the many wonders of San Pablo Ave, vol.1

San Pablo Avenue is weird. If you are a resident of Oakland, Emeryville, Berkeley, Albany, El Cerrito, Richmond, San Pablo (City), Pinole, Hercules, Rodeo or Crockett, you may already know that. Originally part of historic route 123, San Pablo Ave. offers a wide variety of activities from gambling and prostitution to shopping for artisan cheeses.

I made a stop the other day to my favorite discount fabric store in Berkeley, aptly named Discount Fabrics. This place definitely goes into the “awesome” category of San Pablo strange. There’s just something about the light here.

More to come.
