“Keep It Oakland” Movement Aims To Help Small Independant Businesses In Oakland

“Keep It Oakland” is a movement that was already there but now has been accelerated by the Oakland Indie Alliance. The intent, as explained to me by Amy Hillyard, co-owner of Farley’s East Cafe in Uptown Oakland, is to support and promote The Town’s native entrepreneurs. Amy explained that the Oakland Indie Alliance hired an agency to establish the promotional campaign (it should have called Zennie62Media for help, but I digress). The T-shirt you see was created to raise funds for the non-profit. You can buy the t-shirts at Farley’s East Cafe at 33 Grand Avenue, which is the home of the “Keep It Oakland” movement. Stay tuned.

Oakland Art & Soul Festival NFL Zennie62 Fans Give Oakland Raiders 2018 Predictions

How do you think the Oakland Raiders will do with Jon Gruden at the helm of the organization for at least the 2018 NFL Season? That’s the question I asked Zennie62 on YouTube fans I met at the Oakland Art & Soul Festival on Saturday. What shocked me was one man said the Raiders would do no better than .500 or 8 and 8. Eight wins and eight losses. Of course, some, like ESPN’s Colin Cowherd, had the Raiders finishing dead last in the AFC for the 2018 NFL Season. Personally, I think the Raiders will finish at 10 Wins and 6 losses. The offense will be different and Bill Walsh-based - you can see that in the practice videos. Moreover with all of that talent on defense and under a new single gap scheme, they will be better than the six and ten of 2017. But the Raiders better Sign Khalil Mack, or this prediction is going to go down to 9 and 7. Stay tuned.

New Peet’s Coffee In Downtown Oakland Gives Zennie62 Free Pastries

The new Peet’s Coffee In Downtown Oakland at 1615 Broadway, is quite the meeting place for Uptown. Located right where Broadway and Telegraph Avenue meet, I’ve ran into everyone from Jesse Smith, who’s running for Mayor of Oakland, to Kenzie Smith, who’s running for the Oakland City Council District Two Seat, to Steve Snider of the Downtown Oakland Business Improvement District. It’s already a true community center. They’re also nice people. The folks who worked there had zero idea I was a media guy when they asked me if I wanted to take home some pastries! It was Saturday and I just happened to walk in after the Art & Soul Festival and wanted to upload a vlog over coffee before going over to my godparents for dinner. So, I thought of the two people who would most enjoy such a large haul outside of my Mom in Georgia. It was a very nice gesture. By the way, the coffee is good, too! Stay tuned.

Mission Impossible Fallout Review At Grand Lake Theater Oakland

In Mission Impossible Fallout, Tom Cruise manages to do what James Bond would never do: make being a secret agent look like a thankless job. In the process he made the best mission impossible movie of the series. In paring with Superman Henry Cavill (who can’t quite make you think he is someone other than Clark Kent) Cruise always has to watch his back. And then there is Alec Baldwin. In playing Tom Cruise boss in the Impossible Mission Force, Alec Baldwin communicates that while he says he is supporting Tom Cruise who is Ethan Hunt, he also makes it clear he is willing to turn him in to suit his own purposes. And then there is Rebecca Thompson. The amazing action actress appears throughout the film. But it’s not clear why she is in the movie until near the end. The only two people Tom Cruise can trust are Simon Pegg and Ving Rhames. Cruise can’t even trust CIA Director Angela Bassett. All of that combined with incredible special effects, Makes for an edge-of-your-seat movie. In fact Mission Impossible: Fallout has so many special effects it might as well be a science-fiction movie. Not less than eight special effects houses were employed to pull off some incredible scenes and stunts. If it’s not in the running for an Oscar for visual effects, something is wrong with Hollywood. Overall, it’s an incredible summer movie, well worth the price of admission. But before I conclude I have to say that Sean Harris plays one of the scariest action movie villains ever. Stay tuned.

Charlie Casserly’s Dez Bryant Comments On NFL Network Were Stupid

Charlie Casserly, the NFL Network Analyst and former General Manager of The Washington Redskins, made some really stupid and seemingly personal comments about Dez Bryant on the broadcast of Thursday evening. In an obvious rush to prove that Bryant is not the wide receiver he used to be with the Dallas Cowboys, Casserly used an example that made me wonder if he actually knew football. Charlie used an example from the Cowboys vs Rams game of last year where Dallas lined up three wide receivers to the left with Dez Bryant as the middle slot pass catcher in the group of three: the outside receiver ran an up pattern, the inside-most receiver a kind of look-in patterned to the middle of the defense, and Bryant a slant pattern to the middle of the defense. Guess what? The Rams has Dez pattern covered with two inside linebackers and the free safety in the middle. But Cowboys QB Dak Prescott threw the ball to Dez anyway. And it was a split second late throwing it. So it was a tick behind Dez - when Dez went to catch the ball he tipped it. Casserly says that because he did that Dez lost a step. Wow. What should have happened was the play should have allowed Dez the option of running a five yard out - away from the defense and that area of the field was wide open. The play design was just stupid. But obviously Casserly doesn’t know enough football to see that. Sadly Dez has to be subjected to this kind of abuse. Charlie should be ashamed of himself. NFL Network too. Stay tuned.

Rick DeSilva Of Chinatown Chamber Of Commerce On Downtown BID And Chinatown

Rick DeSilva is the President of the Oakland Chinatown Chamber Of Commerce and Partner in Loh Realty and Investments. He's also someone I've know since 1997, when I worked as Oakland Mayor Elihu Harris Economic Advisor. I literally ran into Rick at the July 24th Oakland City Council Meeting where the Downtown / Uptown Business Improvement District was approved for another 10 years of life. If you're wondering what the Business Improvement District , or what a Business Improvement District is and does, it takes advantage of what's called Mello - Roos Financing as passed by a legislation called Mello-Roos, or the 1982 The Mello-Roos Community Facilities District Act. The The Mello-Roos Community Facilities District Act happens when 2/3rds of the property owners in a drawn special boundary of any shape or size vote to tax themselves. The purpose of the The Mello-Roos Community Facilities District Act use in the Downtown Oakland case happened as an outgrowth of concerns about vandalism and security in the Downtown Oakland area in 1999. Oakland has several BIDs: Downtown Oakland Association, Fruitvale Business Improvement District , Jack London Improvement District, Koreatown/Northgate BID, Laurel District Association, Lakeshore Avenue Business Improvement District, Montclair Village Association, Rockridge District Association, Temescal/Telegraph, and Lake Merritt/Uptown Association. As Rick explains in the video, the Oakland Chinatown Chamber Of Commerce is a kinds of watch-dog organization over the Downtown Oakland BIDs. He has concerns over how Oakland development has encroached on Chintatown, and that, combined with the high-minimum wage ordinance has combined to hurt the small independent businesses that give Oakland Chinatown its character, and leave it to be changed by giant chain retailer and restaurant operators. Stay tuned.

Chris Young Suspends Oakland City Council District Four Race For Beautiful Reason

Chris Young Suspends Oakland City Council District Four Race For Beautiful Reason: his wife Sam is pregnant with their second child. On his Facebook page, Chris left this tearfully lovely message: Dear Friends and Family: The outpouring of support for my candidacy for Oakland City Council has been nothing short of amazing. From old childhood friends to the Mayor, current District 4 Councilwoman and firefighters, and the countless union members and neighbors with whom I have spent time—your vote of confidence in me has been incredibly uplifting and inspiring. Today I want to share something personal. For the past few years, Sam and I have been trying to conceive a second child. We’ve wanted nothing more than to give our son, Elijah, a lifelong friend and companion. Just as we lost hope, a miracle was delivered: recently, we learned that Sam is pregnant! We are absolutely thrilled about meeting the newest member of our family early next year. This news, while amazing, forced Sam and me to do some soul searching and discuss whether it was in the best interest of our now-growing family to continue on the campaign trail. We decided that it was not. That’s why I’m writing to let you know that I am suspending my campaign for Oakland City Council. I want to be clear: my desire to serve and improve our community has not changed. But it would not be fair to my family if I were absent during Sam’s pregnancy or unable to devote my attention to her and Elijah. While there will be other campaigns in the future—and I am confident that there will long be a need for each of us to do what’s right for our City—this moment is unique for my family. Family first, straight up. I’ll be reaching out to many of you in the coming weeks to express my gratitude for your love and support. Peace & Love, Chris

New Zealand All-Blacks, Black Ferns, Take Rugby World Cup Sevens 2018 SF

New Zealand All-Blacks, Black Ferns, Take Rugby World Cup Sevens 2018 SF Perry Baker of USA Rugby said that he didn’t think of the All-Blacks when I asked him if he was tired of all of the talk about them in our interview. Well, after both the All-Blacks and their female version called The Black Ferns crushed their opposition, Mr. Baker has to spend another few contests pretending like they don’t at all exist, when not only does everyone else know they do, they are hailed by some as the best ever. The New Zealand All-Blacks clobbered England 33 to 12. And just when Her Majesty’s team looked like it was going to make a game of it, The All Blacks made two scoring drives that were of such intimidating power, they had to be seen to be believed. England defenders were bouncing off All-Blacks ball carriers and in a fashion that was purely comical. England men looked smaller and for all the world played smaller. While the same could not be said for the Black Ferns, was of equal note was their very physical high leg power running style. They keep their legs moving like pistons, even with hard and direct tackle attempts. That style calls for amazing leg power and so gives away one possible edge the Black Ferns and All Blacks have: training style. In all New Zealand was a model for consistency. While Fiji was far and away the crowd favorite, and their fans bragged of a “dream team”, that claim was reduced to nothing more than a cruel joke. The dream was destroyed and replaced by the tough reality of New Zealand Rugby Sevens superiority. Stay tuned.

Pita Taumoepenu Of San Francisco 49ers At Rugby World Cup Sevens SF 2018 Pita is the San Francisco 49ers second year pass rusher who made the transition from rugby, and became an asset to the young Niners Defense. But on this weekend and this World Championship Sunday, the Tonga rugby star said he would rather be playing down there on the field, than watching in the stands. As the story goes, Pita Taumoepenu grew up with his mother's family 3,000 miles away from island of Tongatapu, which is the main island in the Tongan archipelago. There, the common sport is rugby, and while he was terrific at that sport, he had to get used to wearing a facemask. But that little impediment didn't stop him from being an effective pass rusher at Utah, where he earned his sociology degree in just three years. Then, he was taken in the 6th round by the San Francisco 49ers in the 2017 NFL Draft.

Rugby World Cup CEO Brett Gosper On Rugby World Cup Sevens SF 2018

Brett Gosper, Rugby World Cup CEO, came to the press room to hold an impromptu press conference. The video above has the full conversation; here are some highlights of what he said. Much of the talk was around the "knockout" format. As the Associated Press put it "A new format for the seventh championship starting on Friday in San Francisco has dumped pool play and gone straight to knockout rounds, seemingly to appeal to a perceived shorter attention span of American fans." If that's the case, it worked. The total attendance is 123,000. On the Knockout format and the 2019 World Rugby World Cup. "We'll look at it for next year - it's a bit of an experiment this year. This format lends itself to a combined (male female) tournament." Gosper doesn't think this format is the only way to get that combination and says that they will evaluate it. He says that all of that will be resolved as well, as the selection of new venues, by September of this year. "The desire is to innovate as much as we can," Gosper said. And the objective is a better product for fans and for broadcasters. Stay tuned.

Ricky Ricardo Host Of Jon Gruden Oakland Raiders Fans Party At Ricky’s

Ricky Ricardo Host Of Jon Gruden Oakland Raiders Fans Party At Ricky’s Jon Gruden threw the Oakland Raiders Fans Party, but his co-host was Ricky Ricardo (with his wife Tina Ricardo) the owner of Ricky's Sports Theater and Grill in San Leandro.  Believe it or not, folks, for all of the Raiders games I've attended.  For all of the work that I did in trying to bring the Super Bowl to Oakland, I've only visited Ricky's once - and I had a good time some years ago.  So, the Jon Gruden Oakland Raiders Fans Party was my one chance to make up for this massive deficiency in life, and in a big way.  For those of you who may not know Ricky's Sports Theater and Grill in San Leandro, first it's located at 15028 Hesperian Blvd in San Leandro, California.  Second, it's kinda like a cool place you might see if Walt Disney were an Oakland Raiders Fan: it has neat nooks and crannys, and then larger meeting rooms, and yet it's a bit of a maze you like getting lost in.  It has 90 televisions, but they're dotted all over so you can talk and really not miss the action.  It's hard to explain unless you experience the place.  For Oakland Raiders Head Coach Jon Gruden, Ricky wore the "Jon 317" Raiders t-shirt.  For those of you not well-versed in The Bible, John 3:17 says "For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him."   Translated, it means that Ricky and many Raiders fans thank God and Mark Davis for sending Jon Gruden to be the coach.  For all of the rightful blasting Davis gets about the Las Vegas relocation effort, hiring Jon Gruden was a move that (save for a rather sad statement against USC Offensive Coordinator Tee Martin and regarding The Rooney Rule), Davis got right. But I digress, this is about Ricky, and Ricky's Sports Theater and Grill in San Leandro,.  If you have a chance, go down to Ricky's and thank Mr. Ricardo for all that he's done for Raider Nation.  The event was a long time coming, and reminded me and others of the Raiders Kickoff Party at Jack London Square in 1998.   Ricky  was only happy to help produce the event, saying "Jon has been a long time friend of mine." There was a lot of love in that place Friday night.  Truly a time in a bottle moment.  Thank you Ricky and Jon.  I’ll be back! Stay tuned.
