Neighborhoods[edit]

The current list of neighborhoods from the Oakland Museum is a list of small townships that were annexed by Oakland when it grew. While that's interesting and should probably be preserved, most of these are not in use today. According to that list, I live in Meadowbrook, but I've never heard it called that. Wish I had, I kind of like it! Eastlake is the official name of the district along International Blvd from 1st Avenue to 14th Avenue, as evidenced by the "Eastlake" banners that the city has hung from all the lamp-posts. And, while it is not an official name, any resident in the 20's (20th - 29th Avenues) has heard it called "Murder Dubbs", and I think it deserves mention in this article.

I should also note that the Oakland Museum credits this division of neighborhoods to Fern Tiger Associates, and was done as part of a city planning effort to plant more trees. I just think the article should reflect how the residents have come to know their neighborhood. Steve Carlson^Talk 00:06, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Jingletown?[edit]

Why is Jingletown listed here? Isn't it that area btwn Fruitvale and East Alameda? Or am I confused? 64.142.13.147 21:35, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Admittedly, it's pretty murky. I moved it here from Fruitvale because it's not really part of the Fruitvale area. It would certainly have a home in the East Oakland article, but I wanted to be more specific. As the San Antonio area is defined as the area from Lake Merritt to Sausal Creek (roughly 29th Ave), I believe that Jingletown (the area from 23rd to 29th Aves between E. 12th St. and the 880) is part of this district.

What I'm beginning to see here is that there is no coherent or commonly accepted way of dividing up Oakland into a hierarchy of geographical regions. If the city council districts had names, I might suggest those as starting points, but alas, they do not. Any thoughts/ideas? Steve Carlson^Talk 04:32, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge from: The Twomps, Oakland, California[edit]

This article (San Antonio) has about as much information on the subject as The Twomps has. If we merge and copy-edit the content we get two good paragraphs, which will fit nicely in this article. It will also have the context that it needs. And it will probably attract more good contributions for the other neighbourhoods. Let's merge. -- Pepve (talk) 22:42, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The articles have been merged (not by me, note, I'm actually only passing by). -- Pepve (talk) 20:42, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Twomps[edit]

Is the area known as Brooklyn really the same geographic area as the Twomps? I thought Brooklyn was the old name for Haddon Hill (the hill overlooking the lake) that actually has a street called Brooklyn running through it. Also, my impression is that Funktown is adjacent to the Twomps, but not the same thing (further west)? Finally, do the various names for this area need to be in bold? They kind of scream, unnecessarily so. Steve Carlson^Talk 04:01, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Jingletown Housing Project[edit]

OK, so I have reverted someone deleting the statement about the housing project in Jingletown 3 times now. It's referenced, so I have every reason to believe it's true. So why do people keep deleting it? Is this somehow offensive? If anybody has a problem with this, can we please have a discussion about it rather than just anonymously blanking the statement without justification in the edit comments? Thank you! Steve Carlson^Talk 04:04, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Happened again. Please stop!!! Steve Carlson^Talk 09:02, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And again. Steve Carlson^Talk 00:37, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, whoever you are, for adding content that balances the JT housing project statement instead of deleting it! Although it does need a citation... Steve Carlson^Talk 21:32, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

proposed merger with article about Brooklyn[edit]

I see on the Brooklyn article a note that it has been suggested to merge that article with the one about San Antonio. In fact San Antonio merged into Brooklyn, so it seems to me that the merger would go the other way, if at all. I vote against a merger, it seems that the two were separate and distinct for enough time as to merit separate listings. --Mdukas (talk) 21:34, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No due to the fact that they are different districts. House1090 (talk) 04:24, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
