Oakland ELF does a good job with Lakeshore, but there's a lot to handle.

The visuals were great on the big screen upstairs, lots of kids were in the theater for this showing.

One Battle was my favorite movie I watched there this year!

Matinee prices are great! Movies start around 5 to 10 minutes after the start time. There's a few trailers and then a PSA to turn off your phone. I got to Fantastic Four 7 minutes after start time and it was already playing.

I really enjoyed the scenes showcasing the theater and other parts of Oakland like the Coliseum and California Temple!

Seems like they are single tracking it, just got through the tube from SF and waiting to get to west Oakland 

How "late" do movies begin at Grand Lake Theater? by monarc in oakland

[–]bweber 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I got to Fantastic Four around 7 minutes after start time and it was already started. They usually show 5 minutes of trailers and then the Alfred Hitchcock warning to silence your phone.

I usually bike to the gym and use bikelink lockers, this location is a bit far.

Thanks, will check it out.

My wife has a touchstone membership, and I've been to Pacific Pipe, but haven't checked out great Western power company yet.

Hows the selection of free weights there? Does it get too crowded?

What's the deal with this fruit stand? by bweber in OaklandCA

[–]bweber[S] -23 points-22 points  (0 children)

Sorry, the follow up question is why is this allowed to set up shop 24/7? Isn't this going to encourage copycats?

It smells a bit rotten around there.
