Bay Area = Northern California USA, the cities that surround the bay like San Francisco/Oakland.
I grew up in the Bay Area, and have lived in Northern California most my life. In my current job I deal with people all over the United States, primarily by emails/instant messaging. We will talk about various projects and I just use the phrase Bay Area when it comes to projects in those areas. I guess I feel a bit pretentious because I assume they know the area I am talking about, but in reality I have know idea if they do.
Like I am sure there are spots on the East Coast that have names associated with them and I would be clueless to where they are, like Martha's Vineyard, what is that Maine area?
Even in Southern California when people say Orange County I kind of think I know where it is, south of Los Angeles? And the Grape Vine? wheres that?
