Nobhill is the place to be.

Came to Nobhill with the Korean to get gas and a $5 car wash! This
little corner of alameda is new to me and a lot of its residents. Its
a little piece of quiet and serenity from the rest if the town. Its
located near the water so you can see beautiful remnant bridges
contrasted with the newly built shopping center. Not to mention the
promotional dirt-cheap car washes!
