San Jose and various places up the Peninsula.

Fun place when I was younger, but got too crowded for me. I do miss the diversity there, the many cultures, foods, etc.

You can't beat it for the energy and diversity, I agree. As far as crowding, things (in the City anyway) may have changed a bit since you lived here. Drugs and the plague did a fairly thorough job in some parts of town.

I'm in northeastern Illinois, about 50 miles NW of Chicago.

Here's a double rainbow arcing over the downtown of my sleepy little suburb. (No, I didn't take this, but I sure wish I did!)
