Many people in Oakland agree that it would be nice not to have to go to Emeryville to shop in a big box store. 

Why can't we have Best Buy, Target and H&M right here in downtown Oakland, they ask? Oakland's Urban Economic Coordinator, Aliza Gallo, is one of the people who definitely see that need.

Sunday morning I joined a number of other Bay Area food bloggers and writers for a special tasting at Caffe 817 in Old Oakland. I'd been there some years back, but I heard new owners had purchased it and it was definitely worth checking out again.
