Well National Night Out was a success. Oakland had over 400 Block Parties organized by local community residents. These people took the courage to go out and do it and make it happen for the rest of their neighborhoods. We thank you all for doing it and showing that we DO have neighbors that care and we CAN be friends and look out for each other. Thank you all! Remember, Oakland is Proud!
Below are photos and video of the Champion Street Block Party Organizer Carolyn Vallerga with the Oakland Police Department and Karis Griffin from the Oakland Parks and Recreations Department.
The Hieroglyphics will be performing live at the Fillmore on Thursday September 18th at 8pm. These guys are local Oakland Hip Hop legends and not to be missed. If you like Del the Funky Homosapien then you gotta check them out because he is the lead member of the group. I have seen them live several times and would encourage you to go to this show. The Fillmore won’t be around much longer either!
The Oakland Art & Soul Festival is coming up! I go every year and am looking forward to Zion I this year. I must admit it is becoming more expensive and having less talent that interest me, but it is still a local event worth checking out. It is sponsored by mainly Comcast so maybe that’s why it is changing? Lots of music, 3 days and plenty of local vendors.
