Sante Adairius Rustic Ales - Oakland Arbor

Hi all,

The bike path still looks okay despite reports from people that it got trashed again. The only thing that came back was a single cardboard box so please do not scare me.

I did some quick sweeping along Broadway and then got rid of some nails and screws from Frontage Rd in Emeryville.

Have a nice rest of your Sunday.

It all feels like a fever dream, but I remember this Asian Health Services building being a two story Chinese Restaurant sometime in the mid to early 2000s as a child.

Does anybody else remember it or have the name of the old restaurant before it? I remember it being two stories with a big grand staircase in the lobby and having a dragon logo where the giant circular sign is.

Hello! This is probably nothing at all. The man seemed to know where he was going and able to ask for directions, but I'm not an expert in recognizing damentia and he was certainly lost/disoriented so I wanted to give a shout in case anyone is looking for this man.

Around 2-2:30pm today wallking on Grand toward the huge circular church, I ran into an elderly asian man, probably 5'2"-5'5" (im a bad judge), wearing all white with a cane (wood I believe).

He asked me for directions to 19th street BART and told me he was going to a food bank when I asked. He had trouble following very simple walking directions (I saw him go one block, get confused and turn early), so I offered to walk him to where the station was visible. We walked, he thanked me, and I went back on my day.

If you happen to be looking for someone that matches that discription you can reach out, though this post does contain most of what I know.

I cleaned up a bike path that was blocked with trash for several days. Took me an hour to clean everything up. Due to circumstances, I decided to take the trash to the dump myself and bite the cost. It has nothing to do with me and Oakland. Our relationship is still good.

Take it easy,

Came back to my friend’s apartment after Decompression last night and we were walking down the street to grab some smokes. We passed by this chopped cheese stall outside a club around 3 in the morning a couple times. I wasn’t hungry at the time but the stand smelled so good, and I need help locating the owner so I can see when I can grab one from him next. The convenience store was a couple blocks down from 17th and broadway.

My hair is long and straight, long layers. I was looking into a few places near downtown/uptown and the estimates were in the range of $170, plus tip. Is this the average price in the area? Thanks!

Great turnout today for the No Kings Vote Early event! We had 40 people who came and went from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Thank you to everyone who came out in the heat, and to those who drove by to honk their support!

Now get out your ballots and VOTE EARLY AT A DROP BOX!!!

hey yall, recently got a serious perrilla oil buckwheat noodle addiction thanks to chez Maeju. I’m considering getting a yugi bowl but since they’re so pricy it’s the type of thing I’d like to buy locally, especially since they’re the type of lifetime heirloom you really want quality.

anyone know of a good place to get them? I don’t believe the store next to Koreana plaza carries them.

I posted a few days ago about visiting for the weekend and y'all recommended El Paisa @.com. Advice taken and you guys weren't kidding! The food was incredible. And I def had to fix my face after that avocado salsa melted it off.

10/10. No notes. If anybody is still sleeping on it, don't.

ETA: Thank you!!

Hi everyone! 🐦❤️ Since I last shared about the pigeons getting trapped in the netting along BART tracks, this issue is unfortunately still ongoing. I’ve started a petition to help protect these birds and bring more attention to this problem. Please take a moment to sign and share it to help spread awareness and push for change. Every signature counts! Thank you all for your support! 🙏💚

Hi Friends
Where can I get meringues? I’d like them to look like the pictured ones so I can make these cupcakes for my kids’ school event. These are from Trader Joe’s which has great reviews but I didn’t see any today.

Thanks!

As a kid in the 90s, I sometimes visited a branch of the Oakland library that has since closed.

It was on a mostly residential street, and I remember the outside looking a lot like a house, possibly in the fairy tale style. I think it was near the Dimond or Lakeshore neighborhoods.

Anyone have an idea of the name of this closed branch? Or resources for photos of the inside and outside? Thanks!

How to take a self-guided tour from the historic site of the party’s free breakfast program to murals, museums, and street signs.

any bars/lounges/clubs in berkeley or oakland with a/c? extra points for a place that is good for 35 yo’s

i need to leave the country for a couple months in order to handle some family business. i can’t pay rent in two places, and i also need a cat-sitter so i want to sublet my apartment with discounted rent for cat-care as many folks do here. i have a few people interested but don’t know how to proceed.

i live in a lapham managed property, and my building manager lives two doors down from me. i normally wouldn’t “ask” for an official sublease but i figured it would be stressful for a prospective subtenant to be discreet when constantly in plain sight of management. my lease says it’s allowed “with permissjon”, and so i did - was told the owners ‘aren’t allowing it’ without further explanation.

the option they gave me was to add the person as a co-tenant and then remove them once im back, however there is no legal way to get them off the lease if they suddenly decide they want to stay, and i risk somebody refusing to leave with no legal grounds to remove them. i asked if they could issue it as a temporary co-tenancy and they refused as well.

so now i feel trapped and exposed because i already asked. i am trying to weigh the risks of just bringing somebody anyway as a “cat sitter” (with the persons am consent of course) or doing the co-tenancy bullshit and trying to create some incentive against them overstaying. the issue is i have limited time and most people are also put off by the idea of a short term tenancy.

anyone have any experience that could be helpful? i’m truly lost

Does anyone have a reccomendation for a person or business that specializes in tuning up and repairing sewing machines?

The only place I could find in Oakland is Grand Lake Sew & Vac, but they have mixed reviews for sewing machine repairs (their reviews for vacuum repairs are great).

Going out of town tomorrow and I was recently paid for a side hustle job in cash. Is there anywhere I can change dollars to mxn pesos in town? I can do it when I get there, but I hate pulling out a stack of cash in a place I’ve never been.

Thanks!

Neighborhood cat recently had a bunch of friendly kittens that could use homes instead of growing up on the street. Message me if you can provide a home!

I’ve been going to the Piedmont Theater for years and each time I go, I’m so grateful there are still classic movie theaters around.

Watched “You Can See Everything” there last night at 7pm and Nathan Fielder has done it again, it’s well made. It’s almost 3 hours long and somehow I still wanted more. Highly recommend seeing it at the Piedmont Theater, or at the Grand Lake. I didn’t forget about the New Parkway, just not sure if it’s showing there. Happy Friday everyone.
