Northern California has been a gold digger's paradise since the original 49ers panned for the precious metal. The current "gold rush" is now found in Silicon Valley. The tech wizards who are generating fabulous wealth on the strength of their innovations are now people of interest to older women, or "cougars." The nexus of this lust for gold and what it can buy is, according to a silicon valley.com article, Menlo Park's Rosewood Hotel.
The establishment has a more wholesome daytime personality as a center for legitimate deal making. Fittingly, the wildlife doesn't enter the hotel's bar area and other public rooms until sundown. The hotel management denies it's turned its adult beverage areas into a cougar prowl zone.
The silicon valley.com story is fun to read, especially how a published spoof of the cougar zone's activities made patrons sweat a bit. It's also instructive to note the article's observations about the conspicuous wealth on display. I suppose this means the recession is over. Doesn't it?
