This means amusement parks and local , state , and federal parks. Even neighborhoods like Glen Park for a summer time hike around the canyon. Then you got East bay regional parks for more nature. Then hundreds of thousands of party people flocked to the Golden Gate Park last weekend for OSL ( Outside Side Land). What if I told you there is a park where there have fun things and it's open more than five days of week. It's located on Durant street in Berkeley and it's called Fun Park. On a Summer stroll on Telegraph on a sunny day and unto Durant street I landed at Fun Park. Inside there are lots items such as Pokémon characters and Kawaii goods. You will also see Sonny Angel blind boxes. You will see lots of Hello Kitty and Sanrio characters. They have claw machines .You can find my favorite Avocado & Sweet Mustard Lay chips. Overall a fun spot to spot characters all over inside Fun Park. Come to Fun Park Winter , Spring, Summer, or "Fall"and go on shopping "haul" on your favorite toys and "doll" and you don't need to go to the "shopping mall" Some of these items are "selectable" and some are "collectible"some are dolls which are animals and "vegetable" and go on a Summer stroll with Don Juan who is nothing "correctable"

As I was walking near Campus and around Telegraph Avenue, it's interesting how many store front…read morechanges there have been over the 25+ years that my eyes have seen. Larry Blake's just closed and the old Cody's still makes that end of the street fairly lonely and even a bit creepy at night. And yet, Bancroft Clothing is still here, albeit as Store #15 in the Mccaulou's Department Store Chain. In past years, this store has been named as the "Best place to purchase Cal gear" per the Daily Californian Newspaper. And sure enough, when my sports-minded brother or my Dad comes to town, this is where they immediately go to buy a little Blue and Gold. They love the selection and the prices and I do too. The store itself is full and somewhat complex to navigate. While I'm here, I sometimes pick up a Clinque product for Mom or Gayle, and maybe look at the shoes upstairs. And for that, you might also want to stop in at the nearby Bill's Footwear on Telegraph, another South Side Survivor.

I found a book I was first introduced to via social media and when I had recognized it on their shelf, I knew it was meant to find me.

The entire store was also 25% off as per their end-of-year sale. They have a fantastic selection of cards, gifts, homewares, jewelry, accessories, and select clothing items. It's the perfect place to treat yourself or others. They're doing a great job limiting people in their store and have hand sanitizer available.

When I'm looking for a greeting card, gift or needing to stock up on utensils/tools for the house and kitchen, I will come back to Palm + Perkins. Just a thoughtful, gem of a store in the neighborhood.

Really cool mix of edgy, organic, and stunning quality across the board. My partner and I have gotten permanent jewelry from them three times. One year & two years later our bracelets have held up so well, no breaks. Sienna, who does their permanent jewelry, is lovely and super attentive to detail. When we went in for our newest bracelets, they kindly cleaned our other ones, as the stones had gotten a little grubby in the past year. They have a wide ranging selection of chain styles and tons of beautiful charms to add on. We were also able to request a particular stone/setting in advance. All of the sales staff are friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable! We have shopped at their original Oakland location during busy hours when they have gracefully been juggling multiple customers and still made the point to check in with us. Their Berkeley space is super open with lots of room for browsing. We tried on a number of rings and they were so helpful in explaining different settings, stone cuts, etc. I wilk be shopping here for years to come!
