    • The bus system in Stockton is regular but slow. You're better off renting a car or getting a ride from someone. The bicycle path along the Calaveras river is a quick short ride for the experienced cyclist.

    Many central valley cities have closed their bus terminals, but Stockton's remains busy enough. There is a break in the mid-day between 12 and 3pm, but mornings and evenings are fairly busy. The station patrons are not the jet set, but Greyhound appears to have worked hard to clean up its image by getting rid of the bums and winos hanging around. I saw nothing unpleasant in the group that climbed aboard my bus. I took an Express bus from Stockton to LA. The bus left at 9:30am and arrived in LA at 4pm, which is not a bad experience given that normally I'd be quite tired by the drive. The bus was nearly full, but I lucky enough to sit next to a pretty 19 year old black woman, and we shared some interesting conversations. My fair was paid by my employer, but to get a significant savings over even the cheapest airfare, pay for the ticket at least 7 days in advance.

    Stockton is not normally noted for its fine architecture because it has largely both sprawling suburban drab and post WWII chicken coop fixer uppers. Having said that, because Stockton is one of the older cities in California, it's downtown has some fine old brick highrises, and uptown has numerous pockets of urban affluence. The Magnolia district, which is closer to downtown off El Dorado, has many vintage Victorian era homes of historical preservation status. Some are restored, others are in need of restoration. More uptown, off Harding Way, near St. Joseph's Hospital, is a small neighborhood of large and stately homes originally built as homes for the physicians at the hospital and at the now deceased state mental institution (the grounds of which is now a collection of college satelllite campuses). My favorite haunt is nearer my home, near UOP, generally known as the Oxford Circle area (which is located in the center of the neighborhood). The confusing little streets in the area are lined with a variety of architecturally significant minor master pieces, most of which are completely restored and improved. Styles here range from Queen Anne, and California Bungalow, to Spanish revival and Early Modern. Take the dog for a walk or jog through this neighborhood. Stronger runners can take several of these neighborhoods in on one run, from downtown to UOP and back via Victory Park would be a great run for those who are really fit.

    The largest annual festival in Stockton that I know of is the Asparagas Festival which is held in late April every year. Tons of asparagas, one of my favorite greens, are deep fried, stir fried, turned into ice cream, and so on. Live music, celebrity chef competitons, handicraft vendors, and other entertainment are all part of this huge event now held at Webber Point. The proceeds of the event go to charity.

    Others have written about the lack of things to do downtown, and at the moment at least, this is sadly true. However, if you are booked to stay overnight downtown, a walk/jog tour around downtown is worth it. Unlike many larger and younger cities in California, Stockton does have an old, partly restored downtown with many classic brick highrise buildings with ornate cornices. The restoration process has a long way to go, so expect to see some construction fences and plywood closing off first floor entrances, but the streets and sidewalks are generally in good shape. If you are a realestate investor for downtown property, this is a buyers market of some architectural treasures in need of TLC and modernization. Start around the area of the waterfront, on El Dorado Street near the new Cinema complex and the old architectural gem, Stockton Hotel. Walk east to San Joaquin Street and turn left to find the old Fox Theatre near the corner of Main. Proceed east down Main until you reach the relatively new and massive Washington Mutual building and then circle north to return to the waterfront. This is a short jog for those who are fit. If you want to jog further, try either heading west along the waterfront areas (both sides of McCloud lake, or head north into the uptown and Magnolia district.

    At the junction of the crosstown freeway and I-5, Stockton has a nice downtown waterfront that is improving with redevelopment. There are a variety of places in the area that will rent a boat for water skiing and fishing in the San Joaquin River Delta area. The downtown waterfront is a good place to start, near where boats can be rented from boat sales shops, but check out the marinas in and just out of town.

  • Address: Downtown waterfront or various marinas in the area
  • Directions: Just out of town, mostly north of the crosstown freeway, west of I-5, there are a number of marinas more within the Delta region. The photo is of Buckley Cove at the west end of March Lane.

    • Our dock on Smith Canal - Stockton
    Our dock on Smith Canal
    by atufft, 4 more photos
    Since we have a dock on the Smith Canal, anyone living in the Bay Area and beyond are welcome to navigate their way to our home. We have room for overnight visitors, and the dock space is ample for even the largest private vessels. Some sailboats with tall masts might not be able to pass under the I-5 bridge, but all others, short of commercial freighters can easily come up the Smith Canal. The speed limit is 5mph along the Smith Canal. Please don't create a wake that rocks the neighborhood docks. We occasionally take friends or family out for a ride in the pedalling kayak.

    Leave a Comment

  • Address: Smith Canal, contact me for specific instructions
  • Directions: Half way between I-5 and the bridge at Pershing Avenue. This is a navigable waterway, but be careful of low tide and submerged debris along the canal sides. Stay in the middle with a speed max of 5mph. The image of the dock will help.

    Since we have a waterfront home with a large garden, visitors to our house find a surprising meditation close to downtown and freeways. Contact me and tell me your plans. We have room to spare for those planning a short stay. I do work on my house a lot, and longer term visitors are expected to contribute to the upkeep of the garden and house, chores which are generally very relaxing. We don't have noisey children or pets, so adults and students are welcome to contact me for more information.

    • Bob Hope Theater - Stockton
    Bob Hope Theater
    by atufft
    The beautiful 1930's era Fox Theatre has been completely restored and renamed the Bob Hope Theatre, due in part to the friendship of million sponsor and local resident, Art Spanos (owns San Diego Chargers football team, among other things). Although not fully booked around the year yet, the venerable old theatre is a good venue to see live popular musicial and theatre entertainment. Due to its smaller size, it typically books the second level acts, often former great talent of one or another sort. The downtown location is idea, not for parking, but for it's atmosphere. Check out the website below for more information about this old building and its restoration. It's worthwhile just seeing on a walking tour of downtown.
