Favorite bean glow up:
Ethiopian ful
Go to Alam's cafe on Claremont, order the Ful, fall in love
get some berbere spice (cafe colucci)
get a can of fava beans for <$2
bolillos work great, baguettes too
realize all the other ingredients are in Mi Tierra
make it at home with free lemons

As far as I can see, there hasn't been a crash at Woolsey and Eton in 10 years at least.

If this was really about fire codes, wouldn't we also cancel the Solano Stroll? Solano has a 4 storey building.

I definitely wouldn't know. Berkeley has a similar problem on the Ohlone Greenway -- it looks like a sidewalk along Hearst

Surprise from the archives, in 1985, Berkeley had Commercial Property Rent control and eviction restrictions.

Super deep cut, but 15mph speed limit actually applies in Berkeley in locations with unsigned intersections and < 100 feet visibility, even without speed limit signs

Seems like one of those buildings that would be difficult to retrofit. Built in 1931, lots of glass and bricks.
Kind of surprised no one has put a plaque up for the left wing meetings that took place there.

The original 1926 Antioch bridge sounds nicer for peds and cyclists than the current one. It had a 15mph speed limit for heavy trucks, and the plans called for concrete walkways.

2930 Shattuck is a testament to Berkeley's addiction to parking and cars. It has 2 parking lanes, 3 driving lanes and zero bike lanes.
Make it 5 more blocks and Oakland loves you. At Shattuck and Alcatraz, the bike lane guides you through the intersection.

In meaningless ancient trivia, that sign at the back of the junkyard for the Star Car Agency appears to date from 1925, when you could buy a Star Car at 2210 San Pablo which is at the back of the lot and was then "Brooks Motor Company" Here are some ads from the Oakland Tribune 3/29/25
