There's some ring road freeway that circles the city and once people hopped on, the IKEA traffic was so bad that people were literally stuck for days. They had to sleep in their cars because traffic didn't move.<BR/><BR/>I think I'll wait until we meet again and have you make the pickled herring for me. :PWandering Chopstickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04703018765718062460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29502985.post-87908952505609836522008-11-13T19:41:00.000-08:002008-11-13T19:41:00.000-08:00I remember when that Emeryville store opened!

Palo Alto. <BR/><BR/>I have a recipe for the curried picked herring on my site. Be sure to eat it with the rye bread. They go very well together :-)dphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09255384036992381006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29502985.post-30389775629223168272008-11-13T17:54:00.000-08:002008-11-13T17:54:00.000-08:00Darlene,Every IKEA opening seems to be like that. ...Darlene,<BR/>Every IKEA opening seems to be like that. I remember when the Emeryville location opened in the Bay Area and traffic backed up the bridge. I wish there were other Scandinavian stores around, but IKEA's got a pretty good selection for some of the basics. Curried pickled herring. I have yet to try that!<BR/><BR/>Susanne,<BR/>Haha! ;)Wandering Chopstickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04703018765718062460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29502985.post-22193995868033968082008-11-13T14:34:00.000-08:002008-11-13T14:34:00.000-08:00No no no no no!!
