I thought I was being healthy: eating healthy foods, running, doing yoga and lifting weights-but I was still overweight and my running sessions were not as fun as the used to be..no runner's high like I used to have in my younger days. My parents, knowing how hard I was working at trying to be healthy, decided to give me sessions with a personal trainer for Christmas. This has been the GREATEST gift ever! Kelly, my trainer, is fabulous! Within two weeks, I could see results. I started losing weight, developed core strength and balance, increased muscle tone, and had more endurance during my running sessions. I look forward to my time with Kelly. She never has me do the same workout twice (I'm sure she lies awake at night dreaming up some of my workouts). She is absolutely one of the most positive and encourgaging people I have ever met. Her text messages between sessions keep me motivated. Kelly has helped me shed nearly 40 pounds and improve my running times by up to 40%. Yes, that's cutting my run time almost in half! NOW I get my runner's high!

Capital Flea Market is a fun, open-air market place with bargains galore! It has more private sellers (average folks selling their belongings) where as many of the large swap meets are now heavily populated by businesses offering discounted pricing because of the low overhead. There are businesses, but not to the exclusion of the private sellers.
And it is the private sellers that bring the most wonderful treasures! Come out to the Capital Flea Market and discover your next treasure!

The area of town was being rejunvenated in July 2008 (when we were there), so it was a little hard to find Joe's through the scaffolding. But, don't give up - it's worth the search! This place has been around for years and has a very interesting history of once being a hangout for the San Francisco mob - there's a room upstairs that was used for meetings!! Read the menu - it has stories about the restaurant - and take a look at all the pictures on the walls - very cool! It's famous for a hash dish (it's great!!) - plain and simple, enjoyed by all, even the mobsters! Elegant ambiance, tuxedo-ed staff, excellent service, and great food! A little pricey, but that's the cost of notoriety! Really a fun place to eat!

I LOVE this place. Half the restaurant is a bar, where people often stand, socialize, and drink. The other half are the dining tables. My friends and I enjoy the food so much we often scrap our dishes. The only thing is it's pretty pricey so I only come here on certain occasions. The service could be better, and it's kind of loud, but overall I still love it.

This is a bar I could get used to hanging out at 4-5 nights a week. Its that good! Wednesdays are karaoke night - and one of the LEAST pretentious venues I've ever been to. The crowd is friendly, drama-free neighborhood regulars 25-35 yrs old. Great drinks - Tina the bartender is the best & verrrry easy on the eyes! Yum!
Pros: karaoke on Wed nights, friendly staff, crowd of neighborhood regulars
Cons: gets really crowded where the bar ends and opens into the DJ room, late-night cow parade on the weekends can get nasty

I think the best food to be had anywhere for dinner in the world right now is in our very own Amber in San tana row.
I know that not every body like Indian food.
I recommend you buttery chicken and keshmiri lamb, these are the only food I tried, you are free to discover rest.
I bet it is not easy to find these rare combinations of spacious, romantic, neat atmosphere, good interior design, delicious food, friendly environment, great service, average price and great location
When you enter the ceiling catches your attention, you see falling star that gives feeling of being in mysterious, ancient environment.
It has many tables so is good for going as a group or have a romantic night.
Food are served in traditional dishes.

Pizza? Check! Arcade Games? Check! This is a much more active place for children than Chuck E. Cheese, though. It seems a lot bigger too. It has a Jumpy house and a toddler area, but it also has places to climb and mazes to maneuver. There is an admission price, unlike Chuck E Cheese. But adults are free! There are also deals to be had (Toddler Tuesday is $3.48 all day for Toddlers) - if I recall correctly, there are coin operated rides near the toddler area and my daughter spent hours on Toddler Tuesday on a Merry-Go-Round. The food menu is a bit more expansive than you might expect, which is not to say healthier. You can also throw birthday parties here.
