Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 3 May 2004 17:37 (9 years ago) Permalink

Spencer, did you know that Fenton's burned down? My XGF lives right by there and we heard the sirens one night and the cops were there taking the manager and 2 workers away in cuffs in the parking lot while the place erupted in flames despite several firetrucks on the scene (must have been gasoline).

The employees had a rental truck filled with the safe and the jukebox (?).

It reopened after a year but I never went back.

i'm going camping in early june in big basin, want to cap it off w a weekend in oakland. what's a nice hotel / motel / hostel / campground?

the late great, Monday, 13 May 2013 01:54 (1 month ago) Permalink

there's the claremont hotel, but that is super pricey. very nice though. Only hostel I know of is the one at like 14th and Center -- about 7 blocks to West Oakland BART but plenty of street parking.

i would love to stay at the claremont, roll out of bed and pad down to rick and anne's for some red flannel hash. but no, too pricey for me.

the scenic Chaparral Motel, in the heart of the Golden Gate district, at the end of my street

"Turkey In The Straw" coming from someplace in the clouds (Sparkle Motion), Monday, 13 May 2013 19:12 (1 month ago) Permalink

I've always wanted to stay at the Capri Motel on W. Macarthur. I think it has HBO and air conditioning even!

yelp says capri motel closed, but that was a good suggestion!

chaparral motel looks kinda bleak

xp - damn, for years I've wanted to do a road trip and stay at all the Capri Motels

you can't camp in tilden, can you?

well, I imagine you can camp there in the same way as you can camp at the Albany Bulb

Chabot is the main option for family camping in the east bay. I think you have to make a reservation though.

wish I'd know about that sooner, all booked up :-(

"Turkey In The Straw" coming from someplace in the clouds (Sparkle Motion), Tuesday, 14 May 2013 03:29 (1 month ago) Permalink

glenview. my wife and daughter were out for a walk at the time. i think the chase ended in dimond, but i haven't seen any news.

wmlynch, Tuesday, 14 May 2013 04:11 (1 month ago) Permalink

I guess proximity to the 580 can send chases ripping through. hope nobody was hurt

Realistically, w/ all the hype Oakland has been getting, there are no real hotel options beside the Claremont and the downtown Marriot. Best to check Air BnB. From a worldly native.

I got a solid chuckle at the Chaparral Motel recommendation, that place has terrified me for years.
