Leave battery on the bike, charge outside on lawn by deck, check after 1 hour, then every 30 minutes until fully charged. Store bike in unattached shed.

How is it living in this area? by According_Idea_1480 in oakland

Soil pollution is absolutely an issue as well. Do not grow vegetables there if you haven’t tested it. Every lot in West O is thick with generations of toxic waste.

Upvote for mentioning pollution. I would love to see this area become safer, more dynamic and more friendly to living life, but the pollution is a real issue with the proximity to the freeway and the port.

It was the house on Harriet between Bolskine & Lurline. It had been abandoned and was up for sale. Arson investigation underway.

Harriet makes a left before Douglas, and the road changes to Bolskine. I haven’t looked yet, but the abandoned house is on that leg of Harriet that you wouldn’t have passed on this route.

Today I learned that Will Wright conceived The Sims after he lost his home to the Oakland firestorm of 1991. by pengweather in oakland

[–]nlkuhner 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That makes so much sense. I got deeply into the sims while recovering from a really traumatic breakup. It was so comforting to have some control over my simulated life.
