oakland’s great unseen sites

Can you keep a secret? The 1,500 enrollees at Mills College have. It’s very rare to find other visitors when you check out this arcadian campus in the Oakland hills. Mills boasts six Julia Morgan buildings but  the finest jewels, at least in the Geezer’s opinion, are the Art Gallery and the Concert Hall. Both are […]
