i know i'm sounding like a broken record here, but urban ore is definitely a place that if you're ever in the bay area, you need to check it out.

i go at least 3-4 times a year for "something", with "something" being things like:

- a new bin for my inside recycling - an old street sign to use to plug the old sunroof on my 24 hours of lemons car - a door to use as a workbench - just to gawk at the massive selection of antique electronics

now i need to go check out the new museum! XD
