Piedmont Avenue. Rockridge. East Oakland and Telegraph Avenue. Nowhere is safe. Every night there's a new robbery.
When I woke up this morning, Adam said: "Another one." A pizzeria. Less than 24 hours later, at 5 pm tonight, a nail spa on Telegraph got hit.
After dinner we decided to go hang out at a cafe. We considered our options: The Beanery on College? No, too close to Oakland. Also out was Hudson Bay further down College in Rockridge. Gaylords might be safe -- people outside could call 911 on their cell phones if something went down. We settled on Cafe Mediterraneum near the Berkeley campus.
You shouldn't have to shuffle the cards to figure out the safest place to get an Italian soda. I fear this is going to get worse before it gets better, and I just pray no one I love gets caught in the crossfire.
