Mendocino. Artist colony or ineffective tourist trap?
About three hours north of SF on Route 101, West of the Sierra-Nevada mountain range, you come upon a quaint seaside town reminiscent of New England fishing villages. It's called Mendocino. Originally a bustling logging town, this tiny village is now home to artists, galleries and dilapidated, rundown wooden shacks. For every exquisite, painfully restored New England-style cutesy Bread-n-Breakfast, there's two condemned, termite-infested, lead paint peeling eyesores.
