Olde Emeryville

Tanks

When I moved to California in 1986, the only place I could afford to live was in Emeryville.

The house I rented was in a industrial area of town.

In fact, most of the town was in a industrial area of town.

Tracks and tanks sprawled over the landscape just a few feet beyond the rose bushes surrounding my front door.

There's much to be said for contrast.

I came to love the tanks.
