EMeryville california top view public market - View of Emeryville

Emeryville is a small city on the San Francisco Bay that acts as a gateway to the East Bay (Bay Area) | East Bay from San Francisco. It exists at the intersection of three major freeways: I-80, I-580, and I-880.

Emeryville is going through a period of aggressive re-development started during the 1990s and 2000s, where industrial factories and warehouses are being replaced by modern retail and residential uses. Much of this was spurred by anti-development policies in neighbors such as Berkeley (California) | Berkeley and Oakland.

The city is also known for its IKEA store and tech companies, such as Pixar studios. The city is featured in some small way in almost every Pixar film, such as on a map with actual street names in the film The Incredibles or a "Greetings from Emeryville" postcard at the dentist's office in Finding Nemo.

If you are able to obtain access and the campus is impressive. Steve Jobs oversaw much of the early design, going so far as to hand-select brick colors for the main building and insisting that bathrooms be placed far enough away from offices to force employees to walk through the building to create random connections with others. Animators are given great freedom with their cubicles, and some have built elaborate huts, tiki structures, or other individualized creations for their workspaces. The more recently-built Steve Jobs building hides a lounge within its fireplace that pays homage to Jimmy Claxton and the first black athlete to play in an organized baseball league. Beyond these hidden gems, visitors will appreciate the company store, vast amounts of Pixar memorabilia, numerous screening rooms, and company cafeteria.
