Any suggestions for a fun place nearby to watch the match tonight?

Alameda County District 1 Chief of Staff Shawn Wilson admits to accepting $10k to “consult” for the disgraced Duong family and offer “sponsorships” on their behalf. The Duongs are currently under federal indictment for bribery and wire fraud along with the former mayor of Oakland in connection with their waste management company.

Wilson lied in the article about disclosing this conflict of interest on his form 700 as proved by county records. The press pulled the form and there’s no mention of the Duongs or their company Cal Waste Solutions.

Wilson offered me a bribe earlier this year to silence me about his office pressuring rural D1 residents into paid trash services under false pretenses. You cannot tell me these are unrelated and everything he’s been doing is on the up and up. Wilson admitted to me in his office that he comes from a trash mafia family. This guy is down to clown and everyone knows it.

Why is he not on administrative leave and why is our Board of Supervisors trying to silence the public instead of investigating??

Happy 4th everyone! If I want to see the fireworks at the fair tonight where is the best spot in town to view them that is not the fair? Thanks in advance and enjoy the holiday.

Hi friends! Does anyone have any recommendations for a taco cart to cater on Sunday during the World Cup England v Mexico game? Thank you for any recommendations!

Looking for a gym to lift weights but isn’t crowded at around 5-6pm

Hello so for context I’m trying to buy these specific parts for this Chevrolet traverse but the guy isn’t willing to part it out and only sell it. I don’t wanna buy it and deal with it also because I just need the parts and also I’m 3 Hours away. So what we agreed was if I pay him decent for the parts and whoever takes the car for scrap pays the rest. ($1500)
Gonna take the front seats, brown leather dash, front and back door panels and prob that’s it.
It is a 2016 Traverse
After I would definitely want someone to check it out or bring to them so I can put them in my car to see if it even works.

There seems to be an earthy/grassy taste and odor to it.

Edit: I see another report in the Livermore sub as well.

Hi! Can anyone confirm or deny that fireworks at the fair are still visible in the Harvest Park neighborhood behind the fairgrounds? Thank you!!

To prevent the spread, residents are advised to:

* Dump all standing water around their property
* Apply insect repellents with EPA-registered ingredients like DEET, picaridin, IR3535 or oil of lemon eucalyptus
* Wear long-sleeve pants, shirts, socks, and shoes when mosquitos are most active
* Make sure windows and doors screens and in good condition

The Alameda County fair website is ambiguous about this. Cameras are not listed as a prohibited item on the allowed/not allowed chart.. However, they have a separate webpage “photo policy” wherein they talk about how photography is OK for concerts and on the grounds if you have a ticket, but no “large professional” cameras are allowed. Yet there’s a picture of two people holding a larger camera with a tripod and grinning happily.

Any amateur photographers out there that can share their experience? I shoot with Nikon pro gear.

I am a newbie here in the area and have never been to the fair.
