Alameda

Yesterday we went to Alameda and I felt a lot more comfortable there. I have been visiting Alameda all my life. Especially when I was younger, we would go to the beach with my family alot. The street that we were actually walking on is actually the main street that I go to. We usually go there because I have a friend that works at a Crepe shop and my sister has shows at a near by club/bar, Roosters.

Its not exactly like Oakland, you see alot more white people there, but its not all that different. The shops there arent too expensive but alot of people said that it was a pretty safe environment to be in and its only a couple miles away. Just a quick drive across the bridge.

I like going to Alameda because just in that one main street you can find just about anything. Theres coffee shops, book shops, clothing stores, shoes stores, nail shops, ice cream shops, comic book store, karate school, antique shops, different restaurants, and so much more. Then if you take the bus or drive for a couple minutes you can get to South Shore where all the stores are at. Petco, Mervyns, Walgreens, Trader Joe's are all on the same shopping center.

We also went to the Alameda beach. I used to go there alot when I was little but I hadn't gone there in hella long. I never learned how to swin and I've never really liked to get in the water so I didnt even get close to the water. It was nice to just sit there for a little while and just think to myself.
