Oakland!






Telegraph Avenue in Berkeley!



San Francisco!




To the Bay Area orgers:
What part of the Bay do you live? Where do you shop? Where do you hang out? The clubs...record stores....clothing stores.....


Discuss!

I've never lived there, but I love visiting San Francisco. It's one of the prettiest and funnest cities I've ever seen, and the restaurants are fantastic. Plus, it's one of the few California cities that have interesting weather!

Where are the prom pics???

I'm digging through my Myspace friends list as I type this

My own photos I lost some when I moved. I had a picture of my boy Joe in a clean ass white tux....with his name and picture airbrushed on the back and his name airbrushed on his Vans

and alot of people were rocking tuxedos with Jordans.....in fact, some of the girls were wearing Jordans too!

You know I like pics of the youngins

SCNDLS said:

YAY AREAAAAA!!!

Nice pics Bboy but I had to laugh out loud at the Oakland "Eastmont Mall" pic... that thing hasn't been a "Mall" in a decade... Lawd I miss that place, T's Wauzi Records was there, I bought my first pair of Bally's and Ellessee there... almost bought a Troop jacket and if I had the cojones a dookie rope to go with it...

RenHoek said:

Lawd, not the dookie chain.

Man, I love San Francisco.

One day, God-willing, I'm gonna spend some real time there.

Is the Bay Area really more expensive than NYC? I heard that about San Francisco in particular.

Born, raised and have always lived in the SF Bay Area!!!!!

I was born in SF and moved to Hayward when I was 3 1/2 and have lived in various locations in Hayward ever since.


Hayward is the 6th largest city in the Bay Area and is right smack in the middle of the Bay Area.

Hayward City Hall


All Saints Church


Main Fire Station


View of the library building at Cal State Hayward (it's called Cal State East Bay now but I refuse to call it that) in the Hayward Hills.

With both my daughters playing competitive Soccer I am mostly traveling all around on weekends so I don't do as much as I used to like going to the Oakland Coliseum to watch A's games, go to SF, etc....so far last month and this month alone we have been to Reno, Elk Grove, Tracy and will be going to San Rafael for tournaments.

My wife has a lot of family in Oakland so when we have the time, we spend a lot of time in Oakland and make sure we got to SF at least two or three times a year since it is only about 1/2 hour away from our house on a normal Saturday or Sunday.

One bad thing about Hayward is traffic!!!! Since freeways 92 (to from San Mateo Bridge), 880, 580, and 238 all converge and or pass through Hayward, traffic absolutely sucks during rush hour.

My trip to SF was all too quick, I need to go back!

I loved this little street

KoolEaze said:

It's absolutely insane. I knew someone that lived in a 100 square foot studio, in an alley, and paid 2,000 a month for rent

The only way I could live there is lotto or sugar daddy

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

My daughter wanted to move there after we visited, ain't happening I just could never afford it!

veronikka said:

If she moved there and made it, that's the surefire way to know your daughter just became a whore! A friend of mine had 3 roommates and they lived on one floor of a 3 story house in the Castro. They each paid $1700. Multiply that by each floor, which had the same rent and you are talking $15K a month for rent!

I live in San Jose!

I live four blocks from the little white building middle to top right hand side.

Lombard St I know it well.....my daughters make me go down that street every time we go to SF.

I haven't spent too much time in San Jose but it seems pretty cool there.

Moslty I go to either fly out of Mineta San Jose International Airport, or to the big pulga (flea market) there, or to the HP Pavillion (the Shark Tank!) to see a concert (seen Prince 4 times there) or show or a Sharks game.

Lake Merritt







I live just to the right of the park to the right of the lake

NDRU said:

Thank you for posting some decent pics of Oakland Bboy put up the shittiest shit he could find! COLD!

Okay, wait - what was the question?

I'll admit to living in the Lake Merritt area, that is all...

NDRU said:

You live close to the old ROSCOES CHICKEN AND WAFFLES.

Sowhat said:

I've been here most of my life. It's okay. I end up doing stuff in San Francisco though.

CalhounSq said:

I know the eastmont mall, nice!

I SO want to visit San Francisco

<3

CalhounSq said:

I put up that picture for RenHoek

You don't want me to post pictures of Bancroft and East 14th!

and I will go into Durant Square, take pictures, and upload all of them here!

NDRU said:

Jesus, it was a shitty movie explosion that weekend. Great picture, though.

All these pictures make me jealous of you guys living in the City by the Bay. Me & my partner will be living in the East Bay in a few years..God willing.

Efan said:

too bad the pic didn't capture their regular left wing political messages on the marquee

The Mormon Temple in Oakland....we love going there during Christmas time:
