I saw a wall space that was nicely framed and at the end of a public hallway. It seemed like a great place for a bulletin board. If I build one and put it there, I think community might be strengthened.

In hard times, humans have persevered. Plumbob is a part of the wave of sustainability moving all over the world right now. Plumbob is taking aim at the inefficiencies of how we build our living, working, and learning structures by re-discovering passive solar principles and re-aligning community to live by the Sun as an energy foundation. Our society is hanging on the question; "What will we leave the next generation?"

Anno Domini is San Jose is an art gathering space. We first visited a few years ago when we learned about 'first friday' downtown where all the art galleries open their doors till late and serve wine and beer, etc. AD is very different from any gallery I've ever been to, and now our favorite. It is a large warehouse type work space during the day and once a year around the holidays, artists put their work up on the walls for a 'cash and carry'. It treads that fine line between snobby and too edgy to enjoy yourself. And the owners are always around and very friendly and approachable. I love to spend money on local goods! especially creative originals!
