Wood purchased the property, he named two streets after himself, resulting in two intersections with the exact same names. I could have sworn I had already passed this intersection a while back.Īs it turns out, I had and was not experienced some kind of temporary cognitive impairment. Am I losing my touch?Īs I walked down the street, I had a Bill Murray “Groundhog Day” moment when I noticed the intersection of Northwood and Southwood. The real cat in the driveway didn’t even bat an eye when I started barking. Check out the several swings that are hanging from the street trees and the old-time fire hydrant.

In addition to the architecture, the landscaping is worth noting along with various street elements. There are some very impressive houses along the street with lots of architectural features like Spanish tile roofs, Moorish looking turrets, Mediterranean inspired wrought ironwork, and Old English Tudor trim. With the knowledge that I needed to keep an eye on my human companion and his bum knee, I pressed on. One section was particularly noteworthy, because unlike other sections of the sidewalk constructed from concrete, this one section had hard rubber squares as the walking surface which made it a little easier to walk. The first thing that needs to be pointed out is that there are sections of the Gibbons sidewalk that could be challenging if one had mobility issues. I started my walk at the corner of High Street and Gibbons Drive and headed south. According to Dennis Evanosky, Alameda’s premier local historian, a guy named Fred Wood purchased the estate after a fire destroyed most of the buildings, and he was the one that had the road go right through the location of the Cohen house.ĭennis was kind enough to provide me a map drawn by Dick Rutter back in 2010 showing the current streets and where the original house was located. I decided to head down to the Fernside area and take a walk along Gibbons Drive to check out the wild diagonal orientation of the street. My roving reporter predecessor Bear had visited the tree lined street one year during the fall when the trees turned to the fall colors of red, orange, yellow, and finally brown before clogging up the gutters.

Cohen Estate located in the Fernside District of Alameda, long before there was a Gibbons Drive. Way back in July (on the 28th to be exact), The Alameda Post ran a feature on the A. Bear’s-Eye View of Alameda for August 13, 2023
