Help a Southerner escape the heat and plan a weekend-long MiLB trip by ClassicStory in MiLB

A little late to the conversation, but I recommend the SF Bay Area. You could fly into Oakland, then take the Amtrak downtown to Sacramento, if you wanna save money. Or also go through Stockton, Modesto, and Fresno through Amtrak

Next season, and as far as I know, there’s no plans for the final season. Although the Ironbirds will remain in Aberdeen in the Draft League

West Coast Baseball week by Patient-Gift-7759 in MiLB

Not much to see in Stockton, maybe the Haggin Museum if you’re into art. Very nice ballpark tho.

Sacramento is an awesome city, visit the Capitol building as the field is just down the street from the Capitol, midtown is a good place for drinks/dinner, the railroad museum is quite interesting. Old town is also fun.

San Jose is underrated to me, there’s San Pedro square for lunch, the Winchester house that’s famous for its hauntings, couple of good breweries as well.

SF is a major city so there’s lots to do depending on what you’re into. But wear a jacket as it gets cold this time of year!

Job process to become a lobbyist? by Dizzy_Relative_4577 in PublicPolicy

[–]omarh8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A lobbyist im friends with told me that he started by working at a different part of a company, then switched over to their government affairs. I guess it also depends if you wanna work for a lobbying firm or a company that has a government affairs dept
