Random Drive-By

Bootsy's Rubber Band

 is coming to Town

Drive-by shootings,

It's not a mania

more of a hobby

Miscellany

Campus apparel store

Telegraph Avenue

6 Bus line

EAST BAY RATS
headquarters
88 Bus line
Would maybe walk by
but I wouldn't want to wait
for the next bus around herer




MLK
12 Bus line
I dig this saw-tooth building
There is an old metal-box sign
from a former hardware store
in the shape of a hand-saw
maybe a residence now

Guy in the doorway

 

Now he's behind the light pole

There he and there's

that fine old sign

Notice bunker-like

adaptations

 2.

Broadway

51A Bus line

An old postcards sky

over Oakland's Auto-Row

Eldritch Catholic property

Rest and refreshment  

for the eyes and then mind,

To look at growing things

 A classic East Bay cafe,

Always admired it

must visit one day

When hazard spells 

WE

 Oakland Dust

a new epicurean product

"Best Way to Rub Your Meat"

reads their tasteful slogan

3.

Shattuck Avenue

 12 Bus line

Boppin neighborhood spot

  Dry Garden Center

Not just where it's headed

Where it's at

Now

(dig Bullwinkle sun)

 

We're all Nomads now

High Noon in Muffler-town

Hand-painted business

 

Silent 

unprecipitous clouds

over the drying landscape

People need green grass

Quoth the Raven,
Nevermore
