Oakland Landmarks
What landmark do you think most represents Oakland?
What one is greatest to you? I’m honestly not sure but do have a few favorites.
I removed several poll options because they were not getting any votes so it’s now between these three.
Port of Oakland cranes, Lake Merritt and The Tribune Building.
I wanna hear your opinion. Drop a comment below or mention something that isn’t on this poll.

  1. I voted for Lake Merritt. While there are other landmarks I love (e.g., the Tribune Tower, the theaters, etc.) I think Lake Merritt most defines Oakland. It shapes all the neighborhoods around it
