The stone bench and mosaic tile on the ground are restored and beautiful, and appear to be in pristine condition as of April 2024. The lovely poem engraved onto the memorial was written by O'Connell several months before his death in 1899. With lovely plants and shrubs, creating a garden-like environment, it's a nice little historical piece hidden among the neighborhood homes at the cross of Atwood, Bulkley, and Harrison Ave.

This place is a phenomenal animal hospital and education center, and it's clear the volunteer staff cares just as much about the visitors as they do about the animals. They provide a laminated map so you can explore at your own pace, but we highly recommend paying for the guided tour. Our tour took us past the large Elephant Seal statue and a view inside the treatment labs and fish kitchen. From the second-level observation deck, we watched the staff care for patients in their pens--they can hold and treat hundreds of seals, sea lions, and endangered species at a time. We loved reading the success stories of animals they've rescued and released, like Lincoln, through the before-and-after flip boards. We left with a whole new appreciation for the incredible work they do here. Please visit, learn, and support this fantastic organization!

It's easy to see that there's a connection that's very personal between everyone that comes there to learn and everyone that's there that teaches. Truly, a shining star of an organization.

The golden hour was upon us, and the city was bathed in beautiful light, while a big tanker was cruised by next to several beautiful sailboats.

That's okay, because it saves my pocketbook and still gives me a cute area to stroll through.

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."

A Sausalito celebrity, this guy balances rocks and stones on top of one another, point to point, side to side, in ways that defy gravity. Usually Bill Dan sets up shop on the weekends outside Piccolo cafe on Bridgeway-- just look for the crowd gathering around him. While it is more fun to see the man in action creating his natural sculptures, there are usually some remnants of his performance that linger along the waterfront well after he has left so keep your eyes peeled. Everyone has their theory on how he does it. I think he has a magnetism that comes from within and charges the rocks so that they stick to one another. Whatever your theory, be sure to take home some of his polaroids so that when you tell your friends about this guy's skills, they'll believe you. Really though, this is something you have to see with your own eyes to believe!
