The Annual Troop 11's Christmas Tree Pick Up has been a tradition for 41 years and started as an Eagle Project by Hal Zecher Jr. Troop 11 scouts will be picking up the trees which will be taken to the Alameda Point Collaborative and chipped by Bakin Tree Service to used as mulch by APC. Call the tree pick up hotline at 703-9581 to arrange for your tree to be recycled for a good cause. Cost is still $5.00.

Thanks for sharing this with our readers! Hope these pups get their much-needed exercise :)

I agree. An embedded link would be better. For those who don't copy and paste, here's a shorter link…Read More to the PSBA website: www.ShopParkStreet.com/news

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.......

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.

First I think its really sad how people can be really mean to each other just voicing opinions.…Read More
Secondly Webster is known as "that other side of Alameda" wether you want to admit it or not. Im sure a few folks are going to make comments to that that wont be nice. Webster has be the low priority vs. for a long time. The money HAS gone to Park st. and South Shore.
Im sure once Target moves in we will get some chain store in that mall its inevitable. Will it change the fact that Webster is left behind? Most likly not.

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!)
Analisa Harangozo (Editor) May 21, 2013 at 09:45 am
My apologies for these issues. Our tech support is working the best they can to get these fixed…Read More ASAP.

As a parent I do find it may be creepy or disturbing however you all can't jump to conclusions the…Read More person is doing anything wrong or illegal. I only threw out possibilities as maybe the person being under surveillance could be bad people and this is a person building a case against them. It's also possible that he's a creeper. We don't know. All I'm saying is go the proper channels or else things can really go bad. That's all.

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.

They were open today. Mysteriously when I went in to see if I had any money on my account they…Read More claimed they had no record of my even having an account there. I don't know what's up with them.
Kimberlee MacVicar May 17, 2013 at 02:36 pm
Thanks for the info about your experience. I'm starting to hear the same story from about 7 people…Read 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.
bette page May 20, 2013 at 11:11 am
They are not open yet. Based on the signage I am assuming that it will be an Asian bakery.
