Adams Point Veteran Local Nancy Rieser on Motorcycle Riders

I had to share this post from Nancy Rieser, who's lived in Adams Point for as long as I can remember. This I found in the Yahoo! Group on crime problems in the area.

In regards to the Harley Davidsons.

I have two feelings when I can't talk on the phone
inside my house when a Harley roars up the street
outside my window (I live one door up from Grand
Avenue:

1. Extreme annoyance

2. Pity

Yup. I feel sorry for the guys that need to
overcompensate by lookin' macho and calling attention
to himself by making intrusive, loud and abnoxious
noises.

Back in the 60s and 70s, there was a phrase women used
to snort when a Hells Angel wannbe roared past, making
all normal discourse impossible:

"The louder the fool, the shorter the tool..."

Maybe a couple of banners could be made with that
simple quote printed on them...and hang one from the
580 freeway across from the Kwik Way area and string
the second one across Grand Ave near the the Golden
Bear.

Just a thought.

Oakland Mayor's Race: LWV Forum Draws Oakland's Older Folks

Oakland Mayor's Race Forum first take. (Which means, there's going to be more of these posts on last night, because a lot was happening.) This just in: The Oakland Tribune's out of touch with Oakland. A number of attendees of the 450 estimated said they learned of the Oakland League Of Women Voters via "the newspaper." All of the people who made that statement were over 50 years old. Still, the forum, which attracted every candidate except Dr. Terrance Candell, was a success. The auditorium at 300 Lakeside Drive seats 380 people, so if you do the math, it was about 70 over capacity. The crowd was a happy mix of supporters of candidates and long-time observers of the Oakland political scene. The one complaint they had was there wasn't enough time to hear what the candidates were about. That wasn't because there were too many candidates, but due to the format. Either Oakland Tribune Editor Martin Reynolds or the League of Women Voter
