I posted the below to the SDC Forum and got some good info, but I thought I'd expand the data base a little and ask you guys for additional input. 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, Paul Johnson
