“Ashkenaz is, most likely, among the most unique cultural dance halls in the entire Bay Area. From Folk, Country, Zydeco, Reggae and Baltic Folk Dancing to Blues, Jam Bands and singer-songwriter competitions, you really can't beat the range of experiences one could have there.This place is as good as it gets, and I'm so grateful to know about it and to have enjoyed it for quite a few years!”

“My son thrives at Berkeley Hills Nursery School and we could not be happier! The teachers and the director have 10 - 20+ years of experience. I trust them 100% as experts in their field to help nurture and develop my son.My son does well at this small school, with an intimate group of friends. Because of the low student to teacher ratio, the teachers are very familiar with my son as a unique individual.The director, Kathleen, is top-notch, easy to work with, and very involved with the kids. Kathleen makes our parent "tasks" easy: applying was free and simple, enrollment steps were clear, and daily communication is concise (made even easier through an app).I like that teachers lead activities for the whole group of kids. The play-based activities get my son moving and learning. For example, today the kiddos moved through an obstacle course that helped them with balance, and fine and gross motor skills. They also do art, yoga, and walks in the neighborhood.Lastly, we have a strong parent community, with adult and family social events. We are so happy to have found this gem in the hills!”

“Every once and a blue moon I'll come in here and be reminded of the power of good books and music. The excitement of finding exactly what I need to read and or listen to. This place is pure magic and I'm so grateful that it's here and we get to enjoy it time and time again. A reminder that great things can be found on the cheap. Books that can change our lives or at the very least, our thinking, are indeed accessible.”

“The management let me stored some of my clothes at the basement. The last time I have checked the box, I found that some of the clothes are missing plus there are one or two clothes that weren’t mine. I got sick after the exposure… I mean if you steal… that the last thing I should expect but please don’t play your dirty game. Not sure who did these but less likely the management and kitchen/volunteers.I wonder why the admin/manager lets someone rather than staff staying on the premise after and between open hour. Those are usually coming from one group and not diverse. That leads to the problem if someone has lost something, there is no other way to think who did rather than targeting to this group. If you let someone into the premise, then let everyone else in to, too, for the sake of everyone now will look after everyone else belonging.I tested Positive for covid after I open the box with the dirty underwear/ or unidentified object that the clothes thief may leave into my clothes box. Minding you I were find a moment before that I slept outside the coldness and woke up without any trouble. This is a murdering act because if I didn’t have vaccines and optimism mind, having covid is like a dead sentence. Now who could I sue? Why these people keeps killing my hope while I try to surviving?”

“My daughter just started at Crowden as a 7th grader. She is a complete beginner in violin but the music faculty has been very understanding and appreciative of her aptitude to learn. So far, we are having only positive experiences. She is learning music at her level, and following the academic program of her grade. Everyone at school is extremely understanding, adults and the kids.The small class size makes it for a better learning environment for my daughter because she is usually very distracted at school. While the school still follows the common core program, they also have art and French classes. Overall, the breakdown of classes reminded me of a more European school, with shorter periods, which helps kids to focus and pay attention in each class.My daughter also enjoys the school and really looks forward to having her first concert.”

“Having put up with 4 years of a college gym, it was nice to finally move on. At $40/month for young adults, you too can experience the magic of the Y. A free weights room, tons of cardio machines, weight racks, circuit machines, a pool, cycling room, courts, and more, you can really do it all. On top of that, they have a sauna & steamroom for a calming cool down after your workout. You have to bring your own lock to use their day lockers in the locker room, otherwise they also have some digital lockers available where you make a PIN code. They also have some weekends where you can bring a guest for free and a referral program. Happy to have a nice welcoming space to get some physical activity done”

“A sweet and cozy space for writers! Came here for a SCBWI-hosted Nanowrimo event to get some writing done, and it was so nice to have this space where other writers are working. You can come here to talk and get feedback and talk shop and industry, or just focus and be productive. There are also classes held here. So glad to see this creative writing space here.”
