From Junk to Treasure


A really fun place to visit after your lunch at Burma Super Star is The East Bay Creative Reuse Center at 46th and Telegraph. This 4,500 sq. ft. space-formally the old East Bay Depot is crammed full of gently worn goods ranging from picture frames, furniture, flower containers, jewelry, kids' stuff, records, art supplies, stationary and on and on and on.

My favorite purchase was a first place blue ribbon which says "GoGater". I am giving this as a present to my friend, Marlene, for just surviving another year in real estate!

Rotary Peace Grove at Tilden Park

Image
High atop the hills of Tilden Park sits a serene sanctuary known as the Rotary Peace Grove. This section of the park was donated to Berkeley Rotary in 1955 when they began planting redwood trees. Each year, a different tree is dedicated to a leader in world peace and bronze plaques are displayed with the honorees' names at the base of each tree. The members of the Rotary club prune and  clean up regularly to help preserve the magic and the beauty. The hike to the grove makes a wonderful outing for the entire family.
