Happy Monday Oakland,
A couple of items to start the week:
- Last week’s torrential rain can’t hold Oakland’s foodies back! Taste of Temescal is alive and well and kicks off Tuesday night!
- Oakland’s new Police Chief, Anthony Batts, assumes command of the Oakland Police Department today. His swearing-in ceremony is set for Tuesday’s City Council Meeting.
- On Saturday, Bay Area residents gathered at the Cypress Freeway Memorial Park, in West Oakland in remembrance of the 20th anniversary of the Loma Prieta earthquake.
- Some sad accidents on the roads this weekend: A driver was killed when his car flipped on I-580 Saturday night and some seriously reckless driving left three dead on MacArthur Boulevard.
- And on a lighter note, just in case you missed it, indie rockers converged in the middle of the Bay for the two-day Treasure Island Music Festival.
