It was 2006. Meda and I were visiting her sisters in the San Francisco Bay Area. And we were wandering in Redwood City which, at that time, had several thrift stores and collectibles shops worth visiting (most of which have since disappeared). There was an interesting auction house next door to this spot, as I recall. More recently, the area has been gentrifying. Perhaps Angelica’s was a clue this was on its way.

Awww what a sweet memory. I was born in Redwood City and grew up in the next town. It sure has changed over the years, from the town with the cheap housing to the town where most of the people in the country couldn’t even afford to rent in, let alone buy a house.
Lots of great restaurants though!
