"I have lived in downtown Berkeley for 9 years. It is unique because of all of the different kinds of restaurants, cafes, the library, three theaters in a 3 block radius of one another, places to see live music, free classes at the library and other places, the jazz school, Berkeley Rep, Freight and Salvage, two institutions of higher education, and more! 😊"
