Old Oakland Hotel Gets new Life in the Fruitvale

Do you ever see an old building in contemporary surroundings and wonder..."Just what is the story with the building? And how did it come to be there?"

I stumbled upon this explanation of The old Fairlawn Hotel building in the Fruitvale that I have been driving by for several years. This is the exact story of neighborhood revitalization that we love!

Is It Hot Enough Ici? ... Elmwood's Ici Ice Creamery

What's Your Favorite Flavor?

In the Elmwood District of Berkeley is the most fabulous Ice Creamery, Ici.

Place made Ice Cream daily, with all the free tastes you want. Piles of lemons abundant in a large pedestal bowl, hint of the flavors to arrive from the kitchen.

Plus other nuggets of delicious sweets. You really must come down here and wait in line if you have not. It is sure to be your new summer destination.
