Yelp Your Way to a Fun Start to the Day
Thursday, July 29th, 2010
When traveling, we often use Yelp to find a fun local coffee shop with great reviews to get a flavor of the local vibe.
It is fun to explore a town and not stick to the typical Starbucks for coffee. While visiting Portland and Bend recently, we discovered two fun new cafes Bean and Tree in Portland (serves a delicious Lavender Latte) and Backporch Coffee Roasters in Bend (roast their own beans on-site and make a great Cappuccino).
We wouldn’t have found without the Yelp App on the Droid.
This got me thinking, why not use Yelp at home to discover fun new places closer to home? (more…)

I just couldn’t believe how easy….
Thursday, June 17th, 2010
It was so easy to get to San Francisco from San Bruno’s Merimont last week – twice!
I parked my car at the South San Francisco BART station (only a $1 for parking!) and took the train on Monday to the Embarcadero station and on Wednesday to the Powell Station.
Both times I checked the schedules online at BART. It was fast, easy and on time. (more…)

Discovering a New Local Find in San Bruno
Monday, April 5th, 2010
Tomorrow we’re hosting a broker event at our Merimont community in San Bruno. We wanted to share some tasty treats with our broker partners. It would be easy to pick up pastries at Starbucks, where we will be getting the coffee, but that just didn’t seem as fun as supporting the local bakery. I hopped on Yelp and discovered Pastisserie Ganache in San Bruno.

A Round of Applause for Rollingwood Elementary
Monday, March 8th, 2010
We are proud to announce that Merimont’s elementary school, Rollingwood in San Bruno, received a 37 point improvement on the Academic Performance Index (API) scale.
Here is Principal Mikulik’s response regarding this great score improvement:
“Rollingwood School staff prides ourselves on meeting the needs of ALL children we serve. We provide differentiated instruction in the classroom as well as small group instruction and intervention after school. We teach the whole child (academic, physical, and emotional) which translates into better performance in school. I am proud of our school and offer tours for interested families.”
Check out these photos from the Rollingwood Photo Gallery- these kids are having (dare I say) FUN at school!

Who do you trust? Headlines & Stories about real estate are a mixed bag
Wednesday, January 27th, 2010
We work in the Real Estate market and the headlines make even my head spin. Many of the stories can be spun in different directions and the trend seems to pull out the negative facts for a catchy title that gets clicks. The facts are often buried in the story. (more…)
