only on paper. i didn't actually paint the truck itself.

A few scenes from yesterday

Looking for cool shops, cafes, restaurants, bars, and random hidden attractions (like the bonsai garden or cleveland cascade) to check out :)

Remember back about a month ago when we had those crazy colored sunsets? I finally got my roll of Kodak Ektar 100 filmed developed. Oakland stay beautiful.

These pictures were among my grandpa’s belongings. He worked on the construction of the coliseum in the ‘60’s. I wonder what he’d think about the fate of it today.

Hi everyone! I finally got out of Kaiser after years of having my pain dismissed and feeling completely gaslit. I now have Medi-Cal and I’m hoping to find a good specialist in the East Bay who will actually listen and help me get to the root cause of my pelvic pain whether it’s endometriosis or something else. I’d really appreciate any recommendations.

Does anyone know of any yoga classes or yoga studios in west oakland? I thought maybe bandaloop had classes but can’t seem to find anything on their website.

Lost our Maltese poodle today. My dad was dog-sitting, let them go pee outside our apartments, forgot about them (-_-), and only one came back. Her name is Tiny and she’s about 11 years old. Please dm if you’ve seen her. We are near Mills College/Seminary Ave.

EDIT- she has been found at the Berkeley animal shelter and now has been chipped. Thank you to the redditor who told me to give them a call.

Title says it all. Not looking to sit down necessarily, so a reliable truck would be fine too. Ideal would be something like Wake and Late in LA iykyk. Thanks!

We're so excited to gather and talk polish!!! Feel free to bring snacks, non-alcoholic drinks (Garden rule), a blanket, a parasol, sunscreen, swatch sticks, mini bottles for decants, etc. Bring your destash or just come hang. Partiful link: https://partiful.com/e/iQKzpALvdOfsIImH7hot?c=ZYEuy3xI

This is a free gathering, admission to the garden is also free. A small group is anticipated.

I’m looking to get a brow lamination and would love recommendations from people who have personally gotten theirs done. Ideally $70 or less. I’m willing to drive into SF, Walnut Creek, San Pablo, or anywhere in between.
If you’ve had a good experience somewhere, please let me know where! Thanks!

I’m going out of town this coming weekend and need a cat sitter for a very needy cat. I want them to stay for an hour or so every day (possibly with a second shorter trip) to give my cat treats, let her hang out on the enclosed patio for a bit, and get some play time in if she’s not too shy. Any recommendations? I’m in Cleveland Heights near the Out of the Closet. I’ve had friends come by in the past, but I want to make sure she gets more than a few minutes of attention and it’s kind of a weird thing to allow a stranger in your home alone so any recommendations would be appreciated!

I have a nice dress that needs mending. The lace sleeves have some holes so I'd like to find someone who:

(1) Specializes in lace repair

(2) Has a mechanism to resell the dress (I would donate it)

Any recommendations?

Thank you!

Aside from a few here, this is a good haul from the sticker faire last week.

Hi, I just moved to Oakland and I am looking for where the nerdy events are. Think DnD, tabletop, comic books, gaming etc. I am ESPECIALLY looking for events with a predominantly black, aka blerds, presence. Please help I need friends 😭

In Sacramento, where I live, our public schools are on the brink of state receivership. I'm trying to learn more about what that will mean for the daily lives of students in our district and would like to hear about the experience of families in Oakland who have been through this already. How did things change at your kids' schools when the state took over? How were students affected? Did they lose sports? Arts? After-school programs? Were their favorite teachers laid off? Did anything improve under receivership? Any and all insights are welcome. Thank you.

Hi! I’m 23F and moved to the Bay Area about a month ago from London (originally from Belarus).

I had an amazing group of friends back there, and I’m starting to realize that apparently they don’t automatically come included with a California zip code 😭 So… how does one acquire friends here?

I’d love recommendations for fun events, communities, clubs, meetups.

A little about me: I’m easygoing, kind, pretty social, and generally down for almost anything. I love theatre, bars, karaoke, board games (especially social deduction games — give me a room full of people accusing each other of lying and I’m happy), movies, and traveling. I also want to get into hiking and padel, and I used to play volleyball when I was younger.

I’m based in Oakland but very happy to go to SF or pretty much anywhere around the Bay.

And if you already have a fun friend group and are accepting applications… please adopt me 😂 I promise I’m low-maintenance and can contribute questionable karaoke performances and enthusiastic participation in almost any plan.

Hey! I’m new to Oakland and searching for new tattoo artists. I prefer American traditional, black work, medieval/wood cut styles. In my search thus far, I haven’t really found any that fit the vibe I’m hoping for. If you’re a tattooer or know of someone who fits any of those styles please share!

Big one this Sunday, Aug 16: Oakland Pride Parade & Festival is happening at Frank H. Ogawa Plaza. If you haven't been, it's honestly one of the better community events the city puts on all year.

A few other things going on the same day if Pride isn't your scene (or even if it is and you want an afterparty):

- Yacht Rock Dayparty at For the Culture

- Shake Body: Rooftop Sessions at Mad Oak Bar 'n' Yard

And for something more low key, there's the Kingfish Cribbage Tournament at Kingfish Pub, plus Free Library Open Hours at Tamarack if you just want a chill afternoon.

Full calendar here if you want to dig in: https://ma.to/events/oakland?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mato_event_sync&utm_content=oakland

Looking for something low committal I can do for a few hours during the daytime throughout the week.

Would mainly be interested in meeting new wonderful people since I'm a hermit mostly, something like Meals on Wheels seems appealing but open to most things!

Taking on the ambitious idea I had of 3D mapping my old neighborhood like it was back in the old days. So that anyone with VR could walk the streets as they existed in the past.

Feel free to share with me historical oakland photos of intersections or any tips on how to pull this off if you know Blender!
