I really miss Bay Meadows ...
giddy uop !
Was that the track north of Berkeley? What happened to it?
Me too. I used to watch the horses exercise in the morning while I waited for the train. On race days we could walk to the track and have a picnic on the infield. Certainly added a quite a bit of character to the neighborhood (sometimes pungent, heheh, but not as bad as the tidal flats exposed at low tide).
