Berkeley Then and Now
Event Information
About this event
Join us for a look at how things have changed in Berkeley from the perspectives of walking tour guides Tina Jones Williams, the Berkeley-native author of the Julia Street Series of novels set in South Berkeley, and Bob Johnson and Janet Byron, who arrived (separately) in Berkeley in the late 1980s and became friends and co-authors of Berkeley Walks. From the city dump to People’s Park to restaurants and retailers, much has changed in Berkeley—often for better and sometimes worse (while plenty has stayed the same).
Organizer Berkeley Historical Society
Organizer of Berkeley Then and Now
The Berkeley Historical Society, founded in the summer of 1978 from the ad-hoc Berkeley Centennial Celebration Committee, is a non-profit, all-volunteer group dedicated to researching, preserving and sharing Berkeley’s history. Through exhibits, lectures, walking tours and publications, an appreciation for the uniqueness of the city and the diversity of cultures that comprise the rich mosaic of Berkeley has been fostered and recognized.
