    NOT OT- San Francisco Bay Area info needed

    Next May-June the Potomac Chapter, SDC is taking another long trip (like our 6,000-mile Route 66 trip in '03, but further north). We plan to leave Chambersburg, PA on 5/20 on the old Lincoln Highway and end up in the San Francisco Bay Area on 6/6. In that we used to live in EastBay (Castro Valley), my wife and I are wagonmasters for California. I was always fond of Jack London Square in Oakland and had planned to stay there for the five days/four nights we will be in the SF area. Recently I was told that the Jack London area has become pretty seedy and we might not want to stay there. So, my question is- is anyone familiar enough with Jack London Square to advise us re staying there? If not there, where?
    Thanks,

    The Jack London area has been seedy for decades. I would avoid it.

        Paul,

        Lived in the Danville, Blackhawk area before moving to the warmer southern clims of San Diego(how bout them Chargers!)4 yrs. ago. The area around the I-580/I-680 interchange has built up tremendously, lots of hotels, restaurants, a BART stop to go into SF, the Blackhawk Museum is within 5 miles. If you time it well, there always the Good Guys shows at the Fairgrounds. Enough motel/hotel choices to go from cheapo to 4 stars.
