Bay bridging. The San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge links the two main sections of the Bay Area: The East Bay and the Peninsula. From Berkeley, one can see the Bay Bridge come alive at night. The bridge also serves as the gateway to the city for people living in Berkeley. Photo by Kim Steinbacher With the wharf, shops, restaurants, the possiblities are endless in the City by the bay It ' s 50 cold here. In LA., this would be, like, w er. What is ' The City ' ? San Francisco? Don ' t be so vague. Living in the Bay Area is a new experience for some who have come to Berkeley, but for others, hanging out at the Haight, taking in a 49er.s game at Candlestick Park, or frequenting coffee shops at 3 a.m. is routine. If they brave the fog, Berkeley students may find a variety of activities and entertainment any day of the week. • Leafing through such local papers as the Bay Guardian, S.F. Weekly, or the dependable San Francisco Chronicle, students can find concerts and nightclubs to fit any taste. Students checked out everything from the Rolling Stones to the Counting Crows at the Bay Area ' s many amphitheaters. The Edge, the DNA lounge, and the Sound Facton- offer alternative and house music for those over 21, while the Palladium and Club X offer exciting alternatives to f rat parties for the 18 and overset. • When the disoriented, alchohol-hazed state of euphoria has lost it ' s zip, students feed their mtellectual side by attending some of San Francisco ' s fine museums and cultural centers. The San Francisco Symphony, The Academy of Sciences, and the Art Institute satisfy the most highbrow student. Other fringe benefits of living in the Bay Area are the safe and convenient BART .system, the lovely weather, and the diversity that such a large city offers. The endless variety and exciting events draw even the most die-hard phvsics majors out of their room. • Copy by Heather Bradle] ' living in (he bay area 13
