Quirky and Delightful As Ever      An enormous amount of restoration has been going on in downtown Berkeley, especially on the little streets running down from Shattuck. The Berkeley Rep, which I didn't get a picture of, looks great! There are other new theaters and galleries in the area, too.

A particularly striking angel picture on the wall (click for a bigger image)	Public art on Shattuck. I'd never noticed it before, though I see it's been there 4 years!
Had my wife's employer secretly opened a Berkeley office?	Cool sign, I thought. It's part of UC. They have their own jazz club.
