In Emeryville is about fresh, in-depth local news coverage. Honest stories and honest perspectives. Listening to community voices, and reporting on them so others can hear too.

"BY ALBA MORA/ By the turn of the century Emeryville was known as “The Butchertown” because of the number of slaughterhouses in the city limits. In the 1920s it was known as “The Rottenest City” on the coast due to an excess of gambling salons. From there, warehouses popped up in the city in the 1940s. Those were later converted to artist loft communes in the early 1970s. Nowadays newcomers like Pixar, IKEA and the condos on Hubbard Street are shaping the current scenery."

Changing Landscapes is a slideshow documenting what’s been called Emeryville’s rebirth.
