I went to Tommy's once but it was PACKED and so we left, sadly. It looked like fun inside.

The Gingerbread House... I've never been there; I think they have super weird hours, like "Every other Thurs from 3-8pm" or something...

Andy, I am thinking about going this weekend. Any dishes that you would recommend?

that diner has a train. that's kind of the only thing I really like about it though.

― kyle (akmonday), Monday, 3 January 2005 01:09 (nineteen years ago) link

That's pretty much the only thing to like about it.

A friend of ours who owns a house in West Oakland heard gunshots last month and later found out there was a shooting in the house over the street. Then a week later, they heard gunshots in the house NEXT DOOR and it turns out that a 15 year-old girl had witnessed the first shooting, so they broke into her house and shot her through the hand and the foot in retaliation.

He's thinking of selling.

― Airtube (nordicskilla), Friday, 1 April 2005 20:44 (nineteen years ago) link

That's a weird way of retaliating. I would think KILLING her would be a more effective way of preventing further witnessing on her part. Of course I am no expert.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 1 April 2005 20:47 (nineteen years ago) link

Really?

― Airtube (nordicskilla), Friday, 1 April 2005 20:48 (nineteen years ago) link

Yeah, I can't remember the last time I had to silence a witness.

Dude, buy his house. I bet he'll sell cheap.

Alex can help you intimidate the neighborhood.

― M. White (Miguelito), Friday, 1 April 2005 22:49 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm broke.

It's a really nice house though! And it doesn't SEEM like such a bad area.

― Airtube (nordicskilla), Friday, 1 April 2005 22:49 (nineteen years ago) link

Where is it?

― M. White (Miguelito), Friday, 1 April 2005 22:53 (nineteen years ago) link

West Oakland

"Alex can help you intimidate the neighborhood."

Yeah rumor has it that certain people consider me to be a bit of a douche.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 1 April 2005 23:25 (nineteen years ago) link

Ha ha, and he owns that word too.

― M. White (Miguelito), Friday, 1 April 2005 23:26 (nineteen years ago) link

I think I may get a t-shirt with that on it now actually.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 1 April 2005 23:28 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm a Douche and I'm Proud!

― M. White (Miguelito), Friday, 1 April 2005 23:29 (nineteen years ago) link

Now wait, I just a "bit of a douche". Don't get it twisted.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 1 April 2005 23:31 (nineteen years ago) link

Tad Douche-ish I'd say.

― M. White (Miguelito), Friday, 1 April 2005 23:38 (nineteen years ago) link

Douchesque is more elegant, no?

― M. White (Miguelito), Friday, 1 April 2005 23:38 (nineteen years ago) link

A wee taste of the ol' douche is how my Irish ma used to describe me.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 1 April 2005 23:39 (nineteen years ago) link

"This architechure is positively douchesque."

― Claude in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 1 April 2005 23:40 (nineteen years ago) link

Yes, Claude it fairly reeks of vinegar.

― M. White (Miguelito), Friday, 1 April 2005 23:44 (nineteen years ago) link

"Tad Douche"
I hate that guy!

An Oakland man, after enduring harassment from drug dealers for years, decides to 'take my safety in my own hands' and shoots an attacker

Standing his ground endangers man's life
Despite flood of support, he says he'll move

West Oakland isn't no place for wusses!

Oakland, like the rest of the Bay area is long past its prime.

So when I go to Mets-A's in mid-June, I should do the same as five years ago and not see anything but the ramp leading to the Coliseum?

Unless of course the East Bay Rats are having a Fight Party that weekend:
