16. California is an amazing state!

Mar 2016

High speed rail construction going on everywhere, new buildings in many of the cities (especially San Francisco), I think Sacramento is building the most technologically advanced arena in the country (they recently revamped their airport which is amazing), recently wrapped the new Bay Bridge and the Caldecott 4th bore, highway widening of HWY 99 and so, so many more HUGE projects!

California worked WITH the President and because of it they are building their way out of the remnants of the great recession. So nice to see his approval rating where it should be!

Great post and good morning my dear friend Cha!
