I still miss The Uptown, but Crybaby’s renovations definitely improved the space. Sad to see on of Oakland’s biggest nightclubs bite the dust instagram.com/p/Dfk4CnIj_DY/…

It’s insane the amount of talent that Oakland has produced
When En Vogue hit SNL in March 1992, they dismantled the myth that girl groups couldn’t sing full-throttle live in heels. Trading leads across Cindy, Dawn, Terry, and Maxine, their dynamic control remained untouchable—from Dawn’s raspy rock bite to Terry’s operatic belts. When ook, their four-part harmonies locked in with their blend and zero backing tape. The album dropped 3 days later, proving to themselves and to the world just how Funky, these Divas really are.

Sather Gate in 1914. It the background is Doe Library (Wheeler Hall had not yet been built.) At right, a corner of South Hall can be seen. The Cal landmark was completed in 1910, paid for by a donation from Jane Krom Sather, in honor of her late husband Peder Sather.

15 years ago, October 10 2011, people inspired by the Occupy Wall St movement set up camp in Oakland's Frank H. Ogawa Plaza, which they immediately renamed Oscar Grant Plaza. The founding of Occupy Oakland was timed to coincide with Indigenous People's Day

Sixty years of history, and Saturday might be the last time an Oakland team calls the Coliseum home. Let's fill it with the fam one more time. Oct 10 vs San Antonio FC, with fireworks lighting up the East Oakland sky. See you there!
