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.

Beloved Classics, Rebuilt: Inside Vallejo’s Kindred Motorworks

The building sat empty for thirty years. Now, on Vallejo’s Mare Island, it holds some of the most carefully reengineered classic cars in California. Kindred Motorworks takes the Ford Bronco, the Volkswagen Bus and the Porsche 911, three of the most beloved shapes in automotive history, and rebuilds them as modern machines. Most are fully electric, and every one keeps the silhouette that made it famous.
