DANCING IN THE STREETS

Posted in EVENTS, OAKLAND, ROCKRIDGE on October 14, 2011 by Julie Nachtwey, the Claremont Hills Real Estate Expert

Rockridge Street Fair

My husband Fred was helping me take down signs on our way home from my Sunday open house at 415 63rd Street www.415-63rd.com in Rockridge.  Suddenly we found ourselves in the middle of a party…

User-friendly Rockridge retail district had moved to the middle – middle of the street, that is. Independently-owned stores, restaurants and local groups hosted the entire neighborhood during a street fair Sunday, October 9.  We were instantly drawn into the festivities.

Delicious food and drinks were ours to sample as we walked along College Avenue, from Alcatraz all the way up to Manila Avenue. Our favorite highlights included young circus arts performers and the wellness area, where you could get a massage. We loved the music and festive atmosphere.

What’s in a blanket?

What’s in a blanket?  Warmth? Protection? Safety?  Love?  All of the above are woven into blankets by Hiroko Kurihara.  I was fortunate enough to meet Hiroko at a holiday trunk show several years ago.  The blanket cloak I purchased from her has been a favorite of mine ever since. http://www.hirokokurihara.com/
