What will Petaluma be like in 20 years?
On Saturday, a five-hour long open house at the fairgrounds will attempt to answer that question. But ears will also be open.
What Petalumans like about the vision, what they hate about it, and how it could and should be altered....
Those are the main reasons behind what's officially being called PlanFest.
It's an event to spread the word about four-years of work that's already gone into building Petaluma's 2045 general plan---and making alterations that build more support across the community.
A general plan is a blueprint to guide future growth---kind of a wish list of where new housing, businesses, entertainment and recreational facilities should go,
That's along with a goal of preserving Petaluma's culture and quality of life.
With a commitment to sustainability and two yet-to-appear transit-oriented residential districts to coalesce, there should be plenty to talk about.
Planfest isn't just for urbanists, YIMBYs, NIMBYs and preservationists. There will also be goats and sheep, at least until 10 in the morning, art-play activities, prizes and free tacos.
Planfest runs from 9 am until 2 pm Saturday at the Petaluma fairgrounds.

It appears that a struggling chain may have recieved a desperately needed lifeline. The restaurant industry has been in a tailspin since covid, especially in the casual dining and bars segment. Many major chains have been heavily discounting food and drink in order to bring people in. Recently TGI Fridays has $5 Happy Hours and appears to be doubling down on the bar scene again. Some of the chains also have gone above and beyond lowering margins and in some cases quality to keep the lights on. With this latest move, it seems that the single bar scene may have new life, we learned one of the world’s largest casual dining companies that proudly serves guests with over 850 restaurants in more than 55 countries was about to be taken over.

Many people have lost faith in the news and question truth from all comers. The idea of a universal truth, outside of the sky being blue and that one plus one equals two, seems to be more and more elusive. One thing that everyone can agree on, however, is that cats are the world's greatest pets. Dogs are fine, sure, but they aren't cats. Fish are kind of fun to look at...for like five minutes. Cats though? No fact check needed. They're the best.
