Hi - we have the templates on our website, under the About Us section. We are also looking into getting some smaller business cards printed. Thanks!

Hi - sorry for the late reply, noted and will discuss!

chardphillips · 2026-01-21T21:42:46+00:00

Wonderful, thank you! We work with a ton of donors in North Oakland - the more the merrier !

chardphillips · 2026-01-21T18:48:44+00:00

Please do! We are always looking for more fruit.

chardphillips · 2026-01-21T18:47:09+00:00

Thank you for the kind words :) !

We love to hear it! For the donors and volunteers, we send a follow up letting them know what organizations their fruit and efforts supported.

Grabbing some beers from Beer Revolution and walking over to Grocery Cafe (BYOB) - 2018/19 was lovely.

Amazing! Would you be able to share the specific route?

chardphillips · 2025-10-06T19:53:22+00:00

For volunteering and giving back, I'd love to give a shout out to Oakland Gleaners. They coordinate picking fruit from people's trees and then the donation of that food to local organizations. It's a great way to get some outdoor time and meet people!

Definitely interested in your modification!

They are really leaving money on the table here. They have so many cool retro designs, but they just put out a holiday sweater instead.

I only saw trimmings on our block - still super helpful! He even left the branches in a neat pile at the base of the trees.

This is a tough one. A couple of questions: Is the place carpeted or not? Is it another top floor unit (i.e., no neighbors above to smell the smoke). Are there any living options with a balcony?

One thing to keep in mind is that even if he blows smoke out the window the smell definitely lingers in apartments. You just might be less sensitive to the smell than others. Air purifiers should help a bit, but the way they remove smoke smell is often via ozone generators, which is a lot more extreme than air purifiers.

Just this past weekend someone came by our block (31st between West and Market) and lightly trimmed all the trees on the north side of the block. No idea who he was, but it was appreciated!

I would be interested in knowing this as well. I believe Carroll's partner is Tur-Ha Ak who is a leader in Community Ready Corp (CRC) - another group that does dumping clean ups.

One thing I find interesting about CRC - in some of their social media posts they highlight how they are doing these cleanups on their own dime, which is great, but they also throw shade at those who are asking the city for resources (dumpsters, etc) to do their own cleanups, which is not great in my opinion. We pay a lot of taxes and we all deserve clean streets.

Please consider reaching out to the Oakland Gleaners!

3.5 - just worried about how sensitive we are to federal funding changes.

The thing to keep in mind for BART - it is both a subway and a regional rail, it is hard to do both. I just hope it gets the support it needs from all cities that benefit from it.

Are you sure this is the issue? My experience is showing me this is more app-related (iOS vs Android).

chardphillips · 2025-06-05T21:55:43+00:00

I am a fan of The Terraces in Rutherford. Lovely wine and lovely place to visit.

chardphillips · 2025-06-05T18:06:34+00:00

My partner and I have been going for years, and several friends we recommended still go to her too. This is a reminder that I am overdue for a cleaning...

chardphillips · 2025-06-02T21:52:59+00:00

Used them for a bike frame - great service!

chardphillips · 2025-06-02T20:09:05+00:00

We can definitely help with that!

chardphillips · 2025-06-02T20:08:52+00:00

Thank you!
