@Anna, your comments about going to the AMC in Emeryville is just dumb! Think about all the time youRead More spend in traffic, gas, parking and the $ you spend at the chain stores on Bay St ... all of which are probably better off being spent right here. I would imagine somebody living "paycheck to paycheck" (your exact words) would be a lot more conscious in how they spend their $ ... apparently not.

My Dad was at the Naval Air Station (NAS) Alameda from 1940 to 1970. I was born in AlamedaRead More Hospital in 1956 so I have seen Webster in its many stages over the years. For many years it had businesses catering to sailors. Many bars etc... I think Cafe Jolie and Wes Cafe both do a lot for Webster and I hope more businesses like theirs start to populate the street.

Y'know, Anna, I certainly sympathize with your, well, nostalgia. But thinking about it, it occurs toRead More me that were I a younger, more entrepreneurial-oriented type, and wanted to start a local retail type of business, a franchise of some sort would be a relatively low-risk mode of entry, as opposed to starting all over from scratch myself. I was surprised, for example, to find that the calendar and tzotchke store in the mall that was open for about two months last year was a franchise. I believe SubPar Golf is a franchise. That's kinda the way "starting a business" works these days. Not that something isn't lost, but that's always the case. I would also point out, at the risk of being contentious, the several new establishments that have *opened* on Park St. in the past few years, restaurants like Angela's, the kids-supplies stores, as well as the local chains (dunno how you feel about those) like Red Onion and Burgermeister. And that's just off the top of my head. "Life is change, how it differs from the rocks" — Jefferson Airplane said that.

It took about 12 attempts over 2 days to post the above LWV of Alameda event--a task that used toRead More take me 30 minutes or less, including uploading photos, editing and proofreading the copy on Patch.com. etc. Using my Apple mac Book Pro I could not even post the event using Safari 5.1.9. Using Chrome I finally posted the event but it is ugly--there is no way to remove the undesired returns, spaces, and gaps that Patch.com put there. (I never did.) Patch is losing me--fast.

That's what i thought LIONS MANE. I asked you a several legitimate questions and you dodged them.Read More Mainly your accusation about what this person will do next. How do you know what this person is going to do other then what you conjured and fabricated in your own mind. Your on a witch hunt and god protect anyone from you being convicted in a jury trial. L.M. i'm not meaning to attack you personally. I don't know who this "creeper" is. Who knows, maybe he's writing a report on the lecherous activities being conducted on the beach. I've dealt with people that fabricate facts is why your post intrigued my attention. I enjoy inciting debate. I rest my case....Have a great day......

Lions Mane needs a career or children since her marriage turned out to be such a dissapointment.
Allison Martin May 20, 2013 at 04:29 pm
Everyone jumped on this one huh? I think it was the word "creeper" that attractedRead More attention to it, it did to me anyway. I wouldn't do anything yourself, Lion, if you feel uncomfortable with this guy then by all means call the police non-emergency number and let them handle it. You'll be better off by not responding to all the negative posts too.

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!
Lion's Mane May 18, 2013 at 03:31 pm
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.
