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:

No, I was deputized to work the door at the Ruby Room because they were understaffed. A tough guy hiphop dude didn't want to leave so we escorted him out. No blood, no throw-downs, just a pressing, insistent drive out the door.

(This is only two block from the jail where they incarcerated Huey! Oakland! Oakland!)

The Dead are in town again?

― [jailhouse tattoo] (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 20 December 2005 19:01 (7 years ago) Permalink

The Dead used to play all the time at Henry J Kaiser, across the street from aforementioned courthouse. It's weird, because it's not a ginormous place. I guess they weren't so popular after all.

― andy --, Tuesday, 20 December 2005 19:02 (7 years ago) Permalink

Should I move to Oakland? Can I get a 2bed in a non-sketchy area?

The eternal question.

― [jailhouse tattoo] (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 20 December 2005 19:03 (7 years ago) Permalink

and before kyle posts here, I don not consider Grand/Lake sketchy.

― [jailhouse tattoo] (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 20 December 2005 19:04 (7 years ago) Permalink

Grand Lake or rockridge are fine...

I've lived in Downtown since '98 and I've only been mugged once.

― andy --, Tuesday, 20 December 2005 19:05 (7 years ago) Permalink

Are there actually rentals in Rockridge proper? I like it there, but to actually LIVE there? Not so sure.

Or do you mean Piedmont?

Is it shameful to covet this? I always see it from the freeway!

I can't afford it anyway.

I've been there, they're nice. that one is nicer than the one I was in

No, I was deputized to work the door at the Ruby Room because they were understaffed

is the Ruby Room fun again? because it was when it opened and then it fucking sucked for a long time.

― kyle (akmonday), Tuesday, 20 December 2005 19:26 (7 years ago) Permalink

that's not too expensive, but take it from me. don't live in a loft. i totally miss doors

― jaxon (jaxon), Tuesday, 20 December 2005 19:28 (7 years ago) Permalink

that is actually really cheap for that loft, I'm surprised.

― kyle (akmonday), Tuesday, 20 December 2005 19:29 (7 years ago) Permalink

i'm a bit disappointed that this thread has turned into yuppies talking about loft prices.

― nein Socken (nein Socken), Tuesday, 20 December 2005 19:32 (7 years ago) Permalink

eh, it's alright. It was bumping last night with buzzed Cal girls.

By far Oakland's greatest asset (which I recently discovered) is Joaquin Miller Park, right above the Mormon Temple. Dense redwood forests, WPA bridges, it's the lovliest place I've found. And you'll see barely a soul, Tilden is packed with North Face kooks but JMiller park is always empty.
