What a treat to watch the slideshow from the Cerrito Theater! Michael DeWitt capsulizes the history…Read More of the Cerrito, from its beginning in 1937 and its heyday, through its dark, forgotten days, to its glorious rebirth in 2006. Michael also treats us to hilarious stills from April's Classic, "Airplane!" plus scenes from coming attractions. Come to the Cerrito for the next Classic, "French Connection," on Thursday, May 9. Getting tickets in advance is strongly advised.

It is amazing what Justin has accomplished. If you look at all the graduate students around the…Read More country and world who have submitted their film work, how did Justin's film rise above the rest. There must be something special. This is a must see film from a former Gaucho.

This is one time I don't mind doing a bit of on-site reporting for you...Elevation 66 has some fine Yelp reviews and looks like mighty nice place to spend St. Paddy's eve.

The question is *why* you missed putting this lively *local* place into your El Cerrito article? Could it be....that....

This parade is well worth going to. Did you know Alameda's own Lincoln Middle School band has…Read More marched in this parade in the past and even won an award? The band was photographed and featured in SF Magazine marching in the parade. This was under the direction of now-retired band director "Mr. D.C." . It was an amazing experience being an adult chaperone of the band marching in this parade and hearing the roar of the huge crowd as the students marched past and seeing the beautiful costumes, floats and dragon dance. Go earlly to find a good viewing spot and enjoy the parade of your lifetime! It is an experience you won't forget.

Thanks for the beautiful photos. I particularly love our oaks.

Yes, Jane thank you for working so hard to preserve this El Cerrito tradition. Mr. Shadi (and his…Read More family) were friends, classmates and neighbors to so many of us. It is wonderful that this tradition can continue on our "tiny town" hillside. Thanks!

Should have had local artists design the doo-dads instead of Berkeleyans. Shop locally is what…Read More people say but not what they actually do. Maybe we could have picked them up at Costco and saved a few bucks.

in reference to Toni's comment above; i sure hope that is not going to be the overall result of all…Read More the hullabaloo and the huge taxpayer/city expense of this art project.....that no one really notices or appreciates them. Let's let alone the separate issue- what or how do these abstract sculptures contribute to the city identity?

I saw the one on the west side of the street as we drove down San Pablo this afternoon. Didn't have…Read More a chance to look closely.

I was not an easy student to deal with. I would often make last minute changes without his…Read More approval... He would tell me I was lucky it worked, but to never pull a stunt like that again. For all my mistakes I made in his presence, I thank him for treating me as a peer, and adult. My friendship with him bloomed after high school when I was a life guard at the pool. He was an avid swimmer. I truely appreciate all the rich conversations we had at the pool. High school would have been a real drag without the plays, theater class, the trips to Ashland, and of course Mr. Anderson. Let me say thank you now, because I doubt I ever did when I was in school.

Thank you to everyone who has kept the display going! My kids grew up with Mr. Shadi's display, and…Read More we also enjoyed his "persian rug" flower plantings in the spring and summer. He was a wonderful neighbor; and he lived an example we all still cherish.
I love the angel -- thanks, too, to Mark Canepa. The old angel was the one piece that did not fit with Mr. Shadi's glorious hand-crafted creations.
It comes as no surprise that Donna Houser is organizing volunteers. I believe that is her personal super-power.

Thanks for the nice coverage, Betty. I want to add some clarification to the Dec 27 date mentioned.…Read More Thursday, December 27 is the day the display will be taken down. The last night to see the display is Wednesday, December 26. Anyone wanting to help take the display down should show up at the site (Seaview and Moeser) at 9:00 a.m.

Just a heads up. Creston Books will be publishing its first list in 2013. Creston, which is Berkeley…Read More based, focuses on children and young adults. Editor Marissa Moss has gotten some outstanding submissions from authors across the country.

Well there's floodin' down in Texas
All of the telephone lines are down
And I've been tryin' to call my baby
Lord and I can't get a single sound"
Amen, Brother Stevie!
CCR and Led Zep most definitely! And "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head" gets a vote not because I thought the bicycle scene from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid was so romantic, but because I thought it would have been very cool riding on a bicycle with Katharine Ross.
