You mention shows at the Paramount but you don’t mention the Paramount Classic Movie series, which is now back on. It’s the best $5 Friday night experience you can get, complete with organ concert, Dec-O-Win, and a cartoon and newsreel, plus seeing the great movies on the big screen. Even if they’ve raised the price, it’s a great deal.

Omg you never walked around Lake Merritt!? When I was going to Laney I always find myself walking around or half way walking around the lake.

It’s really good exercise, especially after a yoga class. Laney have really good exercise classes and they are affordable.
