More Reasons to love Oakland!

At the Grand Lake Theatre, there is an organist that plays old show tunes.  He is amazing, as the organ is an insanely complicated instrument of three different key boards, switches and pedals.  The audience applauds after each song and eagerly awaits the organs decent and the raising of the red velvet curtain.

The instant camaraderie that comes with sitting on the third base line at an As game, being able to bring in your own snacks and drinks, tail gating through the 3rd inning or longer, and taking BART directly to Oracle are just LOVELY.




Just across the bay from all of this. (Dolores Park, SF)
