They do great work on custom screens, and know where to send you amidst the maze of builders' supply houses in Riverside (most within a 4-5 block radius) for items they don't have.

Despite looking much smaller than the big box home supply stores, Bauman's has a fantastic selection, incl. some obscure stuff (e.g. parts for an old manual garage door, a plastic spigot, lots of drip irrigation parts) that aren't available @ the big box stores. Great, friendly, knowledgeable staff @ a longtime locally-owned business.

El Gran Taco Restaurant 2

I pulled in here with a friend after climbing at H18 around 10 PM, an hour after closing. A few staff were still inside cleaning up. Fortunately, the owner (?) had pulled in a second earlier, with her kids. She got out of her minivan and offered to take our order -- she said I looked so disappointed when I looked up and saw that the restaurant had closed an hour earlier. She went back to the kitchen, got everything out of the storage fridge, & made us two fantastic carnitas burritos. We were absolutely thrilled.

A really nice ballpark, but the management seems to think the fans are idiots who need noisemaking toys and a big sound and light show to get excited about a ballgame. It was all pretty lame and deafening -- it left me with my ears ringing three hours after the game. I would worry about taking a child here regularly -- you will probably cause him/her permanent hearing damage.
It's also pretty lame that there were open seats 4 rows in back of 1st base in the 3rd inning of a playoff game.
Fortunately the Angels lost their 11th straight playoff game to the Red Sox, so I could go home happy.

I arrived in Napa driving someone else's car....I wanted a newish car and really didn't want to deal with dealers...but Family Motors' listings on craigslist caught my interest. Suffice it to say, everything the prior reviewers had said is true -- Bob said about 45% of his business is repeat customers and I'm not surprised at all. I was very very pleasantly surprised.

Dino's Restaurant and Banquet Center
Category: Restaurants
It's at a Day's Inn, and I wasn't expecting much, but I had a decent pasta dinner at the bar & it didn't have the usual down-and-out motel restaurant vibe -- it was crowded, with a 40th bday party in the corner and lots of people drinking and having a good time -- this may reflect well on Dino's or poorly on the area but I was pleasantly surprised. And the ravioli, garlic marinara & italian sausage were all fine -- they are serious about the garlic -- fortunately I am driving alone.
It was clean, cheap, very conveniently located & looked as if everything had been upgraded or renovated recently. I was glad Cumberland Farms was two doors down when I wanted a microwaved burrito at 1 AM.

This review is based on the strength of the tuna salad. Not something I normally order at a restaurant, but after eating burgers and dogs and eggs and bacon all weekend, I wanted something a little lighter. This was fantastic - on greens with finely sliced carrot & red onion, served with white beans - no mayo or anything at all greasy in the tuna salad. In fact it was unlike, and better than, any tuna salad I can remember having. The fries were terrific as well, thin, dark, fresh from the fryer but almost dry to the touch. Service was a little slow but it was late afternoon & the quality of the food more than made up for it.
I've been here about a half dozen times under the prior ownership & never thought it worth writing about -- but recently I was there for the first time in warm weather, when the charming, cozy back porch was open. I wasn't there for dinner, but the salad I had was one of the best I've had in the area. The wine list looks bigger, too. I don't understand why they'd have so many W. coast Pinot Noirs & nothing from the Russian River Valley which is prob. the best PN region in the Americas (cf. http://www.winereviewo...) but that's pretty much par for the course for the capital region.... The stranger thing, though, was that they served our red wine in white wine glasses.
Why all the hate? this is a small airport with many advantages - quick check in & security, easy access to the BART via the shuttle bus, close to the freeway, great views of the East Bay hills when you fly in & out. I must have flown in or out two dozen times & have never had anything to complain about.

Bento today was perfect, with bits of fried octopus tossed into the fried rice (ok, I'm sure they were getting rid of ingredients but it was awfully good....). Good fresh fish & a comfy place to have a solo lunch @ the sushi bar.
