Craig, who said anything about exhibitionists? I said one couple was "amorous," but thatRead More doesn't mean they were "near-sex making out" or anything else inappropriate or even bordering on it. I couldn't see *exactly* what they were doing, and I don't care. From my vantage point, it appeared that they were lying on a blanket, cuddling, talking, sleeping whatever. There were other in the vicinity--it was a warm Saturday afternoon--and no one else seemed to be paying attention to their behavior. The other couples he was spying on were all just sitting or lying together on their blankets. I get that it's probably not "illegal," which is why I haven't called the police, and I would never consider calling 911 for this matter--so that's why you should "believe" I "haven't already," Reeko. I don't think "daring to go out in public" means that you should be subjected to this behavior. Turnstile, I just may do that. I was toying with the idea, but my phone camera isn't very good. Who's to say he doesn't have a camera, too? Let's be clear here...this is not a guy just "out on the beach" with binoculars. I was also wondering when someone would be silly enough to ask why I was "watching him." I'm in my home, and I can see him very plainly from all of my windows and balconies--I'm not creeping on him. If I inadvertently see a guy crouching in the bushes watching people with binoculars, it's going to capture my attention. THOMAS PEREZ, I'm not even going to justify your comment with a response--though I've got a great one queued up--other than to LOL and move on. Please answer me this...why doesn't this guy just go out on the beach and openly sit near them or stand next to them and blatantly watch them? Good grief...I guess when one posts a question in a public forum, one must expect the requisite ignorant responses.

Police! Can't believe you haven't already.
Turnstile May 20, 2013 at 06:51 am
Not sure if this is legal but can you take a picture of him and post it here for all to see?
Ben Newman May 20, 2013 at 09:45 am
So let me get this straight Anna, you'll go to Emeryville 16, and take your business to the massiveRead More chains located around it like Barnes and Nobles, Fudruckers, etc and then you bemoan the small businesses on Park Street that close? Sounds like you're throwing the baby out with the bathwater because what someone wrote in the local newspaper hurt your sensibilities.

I lived on the West End twenty years ago, and lived there when the base closed. It's much betterRead More than it was, with more inviting places (to me anyway) than before. I drove down Broadway in Oakland today and the City has added some really nice hanging flower baskets. They are going to look spectacular later this summer. Maybe the City could do something like that on Webster. As if they have extra money for stuff like that, but one can hope. The baskets are up high so they are beyond the reach of ordinary vandals.

I'm so glad he hadn't wandered away! I bike home from the ferry along Santa Clara and I kept an eyeRead More out for him. Sounds like he had himself a nice time, the cheeky monkey!
Analisa Harangozo (Editor) May 17, 2013 at 05:51 pm
Yay! I'm glad! Thanks for the update Suzanne.
Suzanne Chenier May 17, 2013 at 05:48 pm
Found!!! He followed me into my downstairs neighbor's house. I went to borrow some eggs. My neighborRead More was at work. I didn't know he followed me in, didn't see or hear him, got the eggs and left. I called that brat for over three hours. He raided my neighbor's garbage can and a bachelor nap on his sofa! Yay. I'm glad he's home and safe. Thank you everyone.

Really? "Poopsie"? Besides that gripe, it makes me sad that we have no beach front thatRead More the dogs can go onto.
Jenna May 19, 2013 at 08:48 pm
I absolutely wish we had some beach frontage in Alameda for the dogs to enjoy the water, but no wayRead More would I take them onto the beach when it's not allowed. The signage is perfectly clear and the fine is probably several hundred dollars.Instead we head up to Point Isabel or Albany Bulb. I've counted 25 dogs in the water on a really nice day at Point Isabel. We're going to Disneyland!

Good point, Gevin! Forgot about the dog park!! Recently a woman with a big, off-leash Rott stoodRead More by and watched him take a huge dump at the water's edge, then she continued on her way without cleaning it up. The park police got here in time and paid her a visit, and she was none to happy about that...made my day. Unfortunately, a family with 2 little kiddos set up their blanket right in front of the Rottie's toilet spot shortly after she walked away, and I'm sure the kids were all over it. The no-dogs allowed ruling was probably inspired, at least in part, by irresponsible pet owners like her.

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

Thanks for the info about your experience. I'm starting to hear the same story from about 7 peopleRead More now and I'm sure there are more. Store has been closed all week. Still no sign on the door. At a loss as to what to do to find out what's going on or what to do next.

Good luck with that. I stopped patronizing them a year ago after some shifty practices with my highRead More end items: wouldn't give me a receipt and then my items sat untagged for three weeks. Completely missed the xmas shopping season.

They are not open yet. Based on the signage I am assuming that it will be an Asian bakery.

It is really dangerous coming out of the dog park/tennis court parking lot. We never try to turnRead More left coming out of it, always right - and even then you have to be super careful because cars just come speeding down the street.
