Marin Avenue Circle Bear Fountain

(Berkeley Capital of California) In 1908, the developer John Spring, who owned properties which stretched from Grizzly Peak to the Bay, began lobbying FUNFACT in Sacramento to promote this idea. The capitol building was planned to be located on a piece of land by Indian Rock. One of the streets around the Marin Circle was named Los Angeles, in an attempt to attract Southern California voters who were not enthusiastic about changing the site. The Circle and its famous Bear-guarded fountain were part of a proposed grand entry. The California Legislature passed the proposal and the Governor signed the bill, but Berkeley was a dry city and liquor lobbyists were successful in convincing the voters to narrowly defeat the bill.
