The SF Chron asked the people where they find the best watching site in their daily bit Two Cents. Most popular answer? It’s quite lame, we’ll tell you that.
In regards to the top choice, Gerard Cecchettini from San Francisco put it best:
bq. In front of your TV! No traffic problems, no parking problems, safe, relaxing, with goodies to eat at your fingertips, you can drink and not have to be dry because you’re not driving, and you can watch the celebration across the United States with your honey. Can’t beat that!
But the Clog poo-poos that idea. We liked the suggestions of some others, like that of Anh Chu from Oakland. She recommended watching fireworks “on the grass at the Oakland A’s coliseum … after celebrating the A’s with great fans.”
Or how about a typical Berkeley native’s response? Elaine Lee suggested:
bq. Indian Rock in Berkeley. When you climb to the top of it, you get a magnificent, unobstructed view of the Bay Area. Simultaneously you get this remarkable surrealistic sensation of viewing fireworks while sitting on a beautiful huge rhyolite volcanic rock that is over 11 millions years old.
What about our two cents? We say head over to the Berkeley Marina, which, according to the city of Berkeley’s website, will house a giant slide. No mention of any age restriction…
The fireworks start at 9:30 p.m., but show up before 7 p.m. if you’re driving and want a decent parking space. Festivities start at noon.
Or, of course, you could make your own fireworks … in bed.
