http://chinaoakcenter.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Central Oakland / Chinatown Surround. Friday, September 12, 2008. A Closer Look at Oakland's Downtown and Chinatown. As I headed down Telegraph Avenue into Oakland’s Downtown (location of both Chinatown and the City Center) last Saturday, I was initially struck by both the new development of The Uptown Apartments and the re-development of the Fox Theater. A block away, the Fox Theater. At Frank Ogawa Plaza, where City Hall. Is located, the area is noticeably quiet compared to the weekday bustle of city o...

Central Oakland / Chinatown Surround. Saturday, October 18, 2008. Bakeries in Oakland Chinatown. Chinatown is sprinkled with as many bakeries as a puff pastry topped with powdered sugar.

Central Oakland / Chinatown Surround. Sunday, October 12, 2008. Wigging Out at the Wig Shop. Behind big windows and a locked glass door sit hundreds of long-necked women. Their statuesque profiles are framed by shining hairdos—not one the same as the next or the one before it.
