Napa - The Cons:
If you even walked by an alcoholic sitting by the liquor store on the sidewalk and took a whiff of his odors . . .
A few weeks out of the year there is a horrific stench of old wine odor everywhere in the front and back of the house. The winneries polute the beautiful Napa river with sludge. You see dead fish sometimes when kayaking and it even affects the pristine Golf Courses ponds. It turns the beautiful blue waters into brown mud. My child let go some of his tadpoles a month ago only to return a few days later to check on them to see the pure brown colored sludge killing them to his horror.
There is still some racisism still in their restaurants and wine tasting events. The restaurants are basically overpriced especially the Oxbow Market. Even in the MaJong class the teacher allowed a student say racist remarks smiling the whole time.
The weather is incredibly hot especially if you are not use to it. Developing heat rashes yearly warranting physician care showed me how even the doctors are saying there are a lot of patients during the weather change.
