Oakland Tribune Outtakes

Overheard: “Why do you want to make more poop?” — a parks and rec worker on the idea of restoring the charmingly abandoned McElroy fountain in Lakeside park, which she feared would attract birds…and what they tend to leave behind.

Spotted: “Oakland: When San Francisco just isn’t good enough” — bumper sticker slogan.

Rumored: “The best thing about San Francisco is that you can see Oakland from there” — said to be another bumper sticker slogan by same artist.
