Jack London Square
Neighborhoods
Oakland’s Jack London Square is named after the famous author who grew up on the waterfront. He did some writing at Heinold’s First and Last Chance Saloon … built of timber from an old ship. Heinolds is still there, next to a semi-log cabin (harkening back to my K+E Log Vector Duplex Cooper Union slide rule) built from half of his Yukon cabin logs. Canada has a duplicate cabin made from the rest of the logs.
I’m a train buff and always enjoy seeing Union Pacific and Amtrak trains running down the middle of 1st Street. The Jack London Square train station is where you can start your journey to Sacramento (a great railroad museum awaits you), San Jose, Seattle, or Los Angeles. Emeryville is the place to catch the California Zephyr to Reno and Chicago.
