Fat Dog, owner of Berkeley’s Subway Guitars and a legend of the city, dies at 80

Stapled to the baby blue front wall of Subway Guitars is a page of sheet music for the 1942 standard “There Will Never Be Another You.” It’s unclear whether it was intended as an elegy for Fat Dog, the founder and owner of the Berkeley shop that has served as a musical mecca for generations. But as news of his death on Oct. 30 at the age of 80 spread on social media, it seems like a perfect fanfare for a man who embodied Berkeley’s countercultural contradictions by turning his creative passion into a welcoming, self-sustaining empire that elevated everyone who crossed the threshold.

California Missions Road Trip: 21-Mission Itinerary

A California missions road trip is the oldest road trip in the state. Between 1769 and 1823, 21 Spanish missions were built along El Camino Real, the Royal Road, from San Diego to Sonoma — about a day’s journey, roughly 30 miles, apart. Today you can drive the whole chain in seven days, visiting the oldest building in San Francisco, the largest mission church in California, the chapel where Junípero Serra is buried, and the site of the Bear Flag Revolt.
