End of Free Bay Area

Thank you for stopping by and checking out my blog. Although I love blogging and informing my readers of all the free things activities and events around the Bay Area, I have decided end Free Bay Area to concentrate on my final semester of school, my current internships and job hunt.

I am not the only blogger out there with the scope on how to have fun on a budget. Here are two web sites that have caught my eye:
