On 3/30/12, KRK wrote on AP, as part of a several installment article about the Oakland Pier:
"January 22, 2012 was the 130th Anniversary of the opening of Oakland Pier.
Nothing resembling "what was" is even at the site anymore, which was at the foot of 7th Street in West Oakland. Only one item, the famous Oakland Pier Interlocking Tower, was preserved and moved to a public park within the Port of Oakland container terminal." [
