Contra Costa Marketplace - June 2016

El Cerrito Round-Up June 2016 From our Readers I enjoy your magazine. I read each issue from cover to cover, and always Änd information of interest regarding local services and events. I saw the ad asking about a business or service found through use of the magazine, and wanted to share that I found Wadsworth Glass through the Marketplace magazine. I was looking for a glass table top to be custom made, to cover an antique mahogany dining table. I got multiple estimates and selected Wadsworth Glass. They not only offered the service (custom glass cutting, polishing and delivery) at a reasonable price, but also provided outstanding personalized service. I highly recommend them.

Unfortunately that same building and the entire Playland collection is in jeopardy. A decision Richard made many years back to help out a friend financially has come back, described Biafore, and the non-profit is being forced to sell the building they have occupied for nearly two decades. “We are working on finding somewhere to move or looking for a buyer who appreciates the historical significance and will work with us as tenants in our current building. We want to build a bigger fundraising community to keep Playland Not At The Beach going and to preserve the fun parts of Bay Area history, which is what Richard wanted all along,” Biafore shared. “Richard’s philosophy was that we don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” Playland Not At The Beach 10979 San Pablo Ave, El Cerrito.
