They probably have alpha sprouts regularly, or hopefully - only in season. Not really. But it’s interesting that the free Emery-Go-Round bus has a route from the MacArthur BART station (as with all Emery-Go-Round routes) to Berkeley Bowl. There are also free shuttles to either UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland or Kaiser Oakland hospitals. ;-) You learn these sorts of things when you’re homeless… ;-) My mother used to have a sprouter so she could grow her own alfalfa sprouts any time of the year. We had them all the time. I’m sure commercial growers do the same thing, on a much larger scale of course. ;-) Edited January 25, 2018 by Former Member Link to comment

The city has a great system there, and it's paid for my the companies, not the citizens - so yay. 2 1 Link to comment

Phil works for the city, and has access to no cost bus passes, they also pay his fees for the ride share program but it's tax money here 3 Link to comment

Former Member Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 In Emeryville’s case, the town is physically very small and everyone has a huge incentive to minimize congestion. Emeryville exists separate from its two larger neighbors, Oakland and Berkeley, only because it allowed Cardrooms (gambling) in an era before Indian Casinos proliferated in the area. Emeryville aggressively courted businesses (including the first of the only two IKEA stores in the Bay Area) creating a density that the transportation infrastructure cannot otherwise support. In the case of the shuttles, hospitals want to encourage employees and visitors to use public transportation to reduce pollution and the need for even larger parking facilities. ;-) Link to comment
AC Benus Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 New chapter up tomorrow. What do we think Gordon and Kohl's yacht ride will be like? In fact, where are they going...? 3 1 1 Link to comment

In fact, where are they going...? They’ll hit a squall on the way there maybe... There’ll probably be a shout sometime of “I am your captain.!” Followed by “Aye, aye, Captain!” ....not sure who or the context😏 Can’t guess what it would be like, but it’s Gordon and Kohl... This is not going to be an uneventful trip... looking forward to it! 4 Link to comment

knotme Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 The casino is fantastic. I’ve never been, so thanks for working it into Mojo. I’ve changed my mind about the song by Nat King Cole and the Count Basie Orchestra (less Count Basie). It’s overproduced, vapid, too stylish, and in that gorgeous ballroom it’s perfect. 4 Link to comment
