“By its nature, the metropolis provides what otherwise could be given only by traveling; namely, the strange.”
—Jane Jacobs
A crepuscule of cranes, in this not-quite winter.
The grace of West Oakland upon you, baseball knitting fan.
I informed BART police of this pigeon’s presence. A memorial service will be held at Most Holy Redeemer church on Tuesday at 10AM.
Daktronics’ new album is going to change the way you think about Microhouse. You don’t think about Microhouse? You don’t know what Microhouse means? You look confused. I’m going to listen to the new Daktronics album on my wireless headphones and pretend I don’t know you.
“Never get out of the boat.” Absolutely goddamn right. Unless you were goin’ all the way.
Fearful of the parking lot, the city-dwellers wait in the safety behind the turnstiles, the international waters, as it were, and pretend that this is merely a prettier Civic Center Station with the smells and sounds of Oakland.
Alarmed though you may be, it was surely a commuter-sized rhinoceros, honing its tiny horn en route to work.
Hi, I’m an amateur, but how about you ask me what’s wrong with this marketing strategy?
MORE TIPS FOR RUNNERS
Wet or damaged tickets will not work in fare gates, so keeping a round-trip ticket in one’s pocket while running seven miles is not a good idea. BART suggests runners buy two one-way tickets–one before heading to the race and the other before catching the train home–rather than a single round-trip ticket. BART reminds runners that shoes and proper attire are required on BART despite the “anything goes” attitude of the famous race. A reminder that there is no eating or drinking in the stations or on the trains so BART officials ask that runners do their “pre-race carbo-loading” before arriving at the stations. BART will not permit bicycles on the early Bay to Breakers trains that run prior to 8 a.m.
BART is politely saying that you can’t drink beer on the train.
