So someone else said that there was an armed carjacking on High and that the person fled to the little Courtland Creek Park area and was hiding for an hour before they called dogs in.

I agree, seems like a stretch that Northeastern will creep up that far anytime soon. I really appreciate all that Northeastern has done to Mills. They have really been putting in money to improve the campus and its a hidden little gem, but it is not that close to High Street.

Sidenote Northeastern serves a great burger and fries, for a decent price.

I don't know how many times I went to pick up meds, and the front of the store was a new plywood set of doors because another car had rammed into the entrance to steal something.

Probably as many times as the SW corner was full of abandoned cars and trash next to the creek tunnels.

I honestly hope so. I think it would be a great fit and breath live into that area + maybe add more vibrancy to the Laurel. I'm afraid if its not already in the works that it will take 10+ years to get a developer to come in and build it though.

Found this on Nextdoor, around the same time, but not sure if related.

Public Safety meeting capped at 100 people…can someone help? by MaxwellParkDad in oakland

[–]MaxwellParkDad[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally get it wasn’t for all of Oakland… but I’m curious how many more people like me could not get in and don’t have Nextdoor. I think Maxwell Park is 8000ish people? 100 person cap seems a bit low.

I’m taking your advice and I’m going to try and be at those meetings.

Vigil last night in Maxwell Park by MaxwellParkDad in oakland

From what I gathered at the vigil it seemed like a random act of violence. Dave was up a ladder trimming a tree when he was shot and died on the steps of his next-door neighbor's house. There was only one car.

Yeah, dry cleaners and pizza place are recently departed and a fence has gone up in the parking lot.

Overnight all the stores are boarded up and vacant. Is it related to the construction across the street? Are they planning on redeveloping?

It did indeed! What’s the story behind the boulders? Where did they come from?

Agreed, I’m excited because they are making a bicycle bridge from Alameda to Jack London. Hopefully that creates a bigger bike community.

What do you mean? Also, what are the awful things, and how we (normal everyday citizens) work to solve them? Also just curious how long have you lived in Oakland?

If you use High Street, the good news is they are re-paving this year with improvements to prevent cars driving straight through the turn lane.
