Want to kow more about Oakland, CA? F*** yeah you do! This is a side-by-side comparison of the unsightly and the urbane in the city described by urban dictionary as "the only city with more flying bullets than trees. Murder Capital of the world and proud of it." And just to make sure we are on the same page, I am again using Urban Dictionary for the definition of ghetto: "(adj.) jury-rigged, improvised, or home-made (usually with extremely cheap or sub-standard components), yet still deserving of an odd sense of respect from ghetto dwellers and non-ghetto dwellers alike." Welcome to my 'hood, mutha******s
Ghetto: City of Oakland Official Website
Geh-tow! Rates low on user-friendliness and even lower on aesthetics. Looks like they couldn’t get any nice photos of the city, so they used some cartoons to break up the text. This website designer should probably be banned from the internets.
Not Ghetto: City of San Francisco Website
Montage of the Golden Gate? Check. Great layout? Check. Splashy pictures of Mayor Newsom’s handsome mug? Several. This website’s got it all.

Ghetto!
Because this guy will be there, with a bunch of his friends. He was there in line with me when we had to go through the metal detector . . . Not so ghetto-fabulous moment? When we were told we had to remove our shoes. Yeeeeeeecth.
That’s what I get for not repairing that stupid brake light.

Check the Oakland library"
out (ha-ha, that’s a pun – word). Totally not ghetto – it even houses two museums. This is an amazing resource to have access to!

Oakland Art scene
OK while I don’t want to take away any street cred., the art in Oakland is a transcendent and inspiring mix of cultural grit – def. not ghetto. At any given time, there are many accessible installations throughout the city, plus Art Walk every Friday night, plus open studio week in September. Check out the happening spots listed below.
There is a movement going on, people. Pay attention.

Ghetto: the Oakland A's
Not a winning season this season. Everyone gets traded faster than I can remember their names. Have you seen the stadium? There were high schools where I grew up with better stadiums. Ahhh, but hot dogs are still $1 and you can still get same-day tickets for $10. I have all the ghetto love for my Athletics!!
Really Ghetto: the Oakland Raiders
Um, anyone catch Sunday’s game against the Falcons? Let’s just say our local paper’s sports page ran one headline: “Embarrassment”. Each year, the Raiders lead the entire league in penalties. Now that’s ghetto!
McAfee Coliseum

Really, Really, Ridiculously Ghetto: Raiders fans
After posting those last two entries, Karey Ann has been forced into the Anti-Silver&Black Protection Program. Though you may see her walking around town with a Raiders parka wearing black and silver face paint, these are all steps toward her re-immersion into a hostile society – in effect, desperate attempts to lead a normal life.

Not ghetto!
Well planned out, well manicured, a desirable area for frustrated young urban dwellers to actually have a prayer of buying property. Go, Oakland!

Ghetto!! I went to a show down here with some friends . . . it was in an empty warehouse. This place is SCARY, dude. One of those places where you could hide a body or a kilo of coke for a long, long time.

Kinda Ghetto: Oakland dining
From Ethiopian to Peruvian, Oakland has an amazing array of eats from around the world; not to mention edible goodies of the “mundane” nationalities: French, Italian, and Californian cuisine.
Eateries’ ambiance range from uber-shee-shee to absolute mess, but poor meals are rare across the board, so don’t be afraid to hit that hole in the wall.
Murder, musical-style
It looks like Chicago has the lead on being the murda capital in 2008, so put that in yur crack pipe and smoke it, yo
