THANK YOU Benicia Restaurants! It’s Take-out Tuesday! We continue to thank first responders, healthcare professionals and essential superheros who are keeping us going while allowing us to shelter at home. Today we send a big THANK YOU to Benicia restaurants that are offering take-out, curbside pickup, on-line ordering, delivery and all sorts of ways to support while observing social distancing in this unusual situation caused by COVID-19. Don’t need a meal? Send one to local friends, family or coworkers! We love our Benicia eateries and want them to be there for us when the quarantine lifts. That means we need to be there for them now. If you’re able to support them, check the regularly updated list of restaurants and other essential #Benicia businesses that are open at https://visitbenicia.org/support-benicia-businesses/ (Link in profile.)

With @callofthewild , starring HarrisonFord, set to premier Friday, it’s a good time to remind of Jack London's haunts in #Benicia (1892-95). #JackLondon lived and worked on Benicia’s waterfront in his early years. He roamed from Benicia to Alviso as an #OysterPirate and later became a member of the #FishPatrol enforcing fish poaching laws. During his stay in Benicia, he began to write, garnering experiences and inspiration for his books #TalesoftheFishPatrol and #JohnBarleycorn. Check out his haunt, Jurgenson Old Corner Saloon, now @angelheart4you at 501 First Street. Where’s Jack London? Throughout the month of March, you have a chance to win $100 in #DowntownDollars. Look for framed photos of Jack London in participating downtown Benicia businesses and email the keyword found on the frame to @beniciamainst to be entered in the drawing. Details at BeniciaMainStreet.org. @visitbenicia @harrisonford_official_page @beniciamainst #callofthewild #harrisonford #jacklondon #downtownbenicia #wheresjacklondon #antiques #vintage #collectibles #framedphoto #email #keyword #play #win #historicbenicia #myBenicia (at Benicia, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8zUmJOFdS2/?igshid=1706iz4x5rv12
