    I can't stress enough how cool it is living close to Pleasanton...

    In a fifteen minute walk up and down Main Street after brunch I saw a "LOOK AT ME!" Yellow baby Lambo, a BMW Alpina (never seen or heard of that) and this beaut:

    Also saw several "finned" old Chevrolets and even saw Truckzilla (my damned neighbor) trying to find a place to park amongst all the Mercedes, BMWs and Lexuses.

    Eh, didn't want to be too touristy.

    Oh and a blue/white stripe Viper. But it was headed the other direction and I was too busy drooling... :)

    Yeah I know. Pleasanton still has or at least had the highest per capita income in the US. Explains the Carrera RS, the numerous RR phantoms, and Maseratis I've seen just tooling around town. Going to Safeway, McD's and Best Buy like its no big deal.

    haha that was the BEST Golf Course other than Pebble Beach in the entire state.

    We used to have to pull Guard when there were high profile Tournements.


    And that was Black "Horse", not Black Hawk. lol

    Real Estate listings for Black Hawk City.

    I see they renamed the Golf Course to BayonetBlackHorse? Guess they did that after Fort Ord closed down?

    Wow, $4M for a really weird house with a view. But that fixer upper for $1M looks like a steal :grin:

    The two courses are are still separate as far as I know (same club house as always). Black Horse AND Bayonet. Bayonet is the longer, more classic course and Black Horse is shorter and a bit more tricked out.
