Caffè Mediterraneum, often referred to as Caffè Med or simply the Med, is a café located on Telegraph Avenue in Berkeley, California, US, near the University of California, Berkeley.
 The Med is a landmark of Telegraph Avenue history, "listed for years in European guidebooks as 'the gathering place for 1960s radicals who created People's Park' " and as of 2009 described in Fodor's guidebook as "a relic of 1960s-era café culture."

The Jabberwock was an American folk music club and coffeehouse located in Berkeley, California which became among the most popular venues in the area's folk movement thanks to Bill "Jolly Blue" Ehlert.

 The club was particularly frequented by pre-groups formed by future members of Country Joe and the Fish.
 The building was demolished two years after the business's closing in 1967.
Street people are people who live a public life on the streets of a city.
 Street people are frequently homeless, sometimes mentally ill, and often have a transient lifestyle.
 Certain neighborhoods, especially those in neighborhoods near universities, such as Telegraph Avenue in Berkeley, California, The Ave in Seattle, Washington, or the Pearl Street Mall in Boulder, Colorado often host street people.
 They may also frequent bohemian commercial districts such as Colfax Avenue in Denver.
 Individual street people may be familiar figures to the entire community.
Shattuck Avenue is a major city street running north-south through Berkeley, California and Oakland, California.
 At its southern end, the street branches from Telegraph Avenue in Oakland's Temescal district, then ends at Indian Rock Park in the Berkeley Hills to the north.
 Shattuck Avenue is the main street of Berkeley, forming the spine of that city's downtown, and the site of the Gourmet Ghetto in North Berkeley.
 The street was named for Francis Kittredge Shattuck, an early landowner and booster who later served as Mayor of Oakland.
 Shattuck was largely responsible for the original construction of the road as well as for a railroad built along its route.
Art Murmur is a night of open galleries held the first Friday of each month primarily in the Uptown, Koreatown/Northgate, downtown, and Jack London neighborhoods of Oakland, California, drawing 25,000 people.
 The event began in 2006 at the intersection of 23rd Street and Telegraph Avenue.
 In 2012, the street festival component was taken over by local community groups and the City of Oakland, becoming the "Oakland First Fridays″ street festival along Telegraph Avenue.
 The Oakland Art Murmur organization has since refocused its energies as a community of diverse art spaces throughout the City of Oakland, offering additional programming such as a weekly Saturday Stroll art walk and monthly guided walking tours.

 The festival underwent a funding crisis in 2011.
 The festival was originally funded by the Temescal Telegraph Business Improvement District, who had to redistribute funding to other projects.

 They successfully raised the money to fund the 2012 season.
 In 2011, the festival was voted "Best Local Film Festival" in the Readers' Choice Poll in "East Bay Express".
