Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ – Petaluma California: Experiencing the charm of an old city
Petaluma is a place where dramatic coasts, redwoods, and wineries all come together. As one of the oldest cities in California, this city in the Sonoma County has a charm and is a perfect place for a getaway. This city with 13.9 square miles is home to proud 54,548 residents. The name Petaluma came from the name of the Coast Mwok village located at the east of the Petaluma River.
Petaluma once became known for its chicken processing and grain milling thus they were called the Egg Capital of the World. However, this did not continue and its nickname was replaced and became Telecom Valley. From the change in the nickname, it is evident that the industries that are now dominating the city are the telecom companies. In fact, recently, the city has been noted again because of the creation of Twit.tv that took place in one of the cottages in this city. Despite this, there are still a number of farms that produce dairy products, vegetables, berries and olive groves. The city makes sure that they maintain and protect their agriculture The city has also become popular as shooting sites for various movies because of the existence of historic iron-front building, Eastlake houses and old Victorian, Queen Anne homes that gives off a different atmosphere; thus the progress of its commercial district.
Apart from the old houses and chicken processing, being in the Wine County, Petaluma is a perfect place to explore wineries. Having about a hundred of them, one can expect a different and unique experience when exploring these places. Also, parts of the attractions in this city are the art and antique galleries and the art centers. There are even festivals and shows displaying the local artworks. The recreational activities are also a must-try. From the typical hiking, bicycling, fishing and sports like golf and tennis, the tourists and residents can enjoy equestrian outings, auto racing and even aerial adventure. One may also enjoy boating that is surely out of the ordinary since it is included in the Top Ten Bay Area Leisure Boating Destinations in the country. In addition to this, one can expect a different shopping experience. From the typical shops in large-scale malls, one can enjoy strolling down the street packed with antique shops, book shops and specialty stores.
Thus, one cannot say that this is just another city in the Wine County as it proves to be much more than that.

Tree Cavity Care or “What’s that hole in my tree trunk?”
A tree cavity is a hole in a trunk or branch of a tree. A cavity is caused by damage to the bark or woody tissue of the tree. The wound can result from a pruning cut, mechanical injury caused by machinery, storm damage, dead limbs that decay into the trunk, or any injury that damages the tree. When a tree loses the bark it opens up the tree to infection or decay similar to a wound to our skin or damage to the enamel on our teeth.
