Cut him, or her, or it some slack.

Whatever might have a good source for some cheap horse cock pills.

Despite the much talked about violence of Oakland, I never had any problems with anyone there. The last time I was there, I thought that the city did a great job of making downtown nicer again compared to when I lived there back in the early 1980s.

The 1960s? I always thought I was born a couple decades too late. East Bay in the 1960s must have been, shall I say, fun.
Much of East Oakland has been and still is sinking slowly and steadily, pretty much when the jobs manufacturing things went away. The rest has not been too bad and above the 580 quite nice and downtown really has been reinventing itself.
The Laurel District has been making quite a comeback recently.

The summer of love was just that, well a couple cool years, and then the good left the druggies behind mostly moving up north. The Haight Ashbury at least a tourist trap now and not the drug and homeless haven it was 25 years ago.

No offense Carl, but how old are you? Just curious if you lived in the heyday.

Myself, I'm 58.

Hey, wait a minute, I fall into that group. I suggest under 47. That would be that whole group that graduated HS in the vacuous eighties. The MBA brats from that period still drive me crazy.
