Also, Oakland makes Beirut look like San Diego.

I was there back in the mid-70's when I was in the USCG. I saw a game between the A's and Milwaukee. Saw Hank Aaron hit a home run. Oakland seems to never learn. They won't be happy until they lose their baseball team too.Originally posted by Dr. Strangelove View Post

My last visit was close to 20 years ago, but from what I've heard at least some parts of the city are rapidly gentrifying as people hop over from San Fran looking for cheaper homes. Dunno if that's true...no first hand experience.Originally posted by AlabamAlum View Post
Back then the stadium was perfectly fine. Bland as hell and seating was designed for football, so you were waaaaay back from the action, but fine. Believe it was surrounded by nothing but parking lots and in the middle of nowhere like most of the stadiums from that generation.Comment

My last visit was 2007. I swore I would never go back. It absolutely needs gentrification. Or a tactical nuke."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham LincolnComment

Why tactical? I’m fine with collateral damage in that area.

Oakland. Montgomery BBQ is all that white sauce shitComment

-Tactical because I like SF. Or used to. I hear it’s a cesspool now, too, which makes me sad.
-White sauce is north Alabama and it’s primarily for chicken.
-Montgomery has one redeeming quality: a cigar shop named Havana Dreamin. Well, there are a couple of nice golf courses and a decent Thai place. So, I guess, in a Survivor-style city elimination, they are saved in a head-to-head with Oakland.

Andrew Zimmern was prattling on about some barbecue chicken joint in Birmingham. I was enticed until remembering it was in Birmingham.

Myra’s?
Honestly, Bham has a surprisingly good food scene. Not even kidding."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham LincolnComment

And I have never been to Wheeling, but Oakland is one of the few places I have truly felt unsafe. Couldn’t get out quick enough.

When you come down for the game in 2057 or whatever, I will take you on a food tour."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham LincolnComment

I had to laugh when I read the Detroit News article that says Gretch has lifted stadium limits, and so that means Comerica Park can go to full capacity seating beginning July 1.
Ummmm.... we're talking about the DETROIT TIGERS here ... full capacity? LOL!!!!!"in order to lead America you must love America"Comment
