Stop, Drop and Roll

31 August 2007 | Alameda Community | John Knox White

The last weekday before kids head back to school. “ahhhhhh” say many parents, “booo” say many kids.

I’ve taken this final week of summer blogging off, but am returning next week as vigorous as ever.

Enjoy your long Labor Day weekend. Don’t forget the Alameda Ferry is running all weekend long with extedned service to get Alamedans to SF with the Bridge closed. And at the risk of sounding like a complete transit Geek, the line 63, which traverses the main island from the East End to the West End, takes you directly there. And your bus fare is free on the return trip. It runs every 1/2 hour. AND you can check its arrival times at the stop nearest you www.nextbus.com (make sure you select “63-Weekend”

Ferry Times are:

The ferry holiday schedule provides 14 round trips per day between Alameda, Oakland’s Jack London Square, the San Francisco Ferry Building and the San Francisco Pier 39/Fisherman’s Wharf area. In addition, there is service from the east bay to Angel Island State Park on all three days. The holiday schedule is:
