JUNE 17 RECONNAISSANCE RIDE
Temescal Street Fair:
People have been asking us, SO what about North Oakland? Even though we live have lived in North Oakland for about 20 years, we, along with others, have questions about its boundaries and ever-changing characteristics. But for this project, because we are interested in exploring the idea of being a local tourist, we wanted to focus on areas of the city that are unfamiliar to us.
June 17th was the third annual Temescal Street Fair. We thought this event would provide an interesting opportunity for conversation. The day was glorious: the sun was brilliant, the air was hot and crisp. A good day for a festival. The atmosphere was almost electric with excitement. It is amazing how the closing off of a major street changes the community dynamic. People really enjoyed being able to freely walk about Telegraph Avenue.
