By the year 1670, wooden chimneys and log houses of the Plymouth and Bay colonies were replaced by more sightly houses of two stories, which were frequently built with the second story jutting out a foot or two over the first, and sometimes with the attic story still further extending over the second story.
If there ever was an ‘America’s team,’ it would be itty-bitty, little Green Bay, stuck way up there somewhere, owned by the salt-of-the-Earth citizens themselves.
The Pirate Bay was never for making people not pay, it was for making people free to choose what to share and who they want to share it with.
I would trade places with Michael Bay when he was directing ‘Transformers’ because I’d get to meet Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox, and also see what it’s like to direct a huge action movie. That’d be awesome.
At Guantanamo Bay, we could create a West Berlin, a free small city within the Communist nation that could trade freely with the U.S. and elect its own officials.
I love Michael Bay movies. I don’t think I’d be selling out if I did one. I happen to like his movies. I think selling out is doing something you don’t believe in, and you’re doing it for a selfish purpose.
Pearl Harbor? Michael Bay doing a movie about the single most devastating, most holy day in United States military history? Why, that’s like the Three Stooges doing a Holocaust movie. Or Barney doing ‘Hamlet’.
For 30 years I wrote for newspapers and magazines, wrote books on the Dallas Cowboys’ dynasties of the ’70s and ’90s, wrote about Michael Jordan in Chicago and Barry Bonds in the Bay Area, even wrote columns for ESPN.com from 2004 to 2006.
Few cities have been more definitely impressed upon the imagination of the world than San Francisco, this gray-hilled city on the peninsula by the hospitable bay, where Saint Francis protects the ships as he protected the birds of Assisi.
I had never been out of the Bay Area before. It was very traumatic moving to New York.
I go back and think of President Kennedy, who had a military service background, but he comes into the presidency, and he’s faced with a decision on the Bay of Pigs, with the C.I.A. and the military giving him data, and it turns out very badly.
I really want to dive in the kelp forests of Monterey Bay in California. I hear it’s like floating through a forest.
I grew up twelve miles outside of Montego Bay. In my early teens, I went to Kingston. It was like a different planet for me. In the country, people are kind. In the city, people are hard an’ cold, like the concrete and steel.
It had not yet been named Silicon Valley, but you had the defense industry, you had Hewlett-Packard. But you also had the counter-culture, the Bay Area. That entire brew came together in Steve Jobs.
I am a Bay Area guy, no question.
It might sound odd, but I want to thank Michael Bay because he’s been saying how important it is to show 3D with the right luminescence. And that’s very important for this film, a lot of which was shot at night or with very low illumination.
I live in Brooklyn, New York, and hail from the ‘East Bay,’ Oakland, CA.
What’s weird is the Hot Boys and the whole New Orleans Cash Money thing had a really big impact on the Bay when that was popping off. I don’t all the way understand it. I mean, I know that they were big everywhere and had a lot of commercial success in the mid to late ’90s, but they were really, really felt in the Bay Area.
Nico Santos I’ve known from Bay Area stand-up, and he lives right by me so we hang out all the time.
There is no room for second place. There is only one place in my game and that is first place. I have finished second twice in my time at Green Bay and I never want to finish second again.
Whitley Bay was my first experience of the seaside. I’d buy my bucket and spade, and beach ball, and all the shops were teeming with toys. I used to spend hours on the shuggy boats.
I’ll be a Bay kid for the rest of my life. That’s in my veins; that’s in my bones.
I’m hoping to be recognized in Europe, because that would truly indicate that the Tampa Bay Rays have arrived on the continent.
I take vitamin C and zinc every day to keep colds at bay. I also take calcium tablets to supplement my lack of dairy, and d-mannose, a cranberry extract thought to be good for women’s health.
A lot of people from the Bay, especially musicians, feel like northern California is not the place where everything’s poppin’ off and not quite on the cutting edge artistically as New York or L.A. People from the Bay feel like they have something to prove, and I always love feeling like I have something to prove.
The Bay, they got their own sound, they don’t try to be like nobody. They smooth out there.
I did projects on Champlain coming up the St. Lawrence River and on Henry Hudson cast adrift in the bay that now bears his name. And I read dozens of historical novels: Rosemary Sutcliff on Roman Britain and G. A. Henty on British heroes, though my all-time favourite was Ronald Welch’s ‘Knight Crusader.’
Yoga is great for easing my back pain. It also helps me keep stress at bay, which is something I can suffer from.
Going back to coach in Green Bay was the biggest mistake I ever made in my life. I was approached by the organization, and it turned out to be an enormous mistake. I was extremely disappointed. I disappointed the Packers and their fans.
It troubled me that we had these reports of torture of detainees, we had people jailed at Guantanamo Bay who couldn’t even talk to their lawyers and couldn’t see the evidence against them – sort of fundamental bedrock civil liberties things.
The reason I first ran for the state legislature didn’t start in a courtroom or in a lobbying firm or anywhere near Richmond, to be honest. It started in a little town on the Eastern Shore where I grew up on my family’s farm and spent a lot of time fishing and working on the Chesapeake Bay.
For people who know both New York and the Bay Area, it is a complement to say that Oakland is San Francisco’s Brooklyn. It’s a complement both to Oakland and to Brooklyn. And, if you look at Brooklyn, Brooklyn is hot; Brooklyn is cool.
I felt like in Tampa Bay a lot of people thought we were overachieving.
I’m really into California art from the ’60s. I like a lot of Bay Area artists, like Nathan Oliveira and Bruce Conner.
Created specifically to house the world’s most dangerous terrorists, the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay is designed to keep both American personnel and the detainees safe and secure.
From the preemptive strike that destroyed Egypt’s air force during the Six-Day War, to the daring raid on Entebbe, to using all available means to slow the Iranian nuclear program, Israelis have combined strength with ingenuity to keep the country’s enemies at bay.
Every year, tens of millions of salmon return to the pristine shores of Bristol Bay in Alaska. They linger in the bay’s cool, shallow waters before charging up nearby streams to spawn and create another generation of wild salmon.
They were heading out to the middle of the bay – the Gulf – that’s another thing that became kind of standard practice, we didn’t hurry the destroyers around the beach any more, when it got dark, we’d take ’em out thirty or forty miles out in the middle of the Tonkin Gulf.
The Bay Area for me has provided the most stability and it’s definitely provided life-changing opportunities for myself, for my family, so I’m incredibly grateful for all that’s gone on these past five years.
Technically, my husband and I are residents of the Alpes-Maritimes, where we are tucked away on our olive farm overlooking the Bay of Cannes in a corner that is, as yet, rather undiscovered.
With the NDAA, his failure to close Guantanamo Bay and the ramping use of drones, President Obama looks suspiciously like President Bush, a man on a quest for American Empire.
I’m from the Bay Area, so I know a lot about granola.
Some of my best memories of growing up on Long Island include spending all day fishing for fluke on Great South Bay.
From Tiger’s Bay in Belfast to the MGM in Vegas… it’s been some ride so far. And the best is still to come.
So the reason that the Bay of Pigs failed was that the original promise made by Eisenhower was not kept by the subsequent Administration. It allowed hostile air to wipe out the approaching invasion force.
I’m fairly adventurous with my eating. I’ve tried kangaroo, and Moreton Bay bugs, which are a kind of lobster, are so good.
For some young people, their first experience ever hearing punk rock music was playing the Green Bay Packers on ‘Madden’.
Docs, in general, are made in the edit bay, archival docs even more so.
I grew up on the Eastern Shore with the Chesapeake Bay as my backyard – name a job out on the water, and I’ve probably had it.
I had no idea the Vikings were interested. I was actually expecting other teams because the Green Bay Packers and three or four other teams asked for film after the combine in Dallas, and the Vikings weren’t one of them.
For Bryan and me, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were our first baby. And your first baby is always special.
When people still see me, even though I have been in Green Bay and Oakland, they still talk about Michigan.
So here comes this black guy from the Bay Area talking about peace, feminism, challenging racism, challenging the priorities of the country, and talking about preserving the fragile nature of our ecological system. People looked at me as if I was a freak.
