Re: OAKLAND (One City in BART's Path)

I was born in OAKLAND (aka OAKTOWN) when it used to be a real nice community and was the 3rd largest city in California. When Portuguese and Italians worked in the canneries or the cotton mills.
When whites and Mexicans worked on the Southern Pacific. When blacks worked in the Shipyards, on the Trains or not at all.

When folks like King Narcisse tried to give African-Americans hope and pride and held revivals in the Lincoln Theatre on 7th Street in West Oakland.
What happened to those days ?

In East Oakland where I lived (aka as Funktown by the Asian Gangs), most of my Italian neighbors raised chickens and sold the eggs.

About two weeks ago I saw on the news that OAKLAND is rated as the 3rd most dangerous city
in America !

WHY ??? Because of GANGS ! Check out this LINK and find out:
