It finally got filed but it was filed twice which created a mess that they refused to address. I will never use this service again.

We needed a copy of the Daily Journal, stat. In fact we needed several copies. And unless you…read moresubscribe to the journal you need to drop by to pick up a paper from the front receptionist. In person. The Daily Journal is like any other office in this area, you have to check in at the desk, the elevators are posh and secure and all the offices, whether they are or not, look vaguely law officey. It's a little intimidating because it's not a newsstand or check in window, but the woman at the front desk was quick, prompt and friendly, giving the office a welcoming air. The only drawback I found was that they didn't have any sort of change on hand so I couldn't buy as many copies as expected. But we got our copy, so mission completed.

The Alameda Times Star used to be the hometown paper of Alameda. But this Yelp listing shows it's…read moreaddress as being the Tribune Tower in Oakland. Why? Because the Times-Star was acquired by the ANG Newspapers, Inc and it was published at the Tribune building. This version of the Alameda Times-Star lost it's hometown identity, and was pretty much a generic newspaper with a few Alameda articles. I was able to dig up a Sept 2004 edition, and posted a few photos. My favorite part of the paper was the huge Fry's Electronics ad on the backpage. It was no longer a source of Alameda news.

The Alameda Journal (AJ) is not a hometown newspaper…read more The AJ is actually part of the East bay Times Community newspapers group, which covers Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. I don't subscribe to it, but I do occasionally get a free paper on my driveway. It contains local, county and State news. But half the paper is all about ads and real estate. But that's ok, someone has to pay the bills right? I just look at what interests me. I've lived in Alameda for decades, and we no longer have a true home town paper, like we did with the Alameda Times-Star. The closest thing now is the Alameda Sun, and it's website is a wealth of info. There's also lots of Alameda facebook groups where residents chat and post about what's happening right now. Some people use Nextdoor for neighborhood news. So it appears the hometown newspaper has been replaced by social media.

If you are considering purchasing or renting property in this town, make sure that you do not use…read moreany real estate company or person from Alameda. I have lived in Alameda for more than 40 years on and off. My mother died here after being a resident for 45 years. I always read the journal just to see how much money the local real estate thief's are putting into the journals advertisement pockets. Anyone who has been here long enough to be able track the real estate prices for the last 40 years is probably shaking his or her head right now. I remember when a home on central ave. was selling for $ 38,000 just 25 years ago, that is listed right now for $ 660,000. This property is stucco over dry rotted redwood, sheet rocked interior with old tube and knob wiring, a foundation that is brick encased in concrete with minor anchoring and plumbing that is a combination of galvanized supply line, black pipe here and there, or PVC wherever the previous owners could get away with it. It's also listed with that much sought phrase "bonus room " and states that the garage has been converted into a storage area with a separate entrance, plumbing, finished walls , electrical and finished ceilings. This town has 80 + year old wood and stucco homes that are literally held together with either paint, stucco ,an incredible amount of sealant , siding or other creative aesthetic coverings designed to disguise the fact that most of the older wooden structures are dry rotted, insect & mold , mildew troubled structures. Any news about this towns renters , be it complaints about the way the owners treat their tenants, the conditions of some rental complexes on shoreline drive, especially the 40 or more unit complexes that fall into a special city controlled category, the violations being dealt with by our building dept. or important information or news that may help renters is purposely and quickly buried and not reported. I have personally contacted the journals reporter with information regarding massive city code violations, living condition abuse at a complex on shoreline Dr. and was told that the journals revenues are not drawn from complaints but instead from real estate based contributions, and that the complaint path is nonexistent as far as news in the journal.
