Drab, dated, tired old strip mall in need of help. Forgotten and not loved - dark and near…read morelifeless. Cold and spooky strip mall. GHost mall. Come here after 10pm and completely dead. Come here any time in the day and it's not much better. A third rate grocery store, a thrift shop selling discarded goods for top dollar and a gym nobody ever heard about before. Why would anybody come here? Well, beside Sherwin Williams and the little bar that serves pizza no reason to besides EVgo. Turns out the best superchargers are the ones in the worst malls because they are always empty. The landing by Target is a more popular place - and I used to go the years ago before everybody started driving EVs. Not long ago I heard somebody pulling out a gun because somebody cut in line there. No worries here next to the research park. No lines no waiting no crazy people.

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.

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.

I've been here only for the Bingo. But walked into the grocery store directly before for a drink or…read moresnack or whatever - since the snack bar at bingo isn't all that. The remodeled shopping center looks great. Visually lots of upgrades and some much needed stores. The grocery store is particularly appreciated for nearby residents. I know certain neighborhoods can become food deserts where fast food junk is the only option. Security guards are around which is great. I've never had any issues with my cars while parked and at Bingo but I know a friend who has. I'm convinced it has to do with his fancy flashy car - a Camaro - it is just asking for attention. Sometimes attention can be good. Sometimes attention can be bad. Under some circumstances its best to be invisible. I think there is a Ross and a Devita blood dialysis place there. All places that are great to have in a mostly residential neighborhood.

This is a very nice shopping center in North Oakland!!…read more Safeway is the main store here and the biggest, and there are also plenty of places to eat here including Panda Express, Best Coast Burritos, and Boston Market. There's also Jamba, Starbucks, and Chase bank. The parking lot can get a little tight sometimes, but it's manageable. I come here mostly for Jamba and Safeway. Best Coast Burritos is pretty good also. I remember this place before they renovated it, it's much better now!!

Shopping center with Safeway and many other places. All chains nothing really unique or…read moreinteresting. Only plus is that it's new. Chase, panda express, best coast burritos, laser away, the habit grill, cleaners, great clips. Trees in parking lot are new. Not a fan of the sycamore trees and all the seeds they dump. I don't know why cities plant those things. Clog my cabin air filter if I park there. Give people allergies. Borderline pest species. Plus every seed makes another tree. Neighbor has one. Seems invasive.

The Oakland City Center is always super clean!!…read more The 12th Street Bart Station is located just down the stairs, and this place is right in the middle of Downtown Oakland. Old Oakland and Oakland Chinatown are just a few blocks away. Lots of small places to eat here, although most are closed during the weekend. You can tell this is a major lunch area during the week for businesses located here and the surrounding area. I think if they promoted this place a little better, it has the potential to be a very popular place, mostly because it is so aesthetically pleasing!!

This is a review of the outdoor, multilevel mall, which confusingly has the same name as the larger…read moretwelve-block redeveloped area of Downtown Oakland in which it sits. I don't know anything about the history of that redevelopment--it's from the 1950s, so it was probably bad--this is just my take on the mall. Between 2003 and 2006, when I was still relatively new to the Bay Area and to riding BART, this place would have garnered four stars. I was in high school and college in the 1990s, and everything about this place screamed '90s, from the public art to the fountain to the fun multiple levels. A legitimately outdoor mall that descends underground yet still has plenty of sunlight and open space? Sign me up!--or at at least, I'll eat my lunch here! And I did. I had an internship nearby one summer, and I ate lunch here pretty often, and when that was over and I worked seasonally at UC Berkeley, I would often stop here on the way home and visit La Salsa--remember La Salsa? The memories of those mid-aughts days still make me smile, like playing Street Fighter III: Third Strike. I also used the FedEx Office (then called FedEx Kinko's) a few times for work and grad school. The mall itself is still remarkably clean, but it's also hugely depressing because there are so few businesses left. Go to their website right now. The three categories listed are dining, services, and shopping. There are a few dining and services options remaining, but there is a single shopping option: Walgreens. That's right; in this entire mall, the only place you can buy a non-food-related gift for someone else is a drugstore. I can't say that the mall ever felt terribly crowded, but when I would come here during the day, there were people eating at the tables and sitting on the benches and walking around. Its proximity to BART* should guarantee it lots of business, but alas, I guess enough people are still working from home that businesses just can't survive here. It's a shame, too, because it really is a nice space. Online shopping really has reduced social interactions with strangers and has ruined social cohesion in many ways. *The 12th Street/Oakland City Center BART Station has an exit right into the lowest part of Oakland City Center.

The largest one is on second floor where you can get dimsum and also Hong Kong Style dishes. We like to stop by to sit and relax and also get some roast pork and Char Siu from one of the restaurant. Not many places in Oakland chinatown where you can sit and relax. I think this is the one. it has library and also parking garage. the parking is $2 for 30 min. it is convenience and only about $1 more an hour compare to parking on the street.

Great concept to have convenient living. Parking garage is convenient for people visiting the area from a little ways away. A lot of China town is closed in the evenings - very early. After 5pm things are closed down. There were two police cars stationed around the Plaza. Very safe feeling. Good parking too. That felt extra safe - so much better than parking in the streets. Overall the place needs a little new life brought into it. Some reimagining and maybe new trendy stores.

The decorator "Clara" who was assigned called an hour before the appointment and canceled. She said she was in her call and couldn't talk, but said she would call me to reschedule. I assumed she would call the same day. Instead, she called me 4 days later. I called and complained to Penneys. A "manager" called me back and left a voice mail message saying "Clara" is the only employee in the East Bay. We bought our house 29 years ago and Penneys sold us window coverings for the whole house. Years later we hired them again to replace most of the first original ones. Now I will never hire Penneys again. There employees are totally unreliable and the company just doesn't care about being in this business.
