I often get homesick for California. I lived in Fairfax in Marin County for 10 years; Fairfax was the retirement home for California hippies.
The Jim Thorpe Earth Day festival is the closest thing I’ve found to life in Fairfax. Although I don’t get the scent of marijuana in Jim Thorpe, and they didn’t sell funnel cakes in Fairfax, the mellow atmosphere of tie-dye and laid-back ambience is similar.
Even better, we collected over 400 postcards opposing the PennEast pipeline to bring fracking gas from north-central Pennsylvania to New Jersey and then to overseas markets. It was a good day.
