If you don’t already know about the wonderful local website http://montclairoak.com, please check it out. The dedicated blogger, Debbie Richman, is a former reporter and has a keen eye and brisk delivery about all things happening in Montclair and the hills of Oakland.
Debbie discusses the casual carpool phenomenon in the article, “Why Casual Commuting Works’. You can find it under Recent Posts in Today in Montclair, 94611.
Debbie believes in a ‘sense of place’, and thinks I’ve captured an amusing slice of our East Bay community in my book. Thanks so much, Debbie!

Park Blvd & Hollywood
With steady acceleration, coasting Westward along the Park Blvd downhill grade, cars briskly approach the lengthening line of potential riders at the newstand in front of this typical home in the area. Site of the story ‘Misque’, this location presents pedestrians with a challenge walking across the wide boulevard. There is ample street parking, and an up-hill aerobic walk. Nice to meet a former co-worker, but thrilled that I took an early retirement! Just two hours ‘work’ from 7:30AM to 9:30AM; we handed out 255 flyers, then down Park to Montclair Village for breakfast at the Egg Shop, near Great Good Place for Books.
