OK, topic today is dog parks. I miss the Marina! Closest thing we have to wide open, natural space is the Kern River bed. But there's no water in the river :(

Bakersfield places that have a Berkeley feel: Dagny's, Moo Creamery, Valentien Restaurant and Wine Bar , the farmers' market, Oleander, Lassen's, parts of downtown - especially where the train gangs (runaways) hang out with their dogs, dreds and backpacks.

When I miss Berkeley Bowl, I go to Trader Joe's. Love those little carts!
