Berkeley – one of the most diverse cities in California. When one hears the expression ‘The Country of Berkeley” That is not a misnomer. It is perhaps the most wonderful city in the country. From the University of California, top rated in the nation to the streets of Telegraph where any mode of clothing goes to the wonderful array of crafts and arts for sale to the coffee shops, the Gap, to all the marvelous shops, I cannot think of anywhere in the world there is such differences and at the same time sameness.
Berkeley is a microcosm of the United States.
I feel so fortunate to live in this area and enjoy all the Arts, Entertainment, Theatres, and great restaurants from Chez Panisse to Barney’s hamburgers to Shin-Shin restaurant.
The Lawrence Hall of Science feeds our imagination, the Center for Independent Living increases our awareness toward others disabilities and achievements.; but has helped people enroll in the University and other colleges since 1961.
Organic Farmers market where delicious foods are available in the center of Berkeley three days a week you can shop in various locations for organic foods purchased directly from the farmers.
The Ecology center keeps you abreast of details to register your kudos or complaints on national and international items of your interest
Perhaps you would like to join one of the many community garden projects in Berkeley for you and your children.
Imagine living in an area that boasts one of the highest IQ's in the East Bay Area per capita.
Imagine living in an area that has walks through Tilden Park, quiet streams, and hidden picnicking areas.
I am speaking of Kensington, California: Berkeley ZIP code, Contra Costa County taxes.
This enclave is unincorporated, but has the finest Kensington Police, Kensington Fire Department and great informational services. The Kensington Hilltop School has a fine record for K - 6 grades and excellent teachers and after school programs.
Kensington also has the Youth Hut with many programs for pre-schoolers through seniors. Learn tennis, drop-in and exercise, or go to the fine Kensington Library. And be sure to join the Kensington Improvement Association.
The Arlington turnaround has every facility you could wish for: acupuncture, beauty shoppe, catering, dinner and lluncheon restaurants, florist, grocer, video store, optometrist, wine shoppe, ice cream parlor, hardware store, gasoline station with full services -- and the list goes on.
At Colusa Circle, Kensington brings Semireddi's bakery and sandwich shop, Kensington Pub, dinner restaurants, grocer, shoe shop, cobbler, cleaner, attorney, financial advisory, accountant, private nursery school, private school for grades 8 - 12 and much more.
I have lived in
Kensington for many years and love the quiet, the beautiful trees
and the wonderful
neighborhoods.
