The ladies at the Gaslight Emporium... at Halloween their store rocked! And they had this kick ass candy shop next door. I really love the peeps at Alameda Marketplace - they alway jive with my kid. And Rouin at the Beanery - he always has carafes of coffee for us. Nick - who used to own Baci's Deli, and now works at the Feel Good Bakery. Yum - their seeded cheese breadsticks are divine!

Ooh, yes, my daughter was in Miss Adele's class for 2 years, and loved it. I also remember Kevin, who I think moved on to another job. The kids loved him, but he had this wonderful sarcasm that was aimed at the adults. It went over the kids' heads, but was never mean or at their expense.

Since we are growing our list...I'm really appreciating the folks who are active in the Alameda Chamber of Commerce. The mixer events have a very friendly, supportive community. Even a person involved in a small start-up business is made to feel welcome and assisted.

Agreed on TJs, I've never been checked out by anyone surly, even normal "long day not so cheery" surly. There is a light-skinned black lady there with a somewhat high-pitched voice who is REALLY GREAT with kids, and always seems just thrilled to be alive.

I love the guy who walks his two kids to school down Walnut in the mornings with puppy along for the ride. They walk to school at the same time we are leaving for work. We saw one of the first times they took the fluffy wiggly puppy with them and have watched it grow up. The dog is always prancy and happy and pulling at the leash and tugging on the kids' backpacks. It always makes us happy.

I agree about Kate Pryor of Tucker's Ice Cream being one of the best parts of Alameda culture. Scott of Scott's Shoe's is also a big part of this environment for me. I buy LOTS of shoe's there and always love them...I consider high-quality shoe's to be part of my health-care budget. The whole staff at Trader Joe's is consistantly bright and cheery, but especially this one great women with a little Dorothy Hamill style haircut. I don't know her name but she is a huge charmer and part of the high morale there. VIVA Alameda!

Aida Merriweather, the children's librarian who has recommended some of the best books my daughter and I have read in the last 7 years! Al, the host at Jim's Coffee Shop, who starts writing down my name and "Party of 3" when I walk in the door, and who has actually come and found us in Goodwill when we knew the wait was going to be long! I cannot remember her name, but there's an incredibly sweet clerk who works at the Long's on Santa Clara -- youngish, short dark bob, always smiling. I run into her on the bus sometimes.
