The web page for the city of Richmond lists 7 fire stations. For the next 7 weeks, my subject for the 2008 Challenge will be these fire stations.

This fire station is located at 140 West Richmond Avenue in Point Richmond.

When you think of classic arcade games, Pac-Man has got to be high on the list. The game is a simple concept — just one maze, 5 characters, and a bonus fruit — that it seems almost boring. But it was implemented quite well. The difficulty was just right…it always seemed that if I just played one more game, I could get past that level.

The arcade cabinet is difficult to find these days, but here is that wonderful sound that you hear after paying your quarter and pushing the start button. Now you can get that thrill every time somebody calls your phone! There is also an mp3 version for your enjoyment.

BART – Bay Area Rapid Transit – is the San Francisco Bay Area’s attempt at a public transit system. This image of a Richmond train approaching the El Cerrito Plaza station is my image for Week 8 of the 2008 Challenge.
