What you see is what you get with Oakland - and that's why it's great. My family has lived here since the Gold Rush, so needless to say there's some magnetism associated with the city (please don't call it the Town).

I've tried on other cities, New York and Paris, but Oakland is truly a place to call home.

Undiscovered jewels of Oakland are around nearly every corner, and it's gritty underbelly is tempered by gorgeous architecture, world-class ethnic food, and incredibly friendly residents.

My 2 cents!
