I was so charmed by 415 Bridgeway Pay Phone Project, I did some research. According to Larry Clinton, Sausalito Historical Society (Thank you Larry!), "When Alfredo and Tera Ancona opened their second Sausalito restaurant, Cibo, at 1201 Bridgeway, they noticed a decommissioned phone booth out front by the sidewalk. Tera decided to repurpose the old payphone to "present our great community in a unique way."  Her dream was to offer a quarterly audio magazine with short talks by or about Sausalito locals, which people could hear over the phone. For help, she turned to friends Philip and Tonya Wood at San Francisco-based Sound Made Public, a creative agency focusing on audio experiences, large and small, that change the way we hear the world.  They arranged to have a receiver installed in the old phone, so it could play back recorded messages. Today, passersby can step up to the booth, check out a menu of current messages, and select one or more using the touchtone keypad. Carie Meier and Kourosh Ghadishah of the Caledonia St. firm LondonMeier created the visuals behind the payphone. The selection of recordings is eclectic, ranging from an old timer recalling Sausalito during the Summer of Love to a poem by Naiomi Shihab Nye performed by voice over professional Joe Paulino.  A fellow named Jeremey describes living aboard a 26-foot sailboat for 18 years.  A segment called "Salty & Sound" presents a one-minute immersive audio postcard of Sausalito sounds. There's a 4-minute biography of Sally Stanford, the ex-Madam who became mayor of Sausalito. The group El Cajon performs the song "Captain" from their album "Meteor."  Various locals share what they like most about Sausalito.  And there's a search and find game with various riddles which must be solved to uncover a surprise. Tera even gets into the act herself, offering her recipe for the perfect pie shell. The plan is to change the menu quarterly, so repeat visits are recommended.  And the best part? There's never a busy signal."

I looked at it and did not see a price on the item. I decided to leave and then I met Simon on the way out. He asked if anything interested me. I asked him if he could let me know the price of the amethyst. He opened the cabinet and let me look at the piece. He said for you ... it's $$$. He was funny and full of character. The price was okay. The service was great. A short conversation later, I decided to pick it up. The store has a treasure trove type vibe. Full of antiques and interesting items for sale. Most items do not have prices on them so buyer beware. You need to have some knowledge of what you will pay for items before you enter. I believe I purchased my item at a fair price. 50% off after Christmas sale Purchased a heart shaped Brazilian amethyst at a good price! Nice personal service and experience here.

He told us the jewelry was all hand-made (which seemed true since the metals were not bent perfectly) and I decided to purchase a ring for my mom with a aquamarine type crystal. I thought the price was reasonable $95, and the service was pleasant and not pushy (which often drives me out of numerous jewelry spots.)

I own two Daniel Merriam original…read morewatercolors, including "Euphoria," which is featured on page 65 of his first book, "The Impetus of Dreams." I also have one called, "Chili Peppers" that I love. More importantly is how I came to own these. Shortly after I was married in late 2001 to a beautiful artist, we were in bed looking at different art magazines and I came across one with a painting by Daniel. I was enthralled. Over a few weeks my wife and I decided we would go to San Francisco and up to Portland and Seattle. I wondered what would happen if I reached out to Daniel. He responded and was more than gracious to us. When we got into SF, he invited us to his home and we were able to see large projects in the making and multiple paintings he had that were ready for sale. One was Euphoria. It had been painted years before but he believed it was harder to sell due to prurient views some had of mild nudity. What truly stood out though was Daniel as a human being. Art was truly his passion and people were his other passion. We were treated as if we were old friends. I have purchased other art from other artists, and I have commissioned art. These two will be in my heart forever. Daniel, thank you for a moment in time! It is still cherished decades later.

    Wow, what a unique and magical gallery!…read more Bubble Street Gallery - and the art within - is so whimsical and magical. Usually I can cruise through galleries as it's not all my style, but even with this being one artist and style, I had to look closely at each one. We didn't walk out with any purchases as most was out of our price range, but we really enjoyed looking through - and it put the artist on my radar. I enjoyed that they had puzzles and other less expensive options as well. Highly recommend taking a look through if you're in Sausalito!

I spent my first wedding anniversary here with my husband. This week we are celebrating our 13th anniversary here in Sausalito. It is the perfect seaside small town. They have many wonderful restaurants and shops. There is a Ferry you can take into the city. You can ride a bike from the Golden Gate Bridge into Sausalito. No matter what you do here, you always have the perfect view of the ocean. There a few lovely hotels and everything is within walking distance. You can take a nice stroll right by the water and breathe in the fresh ocean air. It's a great place to escape the day to day grind of the city. It's so relaxing and laid back here. The weather is always beautiful and the views are picturesque.

This is a very cute city that is just on the other side of the Golden Gate bridge. The views along the shore are stunning and you can tell real estate is expensive. Is this where the elite live? If you really made the flight from half way around the world to see San Francisco - this is part of it. The famous bridge you have to drive over and while your there make the Marin Headlands loop by car and stop for lunch in Sausalito. I'm not sure why but ladies go crazy for this place. A friend of mine screamed in delight with anticipation of going here later that day. It must be in tourist brochures floating around somewhere. I'm not sure - I never saw them. Delighted the ladies will be. Over priced lunches in a cute little city. Very charming - and one can only daydream of living here. I've spent lots of time wondering why nobody likes living in San Francisco - people prefer to live here or even across the bay - I think it all had to do with the 1906 earthquake... San Francisco is where people work. People don't really want to live there... If you take a look here maybe it will be easier to understand. My uncle lived in Twin Peaks area - and even that - a $2M house is undesirable - fog, no stores or neighborhood vibe and a horrid, horrid commute to financial district. It is a great idea to come here. So many tourists fly into the city only to leave shortly after to see wine country or other far off places. Maybe a long the way check out Muir Woods to the north - but check for parking availability and if you can reserve it. Great little city with views - part of your SF tour.

    *Truly unique location with an outstanding staff*…read more We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Studio 333 and the entire experience was wonderful. From the first time we toured the space, Christopher and his staff were so helpful and friendly. Throughout the entire planning process Christopher was accessible to answer our questions and connect us with vendors, and this was truly helpful!! The day of the wedding Christopher and his staff were OUTSTANDING and the space was a perfect set up for the wedding. It was intimate, inviting, festive, and the art was beautiful. All of our guests have told us how much fun they had at our wedding and "what a cool/unique location we chose for our wedding". This is a perfect space for all kinds of parties, meetings, and other small gatherings. It is also a great place to come and check out local art.

All we had was a small shopping bag from the store next door and her small purse, and after looking around and not finding anything, the lady working was waving an empty hanger accusing us of stealing when she was watching us the whole time. After that we felt very uncomfortable and left the store. My girlfriend offered for her to look into our bags but she declined and continued to follow us out the store and stare us down until the crosswalk.
