In the midst of some of the most crowded urban spaces, congested freeways and biggest cities in the nation, California also retains old-fashioned charm with celebrations that roll back the clock to simpler times. Fall harvest festivals, old days parades, and other events this week remind many of us that there’s no need for high-tech innovations to have fun.<\/p>\n
