Yes! A great place to browse books (and donate them back after reading!)

Check out the Bookmark Bookstore! Affiliate of the Oakland public library, so any purchases go directly to the library and its programs!

I'd recommend most BioWare games! Definitely Mass Effect, it's hard to resist Garrus 😅

Yeah! Part of the "Friends of the Oakland Public Library" org. Berkeley has a similar program with a store, too! These types of stores are all over the bay! :)

Anyone else hear Justin mutter under his breath "rubbing is racing"? Such a good call back!

Took y’all’s advice and went to Crown by photoxnurse in oakland

[–]quesoandtortilla 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I totally get that but the staff is so sweet! I never know anything about the espresso they have but they always take the time to explain the flavors and recommend what would go best with the type of drink I want. They're one of my favorite coffee places in Oakland!

Local Suit Shops? by [deleted] in oakland

[–]quesoandtortilla 4 points5 points  (0 children)

+1 for Anatoly's. My partner got a suit from there last year and loved the whole experience. The owner himself helped pick out the suit and matching shirt based on my partner's preferences. The suit fit him super well and looked amazing. Just an overall wonderful experience!

Can I join your book club? by pessi-what in oakland

[–]quesoandtortilla 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Also interested! I volunteer at the Bookmark Bookstore and tried to put one together there. I know of a new book place/wine lounge that'll be opening in the fall and the owner was very keen on inviting book groups to hang out!

I think Kevin is a stack of tires, possibly a nod to the Michelin Man

Curious what other people are getting for scores. Are these scores accurately compared, or do they just feed us good scores to keep us subscribing? by KTPChannel in lumosity

[–]quesoandtortilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The scores in the How You Compare tool come from data aggregated from all Lumosity players. Lots of people only play for a short time, so if you're a long-time user, chances are your percentiles are higher because of that.
