Really craving a steak frites with a nice glass of red wine. Any recommendations?

I got tickets via stubhub to see the Beaches and I realized I’ve never noticed kids at the Fox Theatre. But then again, I was never looking.

I have seated tickets for my 8 year old and I. But I want to confirm that the Fox doesnt restricts kids?

If you're in college, coming home to the east bay for the summer, and want to keep active before school re-starts, the East Bay Rowing Club in Oakland (at Jack London Aquatic Center) would welcome you to row with our crews. Just shoot a note to the membership chair and she will hook you up.

On a similar vein, if you're a former rower and want to get back into it, EBRC is a welcoming place with room for you to reacclimate -- and a range of teams/crews.

Hi everyone! My partner and I aren’t able to make it to a couple shows this weekend and wanted to find someone to transfer our tickets to. Totally free, we just want someone to enjoy the shows in our absence.

Edit: Tix have been claimed! ❤️

Hi all,

I'm a Sustainability department intern and I'm trying super hard to help fix the lack of trees in East Oakland. Even if you can't attend, if you can share this event on a neighborhood facebook page or at your nearby coffee shop or even just bump this post on the Oakland instagram when it comes up, that would be super appreciated. As someone who's been out with peng a few times and participated in a bunch of community clean ups, planting trees and making wood land areas is a huge way to stop illegal dumping (and trees have a whole bunch of other benefits). If you can join us day of, you are an absolute king/queen/monarch-of-your-determined-identify and we'd love to feed you and plant some trees with you.

Edit: We will have shovels and materials but please wear close toed shoes and bring sun protection.

Other than Dignity On Wheels. I was assaulted while showering ther. More than once.

That’s it.

I volunteer with an almost 18-year old girl in the foster care system. I’m trying to think of something special to do for her birthday. She’s into fashion and hair/ makeup, and has a lot of enthusiasm for trying new things. I’m from NYC and don’t know much here, so any suggestions are appreciated. EDIT: so many amazing ideas here, thank you!!!

I have date coming up and she said that she'd like to go somewhere to watch the sunset. I just moved to Oakland. So do yall have any suggestions on good spots?

When I walk around certain parts it feels like I go back in time a lot of years ago. Whether it's the people, buildings, businesses, or the way people carry themselves, I don't know if Oakland still has some aspects of it from 30-50 years ago but it just gives off that kind of vibe at times. I don't know if this makes sense or describes Oakland at all.

Hi everyone! I have a 6am Southwest flight at the Oakland airport on a Friday. I'm staying in Berkeley with a friend who will be dropping me off. I'll have a personal item and 1 checked bag. I saw some posts about a change in security and wait times being longer than before(?). What time do yall recommend I arrive at the airport?

Thanks in advance!

Update: Thanks for all the advice!! I think I'll play it safe and arrive 2 hrs early as I don't have pre check, it's on Friday, and my flight is full.

i’m planning to press some flowers this summer once i’m not busy with school 24/7. are there any places here that have a lot of flowers that i could pick? preferrably flatter ones. Thanks!

(i almost signed off as if this were an email jfc i cannot wait to be done with school so i can get more than 6 hours of sleep every night)

i recently lost my job and am considering substitute teaching for a bit until i figure out my next move. is it worth applying right now? i know the school year has ended or is close to ending but wanted to check in and see if summer classes were an option. thanks

I need a space that's quiet and open until at least 9 p.m. and one where my laptop won't get stolen. Suggestions?

Looking to buy this for my kids Ant Habitat Makers project but it wont arrive in time. Is there a local store that could have this?
