Foothill Square was in great need of a Revamp. I grew up in the neighborhood and I myself know that…Read More it is a great area to shop. It was hard to see them close the laundromat down because I was a frequent customer but to see something Great come to East Oakland is wonderful. Thank you for bringing some life back to Oakland!!!!!!!

David, I find it difficult to follow your line of logic. You have not read my comments thoroughly. I…Read More have decided not to continue further discussion on the subject.
Ken, I do not understand what "compound" you are referring to. Gate's Foundation is working in Africa and Asia. They are attempting to help with vaccinations and sanitation.

Being that this guy named Bennie Lee was not on the city payroll you would not hear anything . His…Read More butt must live just over the fence from the place . Now all those people on the far north end can not see the windmill, but some of them can see the fire house on the north end and see some of those craines that stick up in the air and see where that cookie place is .
What is that camp ground going to do when Bennie Lee is voted out of office and no one that lives in that camp ground wants ton try to get the job ?

San leandro reflects the shifting of the nature and population of the "middle class".…Read More After The War, with the rest of the world communist or bombed to zero, unskilled metal benders could charge premium prices and have unions demanding inflated wages. These unskilled workers cannot remain in the middle class anymore with added global competition. The choice or result in communities then is either they gentrify by shifting their focus to more skilled work, high tech or whatever you want to call it. This is supported by low barriers to starting a business and good schools, of which, san leandro barely has the former (and is hurt by being in California, the worst state to start or run a business). Without these, the unskilled population has slid further downscale, something san leandrans are doing and seeing. Not every city, and certainly not san leandro, can have google. With attractions for higher skilled businesses (LIT etc), perhaps SL can avoid continued ghettoizing. Better schools would help that effort tremendously. A better state environment would also help (not just us, but take a looks at the devastation the idiots in Sacramento have wreaked on the Central Valley.

Milwaukee, where I grew up went through a similar phase in the 90's. terrible schools, industries…Read More closing, population shrinking and too-high unionization rates. Since the establishment of vouchers, in the 90's, improving the schools, and improving the business climate, despite relatively high taxes and regulations there too, the population has grown a bit, jobs and wages have stabilized.

Great place to find the illusive sex shop and casino - indicative of cultural meccas like Vegas. :)

FOR SHOES , you got to go to a shoe store in Hayward called The Cobbers at
22443 Foothill blvd by…Read More A street phone 510 582 7761 .
I had to get some new shoes and being that I broke my heel and had to have pins put in my right foot, I found that the stores , shoe store at bayfair sucks , but this store in hayward will take time to help you in what you want and need .

In terms of shutters, it looks like Mr. Bagel on E 14th St. is closed :( newspapers are lining the…Read More insides of the windows right now, and when I tried to call them it said their number has been disconnected and is no longer in service.

And by the way. It doesn't take a whole lot of money buy a F'N turbine. I just choose not to rob our…Read More tax payers of subsidies that are involved. But you are too stupid to even know about something like that PROPHEAD. Do some homework idiot... And guessing from your post you have no shame in purchasing said turbine. WHY? Because it's cool, and green, it matches my Prius and I am getting all these "rebates". YEP! REBATES you ass-hat. In other words, SUBSIDIES. Where did you think the rebate was coming from DICK!

Is there any other information that addresses the concerns of the EBRPD? You've presented this…Read More action as strictly limited to this property and the one windmill being approved, can you please expand upon what the unintentional impacts EBRPD is referring to in their letter. Does the "no further comment" refer back to other comments?

Congratulation Zocalo! Also, Thanks to the Patch for mentioning Gold & Bare Tanning. We've…Read More actually have been in the Top 3 for Tanning Salons on the Bay List for the entire Bay Area and the #1 Tanning Salon in the East Bay for the last 3 years. It's nice to see so many other local San Leandro businesses striving for and hitting the top! Lots of my favorite places are on the list!
