Newsy Notes
OK folks, time to get up and out for the long awaited “unveiling” of Uptown – this event will rock your socks off – historic architecture and new green buildings, rockin’ music and swinging salsa, great food from fabulous restaurants, community love and last but not least, skating lessons on Oakland’s solar-powered skate rink. And who was it who was asking me what was a good reason to come to Oakland???
More info can be found here, download the map and music schedule – there are no less than four stages set up!
Also, those of you who have been freting over the unexplained disappearance of Black Oak Books in North Shattuck, Berkeley, don’t fear – I went to their warehouse on San Pablo Avenue (not far from a new Italian restaurant opened by the owners of Sea Salt, and Mignonne Decor’s new locations) and they were still buying books and organizing their old ones. As they shift into a new form I’ll keep you updated, but they are far from going away gone forever…
