Wow Chuckinca & Redwitch! My family moved when I was 16 to Danville, CA. That was 1968 when what was then called the "680 extension" was new and extended from Walnut Creek through to Dublin. Our house was at the base of Mount Diablo and the back yard backed up to grazing land of the Black Hawk Ranch which was still a very prosperous working ranch.

I learned about TV in 1998 when I got DishTV and the only premium channel I added to our programming was The Golf Channel. It intrigued me the very first time I saw the ad and I called for the portfolio which in those days included a VHS tape instead of a DVD. (I think I still have that tape somewhere. lol) I've wanted to move there ever since. We actually decided to move there while talking to a friend on Superbowl Sunday 2007. She had moved there in June 2006 and was having a marvelous time!!! We fell in love with TV when we visited her in March and are shooting for spring/early summer 2009 to become residents of TV. :hot:
