About this Event

This tour route winds through a quiet bungalow neighborhood and the commercial corridors of Alameda, architecture/design insights and historical backstories included. From the grandeur of the Alameda Theater neon blade sign to the nearly invisible Pop Inn, downtown Alameda boasts a fine collection of vintage signs. This hour and 15-minute tour is hosted by Al Barna and Randall Ann Homan with local historian Devi. L. Dahl.

Wear comfortable shoes and dress in layers for cool/cold weather. Be prepared to walk 1.5 miles with rest stops. Street parking and city parking lots are near the start and end of the tour.
