Will definitely bring some books over, we have so many still from when my son was young.

I live on Webster/Crab Cove - love it - and also try to do a lot to get neighbors going and…Read More improving neighborhoods so that people thrive - no matter their income. I find that, too often, folks who've lived in Alameda for thirty years and more NEVER come to the West End. Never! More likely that West Enders go to East End but there's a huge divide. For example, half the folks working on the Neptune Beach Project don't know where Neptune Beach is, or Crab Cove.
A start would be getting folks to "mingle" more, learn more about their neighbors, other parts of the island, etc.
Target - well, I can't get behind that being the savior of West End. Or all the ticky tacky "development" that's going on all over the island but especially in West End. City and planners lack imagination about what could happen across the island.
You can help by getting involved. And start by coming to the Farmers Market tomorrow, Saturday, and meeting with neighbors via the Raising Sand kiosk. This is an effort to engage residents across their usual boundaries. Be great to see you there.

Gevin: You're right; Webster Street could use more diverse restaurants. When will you be opening…Read More one?
As for Asian restaurants, note the huge Asian population in Alameda. I don't see any of the Asian restaurants closing anytime soon.
And I pray Jamba Juice, et al. never bring down the mom and pop feeling of Webster. The chain restaurants closer East Webster are enough to satisfy the fast food junkies in our area.

Anna Marie-you really owe it to yourself and the Alameda planning department to go to the Alameda…Read More Theater. They really did do a great job restoring the historic theater. I still remember taking my little kids there on opening day to celebrate all the hard work and it still gives me goosebumps. It really is a beautiful building. I think they incorporated the new theaters in a way that doesn't detract from the historic theater. The fact that my kids, now older, can walk there and meet their friends for a truly home town theater experience makes it all better.

We have dogs of all shapes and sizes - big, little, active, and couch potatoes! They all love the…Read More company of volunteers. And, of course, we need cat volunteers too! Check out the FAAS website at www.AlamedaAnimalShelter.org to find out how to become a volunteer.

What is this, circa 1998? Haven't you folks heard of embedded links?

Was so happy to see Chestnut Encinal reopen with much fresher produce, looks cleaner, and as Carol…Read More Parker said, good prices. You can zip in and out, no long lines, parking lot, all good.
Carol Parker May 21, 2013 at 06:10 pm
A friend and I took a peek in there today. It looks nice. I liked the fact that they have made to…Read More order deli sandwiches for under $7 and some premade salads you can pick up on the go. The meat looked good too. I was very pleased that the prices were comparable to Safeway, not 7-11 as I had assumed.

I'm more concerned, myself, about traffic light/stop sign violations. Speeding doesn't seem, to me,…Read More to be that widespread, although, yeah, it's hard to keep discipline on Fernside, which, let's face it, is a "boulevard". That really ought to be addressed, tho, maybe a couple of stop signs to break it up. I'm a fan of those "your speed is..." signs, it's my observation that most "passive" speeders just need to be reminded to slow down a bit. Works for me, anyway. ;-)

I've heard there aren't enough police anymore. We live on Fernside and cars FLY by at very high…Read More spees. When we first moved here six years ago there were cops with radar on Fernside all the time. I haven't seen one there in over four years. Folks also try to miss the High Street traffic and they cut through back side streets at very high speeds. Side streets where kids are playing all the time. It's very dangerous. I wish folks would think first; will it really be worth saving 30-60 seconds if you end up killing a child? Be courteous, be safe. Even 25 on the side streets is way too fast.

I've bought steak from them a few years back, they were good steaks. They generally approach people…Read More they see out and about. If you are unsure of them, just ask for a price list to keep. They have them printed up, and it has their contact info. Not sure if they have a business license to operate in Alameda though.......

The new structure is less appealing to read. Feels disjointed. I was hoping I would adjust but not…Read More so.

The web site is still jerking around. I am not sure why various institutions like to change their…Read More web sites, when they are already working just fine. But I have a bigger gripe. Sometimes, it is the case that automobile makers have a VERY BEAUTIFUL automobile design, but after a few years, they abandon the design, and the result is the same model but with a much uglier design. (Everybody will have their own favorite example of this!)

Micah, Crown Beach is operated by the Park District under a cooperative agreement with the State of…Read More California and City of Alameda. Other than Crown Beach, I would think there is shoreline on Alameda Point that could be made available. Still it's worth asking the city government. They have made it possible to have two dog parks, when there were none.
Micah Pearlman May 22, 2013 at 09:02 pm
What would be the process for petitioning the city govt to allow a small area for dogs to swim?

Alameda Police Havier Quintero beat me up on December 16, 1990 and he gut away with this.
