Dublin Blvd, Downtown / West Dublin Bart

Amador Plaza Road is another typical shopping plaza area, a standard in this part of the East Bay. Convenience trumps culture, with stores like Target, Toys R Us, and Safeway as the centers of attention. Chipotle and Panera are joined by some slightly nicer Mexican restaurants to round out the dining options here. And here is a genius design idea: because the plazas are OFF the main drag, traffic seems to be far more well-managed.

It is the East Bay, which means that it is blazingly hot here in the summer, but if you are here you will likely be indoors, so who cares? It's not exactly the cultural center of the Bay Area, but it does a good job of doing its job: serving the Dublin population as a competent shopping center.
