Oakland, having suffered every mid-20th-century ailment, has
slowly come back to life. It has always been an important African
American cultural center, with music, literature and art flowing through
the city’s tough veins. Oakland, with less than half San Francisco’s
population, has more urban grit and moxie than its bigger neighbor. It
also has a lovely old downtown, with many architectural gems surviving
from the early 20th century, and a sweet little saltwater lake in the
heart of town. It is a city of neighborhood joints, local groceries,
small clusters of clubs and restaurants.
