Nostalgic Tour of Old Antioch Riverfront, Surviving Idyllic Delta Oasis
Credit Antioch, one of the older Delta downs of Contra Costa County, for preserving much of town as it was 50 or 75 years ago. No sleek ‘techy’ buildings and concrete jungles here, just old roads and pastoral settings largely unchanged from a slower, more peaceful time. Escape the rat race by visiting the riverfront and Marina in Antioch Ca . CLICK HERE for directions to El Campanil and nearby Riverfront Delta (all within a half mile stretch)
See actual ‘Lodge’ , or, rather, restaurant and bar, still operating on Delta, in next picture –

Humphrey’s restaurant, no longer active but a reminder of good times and the infamous Delta whale who won the hearts of locals. Parked cars belong to people visiting parklands and nearby boating dock
