For those who haven't spotted it already, there's a new place just south of the assigned San Pablo corridor that warrants a visit. It's actually called A PLACE (People Linking Art, Community and Ecology) aka Oakeleyville.
The best way to find out what's going on there is to check the calendar on the website below or join the email list. Tonight for example they had a screening of the documentary, 'End of Suburbia,' (along with a potluck and discussion) in coordination with Transition North Oakland.
Here's part of their "first-ever newsletter" for those interested in checking it out:
Hello Everyone!
3. Sunday Get'ER Done Day:
Here is our first-ever newsletter, to better inform you about the increasing number of ways to participate over at A PLACE for Sustainable Living!
1. *Transition North Oakland would like to invite all of our neighbors to join
us at a PLACE for Sustainable Living for a potluck, film screening and discussion.
*Friday, July 15th, 6:00p.m. to 10:00p.m. *
*Gather for informal conversation and potluck at 6pm. Don't worry if you
can't bring a dish, your presence is enough. Veggie soup will be provided by
Transition North Oakland. Yum!*
*Movie will begin promptly at 7pm. We will be screening the award winning
documentary, "End of Suburbia," followed by Open Space discussion. With
brutal honesty and a touch of irony, "The End of Suburbia" explores the
American Way of Life and its prospects as the planet approaches a critical
era, as global demand for fossil fuels begins to outstrip supply.*
*Sliding-scale donation from $5 to $20; no one
will be turned away for lack of funds.*
