Cheap Thrills in Northern California
During a recession, the price of a movie ticket or dinner out can seem daunting. Fortunately, Northern California has no shortage of free or cheap events and activities -- if you know where to look. We talk with the editors of several websites devoted to digging up the best free concerts, happy hours, museum exhibitions, street fairs and other low-cost diversions. And as always, we get our listeners' recommendations.
