Cool steel green Drawbridge on Park Street connecting Alameda To Oakland. Very short (372 FT), but when the drawbridge raises up, it backs up traffic all around the area. The good thing is, it does go up and down reasonably quick, and everyone can be on their way. A major artery in the area, highly underrated.

The Park Street Bridge is an interesting place. People can walk, skate, or bike across come rain, sleet or snow. Buses are required to stop on the bridge for safety purposes so, I never drive behind them. The bridge will also open for the small vessels that need to cross. However, I find this a hinderence to where I need to be at a specific time. Can we possibly consider giving the tiny vessels a schedule to pass in the wee hours of the morning when traffic is minimal? That would help us all to be where we gotta be on time and in motion.

This is the Park Street Bridge.

I love this little house. Its beautiful but small. The owner who designed it did so to piss off…read morecity officials. Big houses are overrated. Big kitchens too. I usually split my time between two uncomfortably large homes - one an American Foursquare, the other a Victorian in the artist enclave of Jingletown. They are both large enough that I spend countless minutes every day wandering looking for where I left my coffee cup or Phillips head screwdriver. Modern American-style farm kitchens have the same design flaw of being needlessly large for no reason with function of being able to cook efficiently low on the priority list. Cabinets and counter space is on the perimeter and a big annoying table in the center that is a hindrance in every move you want to make. You dodge the table numerous times in order to do almost anything. I think I would love this little spite house. I imagine the interior to be cozy and intimate with thoughtful time appropriate details throughout. Tiny houses are all the rage these days - I think they had it right when they built this one.... plus I bet it wouldn't be so difficult to heat in the winter either.

At the turn of the 20th Century, the city of Alameda, CA took a large portion of Charles Froling's…read moreland to build a street. Froling had planned to build a house on this plot of land which he had inherited. To spite the city and an unsympathetic neighbor, he built his house 10 feet deep, 54 feet long and 20 feet high on the tiny strip of land left to him. This the name, The Spite House. This is a regular tourist stop to marvel at and a fun subject to photograph and talk about.

What the heck is "Bay Station?"…read more In the City of Alameda, we have unique places that mainly locals go to. Outsiders have no idea the significance of these places. Bay Station is the location of a historic street car station. In the old days, street cars traveled up and down the island. Today, these Neighborhood "Station" Districts are clusters of shops, restaurants and businesses. It's general location is Bay Street & Lincoln Ave. What's there today? (Oct 2022) - A.T. Weber - Royal Auto Repair - El Caballo - Sumiko Cafe - Island Savoy Market - Domino's Pizza - Forbidden Island - Sampaguita -.....and lots of other businesses Each "station" in Alameda has it's unique group of markets and shops.

What else can I say about this great little shopping area of Alameda... ONLY the locals go here…read more We have Pagano's Hardware Store (the original locale), El Caballo Wraps, Sumiko Cafe, the Golf Store, a Hawaiian Dancing Studio, Market Spot, Thompson's Garden, the car mechanic shop, a dry cleaner, Sampaguita, a Filipino Convenience Store, an Antiques Store, a Hair Salon, Domino's Pizza, and other establishments, and very walking/pedestrian friendly with the wide streets divided by a green "mall" area. It's good for the locals, and is just around the corner from the Mastick Senior Citizens Facility. Not only is Alameda (94501) the Best Place on Earth, it's even a little better at the Bay Station area on Lincoln Ave. (from St. Charles St. to Sherman St.). We, the locals, are great!
