Eureka!

Courthouse Market
Having been in Eureka for nearing 4 weeks, I've only learned a bit about this city. Everything closes around 9 or earlier, there is hidden (or blatant!) art around each corner, there are more antique/thrift/consignment stores in Humboldt county than there are people to buy the items from said stores, and if you are riding a bike; cars will act politely and not run you over.

I've got quite a bit of more exploring to do. Thus far I've mostly been setting up my work-in-progress apartment, though I have scouted out activities, events, locations and I've got my "Humboldt County Bucketlist" posted to my fridge.

If you are expecting a lot from me, cool! I'll do my grandest to surpass those expectations.
What you will most likely see here:

  • artsy fartsy activities
  • reviews of restaurants/businesses/local products
  • random "finds" I deem interesting enough to take a picture of
  • coverage of local festivals/activities
  • perhaps some rants/raves, never know
  • survival guides/how to guides

  1. You'd be surprised what actually does stay open later - but your right. Open at noon, closed by 9 and often closed several days of the week.
