Emeryville (http://www.ci.emeryville.ca.us) is a small city on the San Francisco Bay that acts as a gateway to the East Bay from San Francisco. It exists at the intersection of three major freeways: I-80, I-580, and I-880.
Emeryville is going through a period of aggressive re-development started during the 1990s and 2000s, where industrial factories and warehouses are being replaced by modern retail and residential uses. Much of this was spurred by anti-development policies in neighbors such as Berkeley and Oakland.
The city is also known for its IKEA store and tech companies, such as Pixar studios. The city is featured on a map in the film "The Incredibles" with actual street names.
