Before January arrived I already had a feeling that things will be different in 2016. Probably the main reason is that I have been dealing with so much snow during my December travels to the Sierra Nevada. My annual resolutions always seem to involve regular exercise, and I am off to a promising headstart with some beautiful morning walks. The altitude, I’m sure, makes them even more hearthealthy. And winter snows just might Deborah ludlow Stevens make this the most abundant spring and summer we’ve seen in a while. 2015 was a good year for Marketplace Magazine and there have been many promising developments in the communities that we serve. One indication of this is the many new advertisers we have partnered with in the past twelve months. Thank you and best wishes to all our readers and advertisers, old and new. May 2016 be a ha ppy and prosperous year for you. Deborah Welcome to another issue of Marketplace Magazine. The past year has been remarkable for the number, quality and diversity of new restaurants opening in West County. One of those is featured in this month’s issue, Bubbaloo Café in the Richmond Marina area. This breakfast and lunch place has quickly become a regular destination for workers in this growing business district, and if you can get away on a weekday, is a pleasant stop on a stroll along the John Strohmeier picturesque Richmond waterfront. You’ll also find information in this issue on the 27th Annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration in El Cerrito. Here at Marketplace we love and support local festivals, and this one, as organizer Patricia Durham relates, is “ready for the next level.” It happens on Monday January 18, with morning and evening events. See page 12 for more information. Thank you for reading Marketplace! John MATHEW D.
