Today’s 96 hours section in the Chronicle features our very own Alameda Marketplace!
Large rectangular and curved windows allow natural light to fill the cavernous red brick building at 1650 Park St. in Alameda. Once housing a car dealership, today it’s home to the Alameda Marketplace, where specialty food proprietors create a culinary community. The feeling here is downright neighborly, thanks to the small-town nature of this island city and the fact that, while very knowledgeable, the people here are unpretentious and welcoming.
