Please explain to me how you can take Fruitvale Ave to the coliseum and 60s when it runs in the opposite direction. Fruitvale Bart isn’t Fruitvale Ave
Its literally an L shap you are driving. Right before you cross them tracks heading into alameda you cut left and it's a straight shot.

If you've driven in Oakland you know what I'm talking about.

Do you recommend any other spots that are like Lake Chalet?
Out on the water here? That's probably the best you'll find.

But in general there's Portal, Canã, Aisle 5 was cool but they closed, Grand Lake Kitchen is a nice spot too.

If you can I'd see if the Caribbean folks who cooked at Sweet Fingers are open for business. I believe their spot burned down but bruh started cooking out his home in Berkeley.

Which do you prefer Grand Lake Kitchen Merit or Dimond
Dimond is alright because it's in a lil tucked off spot on McArthur and the traffic through the area is better. Although that one is smaller and can fill up fast.

Merit IMO has a longer wait time but because it's so busy the food comes hot and fresh. Also by the water so you can go and catch some nice sights after you're done eating. Also a great area to meet singles as many black women workout and parlay there.

If you're near Dimond you should check of Southern Café as well. Black owned and the service is cool.

I've had a real good time with Filipinas. Them and Guyanese are my weaknesses main.
Filipinas damn near rival the Latinas as far as the amount I see with black men. Only in Berkeley and SF do I see the white/Asian pairings and even then a lot of older black men be on the train and walking the streets with older Asian women.

Right on, we’re making reservations now. Much appreciated.

Leaving fruitvale, you can make a left turn near Fruitvale BART and Guadalajara which will take you straight to the 60s.

What's hard to comprehend about that?
I don’t want to drag this out but that’s not what you said . You said Fruitvale takes to the coliseum. But whatever. When’s that shake shack open in the old Sears building?

Don't worry. He lives way out in Hayward, but still trying to claim Oakland.
:smh:
Don't know what is going on here, but Seminary ave and 68th ave are 8 blocks apart, Fruitvale ave or district is nowhere near that. I don't get in between folks and arguments but I tend to comment where ever Oakland is discussed. But Oakland, geographically speaking is not that large, 10 minutes of driving, not counting traffic, from ANY point in the city in any direction will put you out of Oakland!!! Everything is everything you know, plenty of folks in the Bay Area claim Oakland when they physically may not live within its boundaries, and I'm cool with that, "Tha Bay" tries to be a family. LMBAO!!! And just like real families sometimes folks want to distance themselves from a person when his / her shyt gets heavy, you know what I mean!!! That's when I need for those folks to stick to tha-game, tha-code, and keep reppin' Oakland when our shyt is having problems!!!

Now, regarding OP's comment, there may be something to his observation / concerns!!! I too have observed some different behavior(s) from some of my Asian (I hate the term "ASIAN") folks in the "Tha Town". In short, If your familiar with the Jewish ritual "Passover" (marking the entrance to a dwelling with blood to escape the angel of death) that kind of seems to be what is going on relative to Black folks. Ever since BLM really got renewed traction since the Floyd murder, it seems as if folks have started to embrace and engage "Blackness" with a different attitude in preparation for a coming storm!!!

Come on now, it's not even like that. I live in Hayward and lived since 93.
It’s not like what? You telling me there aren’t killers in Hayward? There’s a lot of ex East Oakland niggas living in Hayward that are grimy I know personally.

The older ones are man, had homies in high school who's girlfriends that were Filipino. Their pops straight up said "you can do better than a black guy" and almost shunned their asses for it. Till this day I haven't seen them with another black dude (in public) but thats not to say all of them are like that, just many.

Because it does.

And that's been open but it's not all the hype. Stick with Super Duper, Habit, 5 Guys, etc..

Yeah but then truth was saying that you can't get to the 60s/coliseum from Fruitvale which you can and in no time.
Bruh you can’t . You have to take an entirely different street wtf. Fruitvale runs north towards the hills and 580. What you talking about

Every city has it's rough areas and Hayward is no exception. You're right though, East Oakland dudes are grimy ass hell. I try to stay away from the rough parts of Hayward. Shit man I rather chill in Oakland

My dude where are you coming from? Just take Fruitvale right off the freeway and bust right straight down until you make it to Fruitvale BART station. That's going to be on your left with Guadalajara on the right before the train tracks.

Make the left there and just shoot straight up.
