		+	Due to strict zoning regulations, Piedmont's businesses are limited and generally concentrated in the city center, across from Piedmont Park, and along Grand Avenue, near the border with Oakland. Shopping options are very limited, but Mulberry's, a general store that sells food items, is a popular stop for students and residents despite the relatively high prices.

		+	The dry season, running from March through early November, is consistently sunny (after the early fog burns off), calm, without rain, but with a maritime moistness in the air. The hottest part of the year is the month before the first rain comes--essentially the month of October. Temperatures can climb to 100 degrees, though typically begin at about 60 (because of fog-cover in the early morning)and climb in the early afternoon. During this period, winds can shift from the typical maritime west to east flow, to "Santa Ana" winds from the hot and dry central valley to the east, flowing west. This is the time of year of greatest fire danger, given the lack of rain and high temperatures.
