Dispatch from Benicia: The Strait Story

By Michael Lester

Informative and entertaining essays about San Francisco's Strait-side suburb. Although this booklet includes a guide to events and attractions, its focus is the culture of Benicia, a charming and isolated small town about an hour north of San Francisco. The author, who has also sent dispatches from Scandinavia, Israel, Panama, Mallorca and other foreign shores, provides insight into the lifestyle of all-American, apple-pie Benicia, contrasting the suburban section of town with the historical district. Chapters include history and geography lessons, tourist tips, and interviews with the mayor, chief of police, and presidents of the community theater group, chamber of commerce and historical society.
