Wednesday Linda headed off to the SF Museum of Modern Art. I hopped on the a Telegraph Ave. bus to visit Mariposa Bakery which was recommended by a friend as the best gluten free bakery in the area. They have a pleasant shop and cafe in the Temescal neighborhood of Oakland.
Found fabulous GF bread - even a batarde style loaf. While there I stopped for a guilty pleasure tuna melt. Did not disappoint. Crunchy sourdough - Something I haven’t had been able to eat in several years.
After lunch I took the bus back to Berkeley to the Telegraph Ave. of my youth, though of course it wasn’t. There are a lot more chain stores, bubble tea shops and much (though not all) of the grunge is gone. Newer Amoeba Music keeps company with the old Rasputin Records
Reassuringly, Moe's Books remains. My family used to have a ritual visit pretty much every weekend to peruse the used books and music scores it’s smaller than it used to be, but has survived. Still "Four floors of books"
