East Bay Yesterday“Climbing was all I had”: A history of bouldering in the Berkeley HillsIt would be easy to overlook the significance of Indian Rock and Mortar Rock, two relatively modest outcroppings located in the Berkeley Hills. Unlike the towering cliffs of Yosemite, which dominate the landscape, these boulders are partially obscured by the homes and trees that surround them. But for nearly a century, some of America’s most influential climbers have used these rocks as a training ground to test new techniques and technologies. The guidebook “Golden State Bouldering” calls these rocks “the heart and soul of Bay Area climbing.”

WoD (WorldOfDan podcast)Special: Berkeley police reimaginedWhile organizing files on my computer, I came across several segments, for whatever reason, I had failed to share.
Here's one where I read an article coming from a independent news rag called, Berkeleyside where they write about Berkeley's reimaging of their policing. And then I dig deeper and poke around the cities website and see what it's really about.
A bizarre, yet eye opening look at what our city governments are up to at our expense.

Some people are calling it a win for developers and the state’s effort to create more housing in California, but not everyone is celebrating. The decision was based on Senate Bill 35, which addresses the housing crisis with construction mandates for cities and counties. In this case, it ends a six-year battle to keep the Berkeley project from going forward. SB 35 went into effect in January of 2018 as one of a number of...2021-05-0805 min

The BayWhy Berkeley's Gourmet Ghetto is a Problem (For Some)North Berkeley’s “Gourmet Ghetto” is considered the birthplace of California cuisine. It’s where the original Peet’s Coffee is located, and the neighborhood is home to Alice Waters’ Chez Panisse. For years, the culinary nickname remained a part of the neighborhood’s identity, until a new coffee shop owner said he wanted it to change, pointing to its offensive, racial context. Now, the neighborhood business association has decided to remove the name from its branding, but residents still seem split on whether the name is problematic enough to change.
