While touring other Alameda-oriented blogs last night, I discovered that Stop, Drop & Roll had already discovered the novelty of the Border's escalator. Sorry SD&R! Brilliant minds think alike? I'll wave to you next time I see you over there...I'll be the one with the two little kids giggling madly on the newfangled stair machine. Oopsie.

So Alameda's suddenly gone from a no escalator town to two escalator town. Go Alameda! Rumor is there’s an escalator in the new theatre, too.

Thumbs up to lots of books; thumbs down to lots of toys. (That's my thumbs down, of course; the children had no issues with the toys.) But what we found most novel? Most exciting? Borders has an escalator. And we are relatively sure--please correct us if we're wrong here--this is the only store in Alameda that has a real, live escalator. So we rode up and down it several times just to savor how very modern (and how very, um, hilly) our town is becoming. My two children and I went to the new Borders yesterday.
