Arts & Entertainment

Carol and I enjoy afternoons at a museum, a stroll through a gallery, a movie at a restored theater

We’re members of the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco, The Museum Modern Art, and the Berkeley Art Museum

For kids of all ages there’s The Exploratorium, the Bay Model in Sausalito, to the USS Hornet (an aircraft carrier reputed to be haunted).

We’ve a great selection of movie theaters – Shattuck Cinemas are particularly comfortable and we always enjoy going to the grand Grand Lake near Lake Merritt, Art Deco gems such as United Artists, California 3, Cerrito in El Cerrito (they bring food and beer to your seat!), Alameda in .. Alameda, and the amazing, astonishing off-the-charts wonderful Paramount Theatre in Oakland.
