commiserating.

How will you join in the conversation when talk inevitably turns to food? It's NorCal, and we take our tacos pretty seriously around here.

When you broadcast to your friends that you're going to Burning Man, are your friends clamoring to hook you up with rides, supplies, and tickets? If so, you're a well-liked person. Burning Man assistance doesn't go to just anyone.
Sure, the majority of the population in the Bay Area may be involved with some kind of tech. But we're also a low-key bunch here in NorCal, and our jobs don't get broadcasted on our chests.
We love our organic food around here, and that means supporting local farmers, sustainable farms, etc.
Some farmers markets may say "no dogs allowed," but many vendors will give Fido a snack anyway.
California doesn't give out plastic bags anymore, so bring your own paper bags or reusable bags. Come on, it's the least you can do for our environment.
NorCal is a unique and awesome place, and if you follow our unspoken rules, you’ll fit right in! We have tons of cool attractions here, too – check them out here.
