Oakland:
used to be a cheap place to live and with it's bad rep. most people wouldn't think of living here. now the ghetto bungalows are starting at half a million and you still wouldn't want to live in some neighborhoods.
great parks with redwoods up in the hills, restaurants and 10 minutes from SF.
been here 30 of 37 years but will be moving to colorado for my wife to closer to her family. Hope I can make it happpen out there.

Probably a lot diff. in many ways then, but also the same in other ways. Great urban city without the congestion of SF(I can park in front of my place). We live in the old jelly belly factory which was converted to artist space. Cool folks for neighbors and a halfpipe next door.

City of Dope, I call it Oak
Can't be broke, selling coke
Fat ropes, shattered hopes
Fresh cars and all that dope
Baseheads keep the trade alive
Nobody know about a 9 to 5
Everybody's just trying to survive

saw a great doc by an old coworker on the 'falcon boys of east oakland' with lots of too $hort on the soundtrack. He pretty much defined oakland rap in high school.

Milwaukee,
In the summertime, any reason imaginable is good enough to block off the street and sell beer in plastic cups. :)
