What's the biggest thing Oakland needs right now?

Chevalier’s, L.A.’s oldest independent bookstore, started selling periodicals in Feb. after a nearby newsstand closed. Update: Home and fashion magazines sell well, a staffer says, but newspapers are the real draw: “We have people waiting at the door when we open to grab them.”

THIS IS ACTUALLY CRAZY LIKE HE ATE THAT SO BAD OMFG😭???

Once upon a time, this app was a treasure trove for new music and I had it curated so perfectly. The feed fed me. But they went and messed everything up. But that doesn’t mean I can’t share my favorite music from 2025 anyway. Someone out there needs this. ✌🏾

Two years ago, we pressed pause on a 14-year-long journey. ADP was home to thousands of episodes from hundreds of DJs, musicians, and music curators from the Bay Area and beyond.  For the past year we’ve been in the cut, re-engineering the platform, working with DJs to produce and fine-tune our new format, with the same great music.  Starting Monday, we’ll be dropping two DJ sets a week. Every week.   Today, we’re live-streaming a 24/7 sneak preview of what’s to come. Link in Bio has it all. Subscribe, share, comment and like to support the movement!

On this day in 2006 Vallejo legend @e40 dropped his hit "Tell Me When To Go" ft. Oakland legend @KeakDaSneak which had the hyphy movement in uproar and the NorCal scene live for years! Is this your favorite #E40 classic?

One day I'm gonna tell my grandchildren about a song by three guys from Oakland in 1990. An ode that compared a lady to how beautiful the weather was where she lived bc there was no precipitation. And then humans wrecked the Earth and it rained for 48 hrs straight in Feb 2024.
