4. [CA-HISTORY] Swedenborgian Collection at P.S.R. [1]
Got this on another list where they are looking for Librarian for the Swedenborgian Collection, which will now be at the Pacific School of Religion, Graduate Theological Union, Berkeley. But this not about the job, but that people in the past have asked about Swedenborgian Church in San Francisco. Maybe they will have some information here. Not sure if they are ready for a number of question, at this time. So maybe we should wait to they hire the person, which looks like it will not happen until April.
5. Re: [CA-HISTORY] Re: [CASANFRA] Key System last day across the bridge [1]
Hi George, I lived in Berkeley in the late 1940s-early 50s, and I remember (more recently) seeing train tracks along Shattuck. Did the Key system go along Shattuck, and when it got to San Francisco did it go underground to a terminal? Or am I getting two different modes of transportation mixed up?

6. [CA-HISTORY] Photographer Perry Ives, in U.C., in the 1950's/old photos [1]
First I want to apology, if you get this on multiple lists, but felt the more people that know the better. I found this in the February issue of the "California Monthly", the magazine of the California Alumni Association. If you or a family member when to U.C. Berkeley, "CAL", in the 1950's there is a good chance that you or they had a photo taken by Perry Ives, who had a studio near Sather Gate in the 1950's, before the construction of the Student Union eliminated that block of Telegraph Avenue.

I was curious about an entry In _California Place Names_ , Gudde. ALLENSWORTH (Tulare) Lieutenant Colonel Allen Allensworth founded the community about 1909 as part of a colonization scheme for Negroes. Unfortunately he was killed in an automobile accident in 1914 before his idea was comletely carried out. ----- I did some net searching and found some very interesting sites about this town, park , and the man........... Very interesting reading........ The year was 1908 and some bold folks got together
8. Re: [CA-HISTORY] Re: [CASANFRA] Key System last day across the bridge [1]
Carol The Key System, did go along on Shattuck Ave, when it when across the Bay Bridge, it stop at the S.F. Bay Terminal, where now the A.C. Buses, along with Greyhound, Golden Gate, and Sam Trans, all stop. The tracks that run under Shattuck Ave., in Berkeley, is B.A.R.T., and does go under ground in both San Francisco, and Berkeley (thanks to Mayor Wallace Johnson of Berkeley, who fought to have people of Berkeley vote on that.)

9. Re: [CA-HISTORY] Re: [CASANFRA] Key System last day across the bridge [1]
Hi George, I was fortunate enough to have lived in Berkeley when BART came to a vote and left after its first "run." But I remember having a nightmare as a wee child about arriving in San Francisco underground with my mother, and she walked up the steps to ground level, leaving me behind. That would've been in the late 1940s.

10. [CA-HISTORY] Oakland Key System links [1]
Thanks to everyone with information on the stop for the Key System, at Treasure Island, it was on Yerba Buena Island, and then you would take a bus down. Still have not found out the last day the trains ran, but will keep looking. Here are a couple of web sites the first is of photos of the cars. The next is a history on the National City Lines, which took over the Key System, a got rid of the trains, for buses.

Fun to see picture of these "old" busses------- The Pacific Bus Museum (this is a rolling museum- no permanent headquarters as of yet) http://www.pacbus.org/ I remember taking a bus (as a pre drivers license teen) --------Seems that for less than one dollar we could ride the bus to town, have lunch at Woolworth's counter, and see a show ! And while we were downtown, we would hit the record store and go into one of those booths (in a row of about five booths with glass windows between them) and listen

21. [CA-HISTORY] Key System to Treasure Island Fair [1]
Last night on KTVU, channel 2, in Oakland they had a repeat of a 1989, show on the 1939-40 Worlds Fair on Treasure Island. At one point they say that people got there by one of three ways, ferry (knew about that way, car on the Bay Bridge (knew that also) and by the Key System, knew about the Key System on the bridge, for I road it the last day that they were running on the bridge, but did not know that they stop at Treasure Island. Where did they stop, and how did they get down to the island. George __

Carol The trains would of come off the bridge aboveground, but there are a number of stairways, and one of the ways out, looks like you are underground, and then come up. Maybe Bill will know the answer. George --- Carol De Priest wrote: > Hi George, > > I was fortunate enough to have lived in Berkeley > when BART came to a vote > and left after its first "run."

The other day when I was at the Chapel of the Chimes, in Oakland, I picked up a flyer on some tours that they will be having on Sat. March, 2, 10-12pm. They say that space is limited for these docent-guided tours, that you should call (510) 654-0123. That is all I know, but some of you might be interested.
