When people move into a new area, they make transport decisions and establish new transport habits. Those habits stick. That’s why the old way of developing suburbs of houses with the promise that local community facilities (schools, libraries, etc) and public transport will come later sets us up for ongoing car dependency. We’d never dream of letting housing estates be built without car infrastructure. Why do we allow them to be built without active transport, social, health, and commercial infrastructure?

We personally believe that stories matter - and it is the reason we started mindsyndicate (now years ago), and why we have also gone down the path of trying to renovate and preserve two unique properties here in the Golden State. Under Petralogix Holding LLC, we have been fortunate enough to acquire the famous "Lockeford Meat Market" in downtown Lockeford (CA), as well as a portion of the Old Howard Ranch in Clements (CA). Lockeford (and Clements too, but to a lesser extent) was one of the most important towns around in those early days of California, as it was a major artery to the Gold Rush venue. Dr. Locke had the dare to run a 100+ foot river steam boat all the way up the Mokelumne River to Lockeford from around 1860 to 1865. At that time, very wet winters conditions aligning year after year create a 12 foot deep,1/2 mile wide river capable of allow for the deepest inland shipping route ever known in California. When those unseasonably wet winters turned back to a drier time, the steam ships stopped, and it was sunk to the bottom of the river where it still sleeps today. Check out more of the story here (https://lnkd.in/g5R6pWM3) For these projects - We have been working in close conjunction with the County, and more recently EBMUD, to convert and then preserve into perpetuity 30 acres of Oak Woodland and improve Salmon Spawning Habitat along the Mokelumne River, as well as bring back to life the Old Building originally built by Dr. Locke for his son, and design by the famous architect Charles Beasley. We personally believe that preservation of these key resources is critical to the history and future of our beautiful State of California. I would love to discuss our projects with any and all that may have ambitions to preserve and protect iconic locations throughout the State, or Country - so feel free to reach out with questions on how we did it. There will be of the story to share, and more to come on these projects in the future months and years ahead, so stay tuned. Please share the story to see if we can get more people into this route - the resources are there for people willing to put in the foot work. Below is a quick picture of what is now named "The Lockeford Emporium" - which is one of only 35 buildings within San Joaquin County that are on the State Registry. In the near future, we will be doing a meet and great fundraiser for additional renovations - with BBQ tri-tip, a tour, and live music. DM me for additional information on this if interested in coming out :)
