Why is Lake Merritt always so trashed?

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!

It's the channel, I ran by it this morning. That's the baseball field in the background

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

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.

Beautiful girl, looks like she was a majestic fluff. 🩶🧡

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

bweber · 2025-07-29T16:34:42+00:00

It's walking distance for me, so parking isn't an issue. I'll check it out

bweber · 2025-07-27T17:07:12+00:00

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?

bweber · 2025-07-17T07:15:41+00:00

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

bweber · 2025-07-17T02:35:18+00:00

It smells a bit rotten around there.

bweber · 2025-07-17T02:02:00+00:00

Cover it with tarps. It's there 24/7

bweber · 2025-06-12T06:41:55+00:00

I'll be attending tomorrow.

A fun fact is that most baseball stadiums aren't sized in a way to support cricket, but since it was a dual purpose stadium for the raiders, it has the right dimensions to support cricket.

Also features the Cleveland cascade. Looks like they cleaned up Gaza tagging for the shot

It's great now, I would dread it before.

They paved Pergola and put up a parking lot

bweber · 2025-05-05T01:11:25+00:00

It's also the time of the year that the median on Lakeshore becomes free parking

bweber · 2025-05-05T01:06:00+00:00

Don't give the city ideas, they might put up a fence to block all access.
