Laurel, your article hit home with me, also. I often tell people how happy I am to live in RedwoodRead More City. Your post describes some of the reasons why very well. Our town is a real community. As you described so well, there is a wonderful ease of connecting with people here and a sense that we can all be who we are and be welcome here. That is very special. Also, I feel that the wide variety of Redwood City's activities (like the Salsa Festival, but also all the remarkable diversity of events that happen all the time in Courthouse Square, cool events at the libraries, the Farmer's Markets, etc.) make this a vibrant, fun place to live. There are always interesting things to do here, most of which are either free or are very affordable. I feel like RWC's elected and appointed officials and other employees who provide key services for the citizens here (teachers, police, firefighters, librarians, Parks and Recreation Dept. employees, utilities employees, etc.) really care about its residents. Not only are there constantly fun things to do that are free or affordable, there are also many classes and education opportunities to support our needs in so many ways (looking for a job, preparing for an earthquake, etc.). It feels like a well-run city. I have only lived here a few years, but I am quite happy here and am very glad to be a resident of Redwood City. Thanks for writing this article!

Great article Laurel. Nice to hear a young person so open to new activities and new people. HowRead More about trying the PortFest this Saturday at the Port of Redwood City? If you want a ride, take the free shuttle from the Caltrain station--and bring your high school friends! More details at www.rwcportfest.org.

Oh Laura..I so do enjoy all your posts but this one hit home. I too went to Sequoia and left homeRead More in my early 20's to begin my career. I lived in Manhattan and found it difficult to find the funds to fly home for visits for many years, but i would when I could, and when I moved to Los Angeles it was easier to get home for a visit but I never ever thought I'd live here again. In 1999 my parents passed and the old house sat vacant for a couple of years and then I had a brilliant idea....why not move home! I sold my house in LA and moved back to RWC in 2003 and I've NEVER BEEN HAPPIER! One day you too may wonder away - for your career or perhaps your husbands career, but just know...Redwood City is always here to welcome you back. Thomas Wolfe said "you can't go home again" - but you can!
