An Oakland Citizen: I Had No Idea I Was So Popular
http://anoaklandcitizen.blogspot.com/2010/07/i-had-no-idea-i-was-so-popular.html
Friday, July 9, 2010. I Had No Idea I Was So Popular. I came back to visit Oakland this week after a year away, and people are so excited at my return they're rioting. You like me, you really like me! Certainly, but after a year away when you come back to this, and Nero Dellums shopping while Oakland burns, you can either laugh or cry. I wrote a little more about it here. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Ryan Lochte Robbery Story: Anti-White Racism Masks Police Coverup #LochteGate. Living in the O.

An Oakland Citizen: Send In Your Ballots: No No YES No
http://anoaklandcitizen.blogspot.com/2009/06/send-in-your-ballots-no-no-yes-no.html
Friday, June 26, 2009. Send In Your Ballots: No No YES No. My vote is largely informed by recognizing that Oakland is a) in a big hole and b) shouldn't drive away revenue-generators that will get it out. How much money are we already obligated to spend on youth services? Of course, if you don't have kids or don't plan to live in Oakland when you do, this is also rationally self-interested vote. Finally, a consumption tax. Finally, a good idea! If we tax the transfer of corporate properties (hotels, chain...

Monday, July 13, 2009. Seen at the Grand Parkway. With $2 an Hour Meter Parking Until 8pm, The City Will Finish Destroying Our Shopping District".

An Oakland Citizen: January 2009
http://anoaklandcitizen.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 30, 2009. More Fun Hyperlocal Rockridge Stuff: Pugs and Hummingbirds. I'm thrilled by all the readers who've dropped in and commented so early in my blog's history. I really want to make this more of a local casual blog instead of putting on my Serious Writing Face every time I post, and include. More local Rockridge stuff. Am I the only one who found the Chip Johnson love fest. For Ron Dellums to be a be of a non sequitur? It's certainly positive that the Mayor seems to have turned over ...

An Oakland Citizen: Salman Rushdie is Awesome
http://anoaklandcitizen.blogspot.com/2009/12/salman-rushdie-is-awesome.html
Saturday, December 12, 2009. Salman Rushdie is Awesome. Hello from San Diego! I miss the Bay Area terribly. T minus 45 months and counting. Passing along this East Bay nugget: did you know Cody's Books was firebombed in 1989. Like many Bay Area immigrants for whom history begins somewhere in the 1990s, I had no idea. This happened in response to their carrying the Satanic Verses, in what may very well be "the first act of international terrorism in the United States". Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Thursday, May 28, 2009. The Parkway Is Coming Back! I'm for anything that re-opens. This establishment, having had many fantastic and interesting times. Tuesday, May 12, 2009. Japantown in SF is Nice! My two cents about an article in the Chronicle today, hating on Japantown Center. Is what a dead, drab area looks like. Thursday, May 7, 2009. I felt I must draw attention to the profile picture. That Oaktrooper uses in his/her profile on the Chronicle. Wednesday, May 6, 2009. Oakland CANNOT Cut Police.

An Oakland Citizen: February 2009
http://anoaklandcitizen.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 24, 2009. I'm totally for legalization. But I also emphatically second the statement of James Anthony, who represents legal medical marijuana dispensaries: " Lemon Drop was illegal. It was dangerous and it was undermining the medical cannabis movement. There's no place for that kind of activity in Oakland." What I don't get is why you would start an illegitimate dispensary? In the meantime, support Tom Ammiano's bill. Shooting Suspects in SF Go To Oakland to Escape. And maybe the strang...
