Cindie at Albany Carpool
- Vicky at Albany Carpool
Our last morning marketing at the 19 Casual Carpool stops in the East Bay. We’re in Albany on a cold and windy, over-cast Autumn day. No official sign marks the Casual Carpool along Pierce Street (south of Central Ave), which parallels Highway 80. Cars and people line up facing one another at the beginning of the red curb marking near this empty news stand across from Pacific East Mall. Its a long walk from condos about two blocks away. The curbside is debris-strewn and unprotected from the unrelenting freeway noise and gushing wind. Double layers of jackets barely keep us warm from 7:20 to 9AM, then we’re off to IHOP for a hearty breakfast. #176 flyers.
