Seniors Invited to See Sutro Baths Film in Castro Valley this Wednesday

Documentary movie takes a nostalgic look back at a landmark of San Francisco's past

From the Castro Valley Library:

A documentary film about Sutro Baths, San Francisco's privately owned swimming, ice skating and museum complex built in the late 19th century will be shown February 20 from 1:30 to 2:45 p.m. at the Castro Valley Library located at 3600 Norbridge Avenue. 

The program is specifically for older adults and their adult children and/or caregivers.

Journey back in time to revisit Sutro Baths when it was in full operation. See the seven pools, Sutro Railway, Merry Way, Sutro's Cliff House, Ice Skating Rink, Egyptian Mummy Museum, plus many more attractions. A nostalgic trip back in time told by historians and the people who were there is taken in the film "Sutro's The Palace at Land's End".

You can see images of what the baths looked like when in operation here.

For more information, call the library at 510-667-7900.

Another problem: When notified of a reply to a comment I could click the link in the email to go toRead More the article. That was not possible this time. So because a small minority zooms there computer the layout should be as it is? I don't think so. All that white space means that an article that could be read with just one or two clicks to scroll through is now going to take more scrolling to view. One thing that seems to be missing in today's world are web designers who (1) change the layout just because and (2) web designers who have neglected to consider the audience. The more I look at this layout the less I like it. The font needs to be darker than it is. the blue (like in "announcements") needs to be bolder. Overall, on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 best), I rank the new "improved" design a 3.
