625 PARTIES registered last night for Oaklands National Night Out, estimated 30,000 RESIDENTS participating. Almost no media coverage, but I can tell you the fellowship, diversity of activities and food gets better every year. More photos from around the City from my staff (on 8th, 46th & Linden, Ivanhoe, 56th & Broadway, Gwinn) I visited 15 sites personally with a few drive by stops in addition. Together our office visited overt 40 plus parties. Despite some drizzle in a few places parties went on and in many places seemed bigger and more diverse than ever. In dense areas like North Oakland and Maxwell Park it felt like a party on every street. Good job Oakland! We know the friendships and bonds made last night will keep us all safer and closer all year long.
