Station Area
The station is surrounded by many businesses including the Del Norte Marketplace shopping center with Walgreens, Orchard, IHOP, Dollar Tree, and Staples. For years a Target lay next door but was closed when the Great Recession economy was found not to support this old location and a new one located in the nearby Macdonald 80 Shopping Center. It has now been remodeled into a large Safeway supermarket with a small shopping strip and room reserved for high density dwellings. Del Norte Plaza lies catty-corner from the station and has small offices providing legal and dental services. On the north side of the station there is a motel, the Del Norte Place apartments, a Honda dealership, Starbucks, Macdonald's, Louisiana Fried Chicken, Home Depot and local restaurants. To the south of the station lay Playland-Not-At-The-Beach amusement park museum, a post office and the El Cerrito DMV. To the east lay single family homes up a sloping hill.

Famous quotes containing the words station and/or area:
“...I believe it is now the duty of the slaves of the South to rebuke their masters for their robbery, oppression and crime.... No station or character can destroy individual responsibility, in the matter of reproving sin.”
—Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)
“The area [of toilet training] is one where a child really does possess the power to defy. Strong pressure leads to a powerful struggle. The issue then is not toilet training but who holds the reins—mother or child? And the child has most of the ammunition!”
—Dorothy Corkville Briggs (20th century)
