  • Why build a wall around People's Park?

    Dec 27, 2024 | berkeleyside.org | Ally Markovich

    Editors’ note: This week we’re republishing some of our favorite stories of 2024. This story was first published on Jan. 5, the day after UC Berkeley walled off People’s Park. UC Berkeley took the shocking step of cordoning off People’s Park early Thursday morning with a wall of shipping containers stacked 17 feet high, the latest escalation in a long history of conflict over Berkeley’s most fiercely contested plot of land.

    Editors’ note: Berkeley High senior Maya Merhige swam across the 20.5-mile English Channel on Saturday in 11 hours, 39 minutes — making her one of the youngest swimmers to ever complete the Triple Crown of Open Water Swimming, which also includes crossing the 20-mile Catalina Channel and swimming 28.5 miles around Manhattan. Berkeleyside is resharing this profile of Merhige, first published last September.

  • Where to go for last-minute camping near Berkeley this holiday weekend

    Jul 2, 2024 | berkeleyside.org | Ally Markovich

    Editor’s note: In advance of the July 4 holiday, Berkeleyside is updating this story that first appeared in 2023. California’s several hundred parks feature some of the most beautiful wilderness in the country, many within a few hours drive of Berkeley. But reserving a campground can be unduly challenging. The state and national parks reservations websites are so popular that you often have to make reservations six months in advance, or more for holiday weekends or popular destinations.
