You most likely have seen BART train cars that don’t exactly look like your normal train car. Many of them are bright, colorful, and advertise various companies from throughout the region. All meant to grab your attention as the train comes into the platform or when you see it rolling on by. These cars have train wraps.

Introduction
The title of this article is a bit of a stretch. Groundhogs of the Punxsutawney Phil variety are not found in California, as they generally live east of the Mississippi River. However, groundhogs are just large ground squirrels, and ground squirrels are found in California. The biggest ground squirrels in California are yellow-bellied marmots living in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

This weekend, there are GRAMMY® Award-winning artists a-plenty for your viewing pleasure along with good laugh-inducing offerings. The weather forecast calls for it to cool down, because believe it or not it is still winter, so the warm indoors may be the best place to be. Enjoy these virtual offerings and if you do hit the ongoing San Jose Flea Market or go out to grab comfort food, bundle up and mask up. We wish you a good weekend in whatever you do!

We’ve been around since 2015, and although we’d like to think we know every last nook and cranny of the Bay Area, we know that every day a new business is opening its doors, a restaurant is popping up or a festival is kicking off its inaugural year. And we want to hear about them!
