We are returning to the urban location in San Pablo.  For the next month we will be trying to do as many of these locations as possible. A number of the people in the group are in a show in February that focuses on immigrant neighborhoods in San Pablo and Richmond.  So please join us if you can. It is a lot of fun and we have been meeting interesting and encouraging people along the way.

We return to the parking lot of Food Mart (1835 Rumrill Blvd), at the corner of Rumrill and Market. There is a salvage business full of wonderful junk (This and That), colorful markets and businesses, and an industrial feel to the area many will appreciate. Last Saturday was a great session. There were respectful onlookers who even offered to buy us food and drinks!

Directions: From 80, take the El Portal in the west direction (don't go to El Sobrante). Go under the freeway and into the city of San Pablo. Continue along the El Portal. Drive all the way past Contra Costa College to your left. Make a right on San Pablo Ave, and almost immediately, at the very next intersection, make a left on Rumrill. Pass Broadway, 19th and 20th Streets, Brookside Dr, Folsom, Dover and Mission Aves. Immediately after Mission, look to the right side of the road to find the Food Mart. Park anywhere inside their parking lot. Meet us near the taco truck if it is there (it usually is). Bathrooms and water at the Food Mart.
