I've been to Byrd's multiple times. I keep supporting them in the hope that their success would enable them to open a second location closer to Menlo Park, possibly in Belle Haven in the Facebook Village.

My awareness of the realities of recycling has grown over the years and I would love it if our local recycling provider, Recology, would refine its collection process in a way that reflects those realities.

We have been "sold a bill of goods" by the petroleum industry (shocking, I know!) and need to be better about disposing single-use plastics. They are everywhere.
