Smart Alec's Intelligent Food

While these spots do not exist in the Telegraph area anymore, their greatness will not be forgotten by those who appreciated and loved their presence.

Here are some UC Berkeley nightmares that just might come true on this superstition-laden day.

For the average UC Berkeley student, the clusters of street vendors that line Telegraph Avenue are a familiar sight: collections of tie-dye T-shirts and woven bracelets adorning tables at nearly every corner.

Sockshop, a local footwear boutique popular among tourists in Berkeley, closed last month to the surprise of many Telegraph Avenue shoppers.

After serving healthy fast food to the Berkeley community for over two decades, Smart Alec’s Intelligent Food on the corner of Durant and Telegraph avenues permanently shut its doors Monday.

While Berkeley’s City Council unanimously passed a city ordinance Tuesday night to raise the minimum wage, some local businesses are concerned for the future.
