You bet the city officials who make these stupid decisions have something on the side with the developers who propose them.

Yes, Pablus, Ole's has not changed a bit! There are other good things, like when the city wanted to stop the old guy who sells papers from a cute little wood newsstand on a street corner downtown because they said his little building was ugly. So the community volunteered their time to restore the little wood building. From the Oakland Trubine: "Renovations, which include leveling the structure, placing a pressure-treated platform and restoring its sidings to the building's pre-1950s architecture, were completed about a month ago. The building also has been re-roofed and painted." They're always against Alameda's 1950s look! URGH! But at least it's still there.

I've been hearing about some new bar on the island that's supposed to be great but I've yet to check it out. Probably sucks! :lol:

Seriously, I still love this town, which is why I hate to see it change (much).
