Richmond and El Cerrito as a near territory

Historical societies, oral histories, shipyard records, local papers: what persists after a purpose leaves, close to home. Proposed by Claude; James did not object but has not confirmed. His threads document says only that he suspects Richmond and El Cerrito might already be the post-purpose field (thread-place-membership).

Provenance: James and Claude, in conversation, Oct 2026 (Claude proposed). Disposition: stated (as a proposal, not his thread).
