Alameda has a SHOCKINGLY small town feel to it. Before my sister moved there, I had no idea. Best kept secret in the bay area...

The whole damn town is at the parade - 1/2 are in the parade...

Never thought I'd hear about being a secret. Alameda Navel Air Station? Closed not too long ago. Jason Kidd played ball there. Willie Stargell etc. The most popular beach in the entire east bay is there. AC Transit's most popular bus line goes there (#51). I snapped this while passing:

That's my HOUSE in your pic! Cool, yea the parade was a bit LOOOOG this year but the beer helped. "The Swell" is a bar on Lincoln. I didn't see the "Forbidden Island" bar float this year..... did you? That's Alameda, a small town when you know half the people in the parade.

Then I've probably met you at one of these - my sister introduces me to 200 people every year... sorry if I don't remember...
