Lakeshore Cafe Oakland
Lakeshore Cafe Mimosa Brunch
The Lakeshore Café is a GREAT place to get a Weekend Brunch. Whether it be Saturday or Sunday they have an amazing menu and specials on Mimosas. Yes, that’s right $2 Mimosas! Well $1.95 to be exact. They serve both Orange and Strawberry. The brunch special goes from 10am till 4pm both days.
This is located on Lakeshore Avenue in the Grand Lake area of Lake Merritt right across from Trader Joe’s near the Saturday Farmers Market.
They have an amazing staff, very friendly and quick. They’re always smiling, nice and personable. The food is A+++ and you can leave with a nice bubbly buzz all for under $30 for 2 people. While it may look like a long wait you typically wait no longer than 10 minutes. They have a lot of seating and also a small out door patio as well as sidewalk seating. Just Do It! Check them out!

I suggest the Tequila Sausage Scramble, Lakeshore Omelet or Chicken Apple Sausage Omelet along with some Strawberry Mimosas.

The sale takes place in a massive 96,000 square foot warehouse off of Fruitvale Ave near the Oakland Alameda Estuary. The huge warehouse has room for 17 departments containing unique items.

The year 2011 was the biggest and best sale yet for the organization as it raised an $1.6 million.

The Sale is put on by the Oakland Museum Women’s Board and all proceeds from the White Elephant Sale benefit the Oakland Museum of California. Over the years the Women’s Board has raised more than $18 million to support Oakland Museums acquisitions, exhibitions, educational programs, capital improvements and more.

Oakland Weather forecast and History California

Jun 042013
 

oakland weather
Do you ever find yourself saying “when I was a kid it was so much hotter” or “so much colder”. Well it seems it is true and something I have been saying forever. Back in the 80′s I remember freezes for days, heat waves and even a 7 year drought that brought along the Love To Save Water campaigns in the Oakland Unified School District.
I feel we have not had extended extreme weather like we did back then and after checking many records it appears to be true.

Month                Rec. High             Rec. Low
January:       74°F (1/28/84)        30°F (1/30/75)
February:     81°F (2/26/86)         29°F (2/05/76)
March:         88°F (3/11/05)         34°F (3/03/76)
April:           97°F (4/29/81)         37°F (4/01/76)
May:            105°F (5/12/76)      43°F (5/05/75)
June:           107°F (6/8/73)        48°F (6/16/02)
July:            103°F (7/13/72)      51°F (7/1/75)
August:        99°F (8/6/83)          50°F (8/17/77)
September:   109°F (9/14/71)    48°F (9/28/86)
October:       103°F (10/2/80)     43°F (10/6/07)
November:    84°F (11/2/97)        36°F (11/29/1975)
December:    75°F (12/7/79)       26°F (12/9/72)
Source: Yahoo Weather.

So as you can see the records high temperature and record low temperature for Oakland, CA were set back in the early 1970′s. It seems like most Oakland Record temperatures were set in the 70′s and 80′s.

The highest recorded temperature was 109°F in September of 1971.
The lowest recorded temperature was 26°F in December 1972.

Mind you all the historical weather records that I could find only date back to 1970.
These are the best records I can find containing all of the years and months for local weather in Oakland, CA dating from 1970-2011.

Here you can easily compare this day in history for the last 4 years.

Oakland Is Proud Mural

Jun 032013
 

oakland is proud shirtBack when I was a kid there was an awesome mural on East 12th pretty near the McDonald’s and where the Old Montgomery Ward Building was located.

It read “Oakland Is proud”. And it has stuck with me ever since.
I’ve located it to share with you.
