I never knew Bill and Hillary Clinton lived in Berkeley! But apparently so-- excerpted from Ms. Clinton's biography:

Bill and I shared a small apartment near a big park not far from the University of California at Berkeley campus where the Free Speech Movement started in 1964. I spent most of my time working for Mal Burnstein researching, writing legal motions and briefs for a child custody case. Meanwhile, Bill explored Berkeley, Oakland and San Francisco. On weekends, he took me to the places he had scouted, like a restaurant in North Beach or a vintage clothing store on Telegraph Avenue. I tried teaching him tennis, and we both experimented with cooking. I baked him a peach pie, something I associated with Arkansas, although I had yet to visit the state, and together we produced a palatable chicken curry for any and all occasions we hosted. Bill spent most of his time reading and then sharing with me his thoughts about books like To the Finland Station by Edmund Wilson. During our long walks, he often broke into song, frequently crooning one of his Elvis Presley favorites.

This is sometime in the early 70's.

Where exactly is this? I'd bet that she's talking about the park at Hillegass. It's big, it's closer to campus then any other I could think of, it's walking distance from Telegraph. Interestingly, Patty Hearst was kidnapped from an apartment right next to that park, as well. Email This Post!
