The place I live... You grow up in Eureka, and then you leave Eureka, and you never come back... That's how it is supposed to go. But I have realized this place where I grew up is rather amazing. Arts Alive is flourishing. People fill the streets. Musicians singing their souls out on the sidewalk. Art is various forms and definitions coloring the walls of all of the impromptu gallery spaces in Old Town. It is so awesome to see a place that once so hard hit, economically and otherwise, thriving and truly alive. It is easy to leave the place where you grew up and never look back... it is rewarding though, and perhaps more challenging to return, and to want to give your all to make it even better...
