Berryman Station Area & East, North Berkeley Tour, with Jazz Concert & Lunch
Details
If you are taking BART to downtown Berkeley, the walk out Shattuck Ave. then over to Yolo Ave. is 1.3 mi. A flat walk, but leave at the very least a half hour for it.
The bonus comes on the return trip where you have a much shorter walk back then those like myself who drove.
* Please see the No-show policy at the bottom.
There are options to choose from after the walking tour which is essentially a diagonal walk onto the Campus of just over two miles up the hill.
After the tour part a concert and lunch. The concert featuring an all-star UC Jazz Ensemble, directed by Ted Moore, and the Berkeley Nu Jazz Collective, directed by Myra Melford
The concert is 45 minutes and will end at 1:00pm.
(Option#2) The salad bar at the Faculty Club next door to the Music Dept. is very good and there are many other choices. (If you don't choose the options I'll give you directions for returning.)
Berryman Station was originally between Rose and Vine Sts. After the RR extended its line from Downtown in 1878, the nearby blocks developed into a commercial and residential district. The eight blocks located between Rose and Cedar from Arch to Shattuck were subdivided in 1873 and sold for $300 to $400 each for a 60' by 134' lot.
Our architectural heritage walk will focus on the heritage architecture as we make our way up to the Campus.
(This is part of walks #33, #34, and "Around Live Oak Park, roughly, from the Berkeley Architectural Heritage Assoc. (BAHA) guide, "41 Berkeley Walking Tours".
Not our typical tour though we'll keep breezing along.)
Distance will be about four miles round trip up the hill.

*There is limited attendance for this event. Don't RSVP unless you are sure you can make it, if you No-show you'll be needlessly taking someone's spot who is on the Waitlist.
(Don't be a no-show.) It's good to give out name tags. I fill out the name 24 hrs. before the meeting time. This also gives me a way to take attendance. Name tags that are not picked up, are recorded as no-shows. If you get too many no-shows recorded in your personal Meet-up profile you'll be cancelled from this Meetup.
(To cancel your RSVP [must be at least 24hrs in advance or it is a no-show] look for the, "Edit Attendance" tab at the bottom right hand corner of a notebook screen screen, left bottom for a phone.)
