Good shopping center in the Fruitvale District…read more The big stores here are FoodMaxx, KG Fashion Superstore and AutoZone. There are also some small stores, a bank and GameStop, along with places to eat, so you could get a lot done here if you want. I used to come here often when I lived nearby and this shopping center wasn't built up as much as it is now. I think it's great that they really improved this area.

Sketchers Outlet, Foodmaxx, Popeyes, Starbucks. Nothing too unique but the stores here are probably…read moreeverything you would ever need. Ross and Smash Burger (coming soon) and a Hawaii BBQ spot. A donut spot. Lots of places but nothing really worth going out of your way for. Just familiar chains. Lots of parking. There is a "laundromat" there - I think its just a disguise for the police station there. Should be fairly safe - I just imagine that police eat donuts all night long behind the boarded up windows that are off to the side of the laundromat.

I attended the Inaugural Tequila & Mezcal festival in downtown Alameda…read more The event started on Alameda Avenue where ID's were checked, tickets were scanned, wristbands were provided and lanyards for the event that included a map of where to stop for drink tasting and snacks were provided. There were 15 stops within downtown Alameda surrounding Park Street to stop and try Tequila and Mezcal. Each stop, most of them were table set outside offered food to go with the tasting of alcohol. Of all the stops I was able to visit there were a few that stood out! At Tomatina the meatball was good. Daisy's had my favorite Tequila of night, Moxies offered a slice of tender beef covered with mole , La Penca Azul offered chicken flautas, La Lena offered chicken or corn tostados and Dragon Rouge offered potstickers and noodles. Everything we ate was good and I enjoyed getting to try many types of tequilas and mezcals, I'd never had. I'd definitely go again for a fun and festive outing!

I enjoy the Park Street Landing for at least five impossible things after breakfast…read more The last reason I come here is to shop at AutoZone. I can park up close to the entrance doors. Drinking and dancing was probably my favorite thing to do here. That combination is no more as of late. A more frequently used excuse to come here is to spend 10 minutes in Dollar Tree. Peruse the place before going to eat and I never use a bag here so I restrict my purchase volume capacity. Lingering (ie legal loitering) is okay. Wondering about the moment while taking in the views and sounds along the waterfront is usually easy. There is a shoreline parking space. Maybe a tall boat will open the Park Street Bridge. Socializing and eating at places here is my number one combination of a reason for enjoying Park Street Landing.

I mainly come here for O'Reily's Auto Parts, A-Town Pizza, and Dollar Tree. There's also an ACI (local trash svc) office here. Other businesses include: Enterprise Rent a Car, tax services, salons, martial arts and the Dragon Rouge restaurant. The Dragon Rouge is behind the auto parts store and along the waterfront. Detailed listing of Park Street Landing: https://downtownalameda.com/news/welcome-park-street-landing/ The big issue with this place is parking and traffic. Not enough parking and lots of traffic on Blanding Ave.

I was in search of some skin care items and after seeing the face roller at so many different Ross…read morelocations for months I've wanted one but haven't felt like going into Ross. I was nearby and told myself, " It's either now or you're ordering online and waiting for shipping time." We don't all use amazon prime for everything - the majority of items though, yes! I walked in and went straight to the body care/skin care section on the right. There was a large stock of lotions, but not so much the face roller and ice roller. I got the last of each. There weren't many cashiers when i got to the line, but they called another associate to the register and she was getting through the line fast. I was in line for no more than 5 minutes with about 7 customers ahead of me. It was an average experience, hence the 3 stars.

Charming, eclectic, beautiful, and always full of unexpected treasures. I always find something special here: beautiful soaps and oils, fun nostalgic T-shirts, and the cutest cat-themed pieces. We've found cat earrings that my daughter absolutely loves seeing me wear, and this time I found the most gorgeous black cat scarf for her. ‍ And of course, I always manage to find something for myself too. This visit it was three camisoles that I can wear under things or on their own, practical and fun at the same time as it takes me back in time. Marty has such a wonderful eye for unique pieces, and every visit feels like a little treasure hunt. It's one of those special Alameda shops that just keeps me happy that I hope doesn't go away!

Walking down Park on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon, I peeked into what was the back entrance of a…read morecute vintage shop. Really, I thought immediately the place was out of my price range, but a friendly stranger told me I should go look inside, offering that you could do cute date nights and make your own scents here, but then she assured me the place was black owned, and I HAD to at least see what gems were hiding inside. And there were so many! Bath salts you could mix to bring home, an oil scent lab, and all sorts of adorable accessories that caught my eye: lacy socks, perfect for Docs; some earrings at a great price point; and some sunglasses that no one else will be wearing ANYWHERE, for a mere $20! The woman working the store was just so friendly, and told us to cash is Queen in here store, if you know what I mean? But, I've found my favorite place to invest my modest disposable income at when I'm in Alameda. I'll be back to crate an oil scent roller...for $15! That's absurd. And it was sweet the store has my father's name: To Herb With Love. My mom must've been sending me angel messages.
