Super Bowl: What's the Best Thing to Do If You Don't Watch the Game?

With much of the Bay Area distracted, it's a great opportunity for activities that normally would be overcrowded on a Sunday.

If you don't care whether the San Francisco 49ers or Baltimore Ravens win the Super Bowl on Sunday and you don't want to be near anybody who does, the East Bay offers plenty to do that afternoon that doesn't have anything to do with football.

If you're planning a non-sports outing or know of such events, let us and your fellow Patch readers know about them in the comments section.

Here's a few suggestions:

  • The Lawrence Hall of Science in Berkeley is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. that day. One of their ongoing exhibits now is Science on a Sphere, which features an animated globe where you can watch hurricanes form and tsunamis roar.
  • Also in Berkeley, Urbano Cellars hosts wine tasting on Sundays from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. at their facility on Fourth Street.
  • If ghosts are more your thing, there is a paranormal conference being held all day Saturday and Sunday. The highlight of the Grey Ghost Paracon is an investigation of the supposedly haunted U.S.S. Hornet docked in Alameda.
  • If you want to hear some music, there is the John Karl Hirten Organ Church being performed at 5 p.m. Sunday at the Cathedral of Christ The Light.
  • If you're in the mood for theatrics, the Firehouse Arts Center in Pleasanton has performances of "Rent" at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. on Sundays.

Everybody is serviced with the water through these old pipes. No matter how much you use, if yourRead More water is interupted for weeks or months after a major earthquake, you home is rendered "UNLIVABLE". They could have raised your "TAX ASSESSMENT" each year just like Garbage and Yard Disposal but that would be unfair to the homes that are unoccupied or are rentals. The rental owner would just raise the rents to cover it but they ususally take a 200% bonus on the rent so the landloard can take a "piece of the Action". Once a Tax Assessment goes on your property tax, it never comes off. Remember, the Water is FREE...it is the service that gets it from the source to your kitchen sink or bath that costs money. Be Glad the Oil and Gas companies have not made your water unfit to drink in Amameda County....YET.
