Bay Area Resources

Moving to a new city can be often times overwhelming, especially when it's one as sprawling as the Bay Area. It always helps to come in with at least a basic resource for such general necessities as transportation and local news in order to help you begin to settle in. Here we attempt to provide you with a few general, and possibly beneficial, sources to help you land on your feet, get to where you need to go and get what you need to begin your life in the Bay.
