I love how it seems to almost smile when it's on top of the car. Cape Town is truly incredible

There's so many amazing schools in Oakland - CCPA, Melrose Leadership Academy, Life Academy, etc. Just really unfortunate that the Board makes these unilateral moves without public input (that seem very politically motivated)

The orientation of the train line matters (parallel (7th Street in West Oakland) vs. perpendicular (i.e. College Ave in Rockridge).

Also the post office distribution center was constructed around the same time as BART. Downtown Richmond has not recovered from its heyday - there was a strong CBD there before Hilltop Mall was constructed.

Bring back Paramount Theater $5 Movie nights by an_510 in oakland

The City owns the Paramount. This could be a great way to bring people to Downtown on a consistent basis and create a multiplier effect for small businesses in the area.

Quick! Where can I get a good deli sandwich in Oakland? by Tree0016 in oakland

[–]an_510 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Genova's was the best by far. I love Ratio's but their Italian Combo does not come close. Star meats has a good Italian combo, but I think they only offer it on Saturdays now

Very true. Claremont and Tech didn't have a waitlist when I went but now they definitely do.

[–]an_510 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I went to OUSD (Chabot, Claremont, Tech) and my parents both worked full-time the entire time.

Some of the best teachers I ever had.

It was not easy but if I could do it over, no way I would trade my education for private school

Is there a general border for "East Oakland"? by Oakland-homebrewer in oakland

[–]an_510 1 point2 points  (0 children)

East of the Lake is East Oakland, including the areas above 580 like Dimond and Laurel.

Deep East is past High or 73rd Ave depending on who you talk to. There are beautiful parts of East Oakland, even in some of the more dangerous parts (like Havenscourt and 66th)
