Visions for Vacancies: Former University Dental

What would you like to see at the former University Dental on San Pablo Ave?

The space where University Dental on San Pablo is vacant. We would like to know what you would like to see here.

This space is located at 847 San Pablo Avenue at Solano Avenue. The space has a total of 10,000 square feet. It’s currently fully built out as a dental office with a lot of the equipment already in place. Obviously, it would be great if Albany needed another dentist and one was looking for a new office, but it is possible to convert it into something completely different.

Would you like another dentist in Albany or would you like this space used for something else?

Other suggestions for filling vacancies...Could the old Oaks theater be converted to a community theater? I'd love to be able to go see some good live theater and I'd guess the theater crowd would be good for local upper Salano business.

Hi John, we also covered the Oaks Theatre this week but on Berkeley Patch since its on that side of Solano. And I read that the owner would consider converting it to a theater for live performances. Here's the Patch article: http://berkeley.patch.com/articles/visions-for-vacancies-oaks-theater

And there are a good many theaters to enjoy (not that more wouldn't be nice!)... CCCT is wrapping up "Children of Eden" (and will be opening "Next to Normal" soon... I'm so looking forward to that); YMTC (which produced a splendid "West Side Story" last year) has one more weekend of "Wonderful Town" at the Julia Morgan on College.
What sorts of things in particular would you like to see?

I wonder if there is demand for a coworking site in Albany.

It turns out there are no branches of a credit union in Albany, El Cerrito, or Kensington.

Hi there - This doesn't seem like an appropriate announcement for Albany or Berkeley Patch. 1) theRead More category is Announcements/Around Town and these events are all in Marin 2) Patch's "Terms of Use" say "You may use this Service solely for personal and non-commercial purposes. That is to say: You can’t use the Service to make a living unless you enter into a separate agreement with us that says you can." This is clearly solely a commercial venture, not a neighbor of ours or local organization providing a community service and charging for the service. 3) I went to the Novato website and saw this listing: "Ettiquette (sic) Series for Kids - 17737 Ages: 7 Years to 11 Years - Residents $150.00 - Non-residents $163.00" 4) These items push our items of local interest down and out of sight. Especially now that there is no box indicating the stories with the most recent comments, as there used to be on the Patch front page, out of sight does mean out of mind. Charles, what are your thoughts here? Thanks.

I've been waiting for the right time to donate my son's old bike he used in middle/high school. It'sRead More been hanging on hooks in the garage and this seems like a great time to give it up!

Can you please post their hours / days of operation ? As i recall, they're only open afternoons aRead More few days a week, and it won't do to just leave donations outside ( they'll be scavenged ). And i was not able to find the info online.

Thanks, Christopher. Open Community Hours are Friday, Saturday, Sunday 12-6pm so anytime those daysRead More are definitely fine. They're there (84 Bolivar Drive - Aquatic Park) most of the day Wednesdays and Thursdays for Youth Classes and the doors are locked. I just spoke to Amber Rich and she asked you to call them at 510 644 2577 and let them know what time is good for you and they will be sure to be there. Thanks for your generosity!

Thanks for the update but I am worried. This is very distressing. How will Eric and Tarina be ableRead More to afford their annual lengthy hipster vacation if they have to cough up lawyer fees? I am sure they were expecting that UCB (aka the rest of us) would pay Mr. Siegel's bill. Now they may have to resort to staying home and eating Top Ramen out of their charming and cheerful "made in Asia by small children but they're not slaving for 14 hours a day in front of our faces so we don't care" ceramic bowls. Oh noes! Bad, bad, very, very bad news.

David, thanks for the alert to the judge's decision.
