    1. I often wonder if it's still there. I googled it and found other people's pics and references to having seen it in the 90s. I'm not even sure i could find it now...it was near my old office in West Berkeley though. I know I walked there from the office.

    1. I remember I was shooting black and white that day and I was so pleased to stumble on it. I think it looks better in B&W.

  5. Black and white creates a totally different ambience. Forever and ever....

    1. Now that I shoot digital I never think to edit the pics to make them black and white. I should...I miss film though.

  6. Interesting. I've seen a lot of Berkeley, but I'm guessing that sight no longer exists. Kinda ironic considering the message.

    Be well, JoJo.

    1. This was down closer to the RR tracks where the neighbourhood borders on that industrial area. I worked on Fifth between Delaware and Hearst in W. Berkeley. I suspect it's gone too.
