Love it!

you are very welcome! i also started a new blog on the patch to give a volunteer's perspective ofRead More working with our dogs and of course, i post lots of great candid shots of them just being... well, dogs! :p
Analisa Harangozo (Editor) May 21, 2013 at 04:06 pm
Thanks for sharing this with our readers! Hope these pups get their much-needed exercise :)
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 toRead 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.
Analisa Harangozo (Editor) May 21, 2013 at 04:05 pm
Thanks for the tip, Tom!
Jeff Mark May 22, 2013 at 02:33 pm
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. ;-)
HappyAlamedan May 22, 2013 at 10:06 am
I've heard there aren't enough police anymore. We live on Fernside and cars FLY by at very highRead 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.
a94501er May 21, 2013 at 02:10 pm
Not sure about the 35 mph, but lots of cars jump the traffic light at Webster/Stargell as they comeRead More flying out of the tunnel. Perhaps a camera might help nab the offenders!
Maria May 21, 2013 at 09:54 am
Um, I was told by one of these guys the steaks are from a well-known steak restaurant. Pretty muchRead More admitted they are "hot".
Jasmine Tokuda May 21, 2013 at 09:35 am
I've bought steak from them a few years back, they were good steaks. They generally approach peopleRead 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.......
Jana Saastad May 22, 2013 at 05:09 pm
Gevin: You're right; Webster Street could use more diverse restaurants. When will you be openingRead 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.
AlamedaMama May 22, 2013 at 09:40 am
Anna Marie-you really owe it to yourself and the Alameda planning department to go to the AlamedaRead 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.
quietneeded May 21, 2013 at 12:07 pm
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.
Jane Griswold May 21, 2013 at 12:24 pm
The new structure is less appealing to read. Feels disjointed. I was hoping I would adjust but notRead More so.
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 fixedRead More ASAP.
anthony May 21, 2013 at 06:05 am
it's a public notice not War and Peace...your convoluted attempt of the LWV notification, andRead More especially your criticism of the forum, both poorly represent the LWV. Aside from the embedded link to your site what is really needed?
Allen S. May 22, 2013 at 03:08 pm
As a parent I do find it may be creepy or disturbing however you all can't jump to conclusions theRead 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.
Jenna May 22, 2013 at 10:46 am
Well said HappyAlamedan. Every female I know can recount multiple instances of "unwantedRead More attention". I know I can. Parents, sign your young girls up for martial arts. They will be dealing with unwanted attention their entire lives.
HappyAlamedan May 22, 2013 at 10:25 am
Goodness people, really? You all take it too far. No one talked about calling 911 or people havingRead More sex on the beach. A PI, seriously? And this wasn't a witch hunt, it was Lion's gut instinct stated pretty fairly; it wasn't over the top. It is totally creepy and I'd call it in. Let the police decide what to do. I love too how it is mostly men piping up here the loudest - bet you haven't had some "creepy" guy watch you, or your daughters. It isn't fun. It's creepy and it's scary.

WHEW!! he's an absolutely stunning pit mix!! so glad that rascal is home :)))
Jenna May 21, 2013 at 09:25 am
What a funny story! So your neighbor found Oscar blissed out when he got home from work?
Vicster May 18, 2013 at 08:36 am
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!
Art Bz May 21, 2013 at 12:14 pm
Here is a fact I made up- 90% of dog owners are irresponsible and shouldn't have dogs... but I'mRead More sure there is a basis to my "fact"
Cynthia May 20, 2013 at 10:03 am
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!
Gloria Guerra May 20, 2013 at 11:43 am
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 theyRead 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 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.
bette page May 17, 2013 at 07:01 am
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.
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.
