Emeryville

Bay Area city

Emeryville is a small city in California's Bay Area, wedged between Oakland and Berkeley along the San Francisco Bay.

Once an industrial hub, it transformed into a commercial and biotech center, now home to Pixar Animation Studios.

We drove through Emeryville on the way to the bridge.
