I will always have Berkeley

Driving into Berkeley always puts me into a nostalgic mood. You know you're in Berkeley the moment you get off the freeway. There's a uniqueness to the city that hits you right away--be it the Welcome to Berkeley  "nuclear-free zone" sign, the smell, or the counter-cultural scenes on Telegraph. There is just so much character and interesting history packed in this dense, urban city. I miss it so much. I miss walking the streets, running around Northside on those breezy Spring weekends, and eating at the plethora of affordable and delicious restaurants. And...I miss waking up to the music of the Companile bells, a daily reminder of my good fortune to live in this wonderful city.
