Where is a place you've been and would really like to return to and spend more time?

On the job in the Bay Area this week. A number of the cities comprising the Greater Bay Area are surprisingly run-down:

You think they'll be open later so I can buy some shoes?





Potentially affordable Waterfront views?





Lots of RV living:




And if you look closely here's an actual streetwalker on the cross walk, an approach to prostitution which I figured the internet had phased out, but no:

This road is pretty icky also, but has the saving grace of some awesome ethnic restaurants ... Buford Highway ...

Yep. When I lived back there in Marietta, it was the best place to get actually GOOD Mexican food. 

I'm sure there were some places in the middle of Atlanta, but at least Buford Hwy was easier to get to from the 'burbs and find parking etc...

Not only Mex, but all manner of Asian as well.  The local Mex place a block from me is "OK", but not great.  I've heard of some really good ones maybe 3 miles away.

As for Asian, I don't have to walk far at all for it.

A new place is about to open that has some prospects of being good, it's not Tex-Mex of course.

We've had tacoes at home the last two nights that we both like a lot.  Easy to make.

Here in SoCal, we usually prefer Mexican food to Tex-Mex...

I've never been there so no help from me. My wife was there on business and said it was a nice place, but that was 20 years ago or more.

We stayed one night on the River Walk, thought it was interesting, but touristy, as one might expect.  Toured the Alamo, as I remember.

Both are delicious, but yeah, I've tried the California attempts at Tex-Mex and I wouldn't bother eating it, either.

River Walk is fun but obviously touristy, Alamo tour is interesting.
Lots of excellent Tex-Mex of course. :)

One of the best, um, "Mexicanish" meals I ever had was in LA, it was red snapper and something.
