    • Agreed, nothing good ever comes out of this guy even at his age. He is a true threat to society everywhere he goes.

    • Lived at 40th and Telegraph in front of MacArthur BART. Quick drinking and got so fat off those donuts from the Vietnamese bakery across the street. Got hooked into them payday loans at the Check n’ Go next door. I miss Oasis, Wednesday night poetry at Air Lounge, Easy Lounge, Arsimona, walks around Lake Merritt, the swap meet at Laney on Saturdays……I so miss the Town.
