BERKELEY SKATERS FIND REFUGE IN DIY PARK
Imagine for a moment the following scenario: You’re watching some friends playing a game of touch football at a local ball field like you’ve done for years. Suddenly, out of nowhere, police paddy wagons pull up to the curb, officers stream out, block the exits, and line everyone up against a fence.

They’re full fl...

Tonight in Alameda: 'Theft of an Island' (town hall mtg on development)
I went to the planning board meeting on the Megaplex the other night, and the only people really supporting that thing are the business people and a handful of their friends. Everyone who spoke out against the project was an average resident. One guy who seemed to just be a regular guy supporting the Megaplex, let it slip that he had actually worked on the development of the project! The city officials seem completely bought off. This event seems like a healthy response to the outrageous...
