Luckily, Contra Costa county is just up at El Cerrito, Richmond. They have a shopping area there that is better, anyway. Not much farther. No bridge.

From where I'm at (when I'm home. Currently going to college at UCR)...there are no bridges to take (San Jose). So, going to SF? Go up the peninsula, Oakland, go the other way.

But why would I go to SF or Oakland? Want fine dining or shopping? Just go to Santana Row! Plenty of great restuarants (granted, expensive, but the area is very nice!). Heck, I can walk across the street to Valley Fair if I wanted to (Cheesecake Factory!).
