“Oakland now is like a great old blues singer. She knows how to moan and cry, but the bad times behind her make her know how to savor the good times. Maybe she’s got some scars, but when she gets cooking she can still shake things up, and she can sing the pants off the young ones coming up that don’t know her savvy — there’s no soul in Walnut Creek!
The old-time Oaklanders, and the port, and the big corporations building new skyscrapers downtown, are like instruments in the band, and all together now we’re blowing some pretty good jazz.”
