The Fox Theatre in Oakland on Telegraph ave has been closed since 1970, and has pretty much been an eye sore for decades. It's a 3800 seat Theatre which was built in 1928, and went through many changes is ownership until the city of Oakland purchased it.  Now, with the help of "Friends Of The Oakland Fox" it is planning to reopen and house the Oakland School of the Arts.

Friends of the Oakland Fox is a non-profit organization that is trying to raise $1,000,000 to rehabilitate the building. American Express recently donated $75,000 to the fund, and hopefully other donors will help them reach the goal.

As I'm sure you have heard, early in the morning on Sunday April 29 a diesel truck caught fire and burned a large section of the freeway near the maze. The fire was so intense it caused the section to collapse. It's estimated that the loss in productivity is costing the bay area 4-6 million dollars a day....wow. I knew that it was gonna be a big deal, until something like that happens it's hard to guage exactly how something like that will impact our city. I don't know many people who commute in a car to SF and back, so I personally havent heard any nightmare stories but Im sure there are plenty to be found.
