The little town of Port Costa, on the Carquinez Strait in Northern California, about 30 miles from San Francisco is another world away. It goes back to the old days, what all the little towns around here were at one time.
Communal mail boxes where I can envision people picking up mail and standing about to chat when they meet up with their neighbors.
The visit to Port Costa was made one morning during the week, so most places were closed, but it was fun walking around on the little main street peeking into windows and imagining a time when life may have been a little simpler.
I’ll just take you along on my walk for a little way
The Warehouse Cafe right by the water, famous among all in the area, and hosts some great weekend music outside in back.
Short walk, but I hope it was enjoyed. There are so many wonderful little places like this tucked away nearby. More road trips are on my list.
I love that you travel and explore all over the world AND in your own back yard! Great pics and so fun to discover these treasures so close.

Small towns aren’t so small when we start walking around spending time on details. A nice journey, Angeline.

Do you know it well? And you said most places were closed in the morning when you visited – so is it a bit deserted?

This is the first time I was there. Not deserted, but few visitors go during the week.

I really like the dry goods store, with the reflection of the yellow building in the window. That’s a clever shot, in my view. Looks like a slow-moving town for an old retiree to relax in.

Thanks, TG. It’s really slow moving town for sure. I’d love to live in a place like that. Old everything…I’d fit right in 🙂
