“In Portland, you can put a bird on something and just call it art.” In Oakland, someone can put some shit on a shopping cart, leave it on the street and you can’t be sure whether or not it is art.
I work in Fruitvale, and I can attest to the veracity of this statement.
Let’s start with a classic. Oakland residents are nothing if not able to make fun of our city. I’m not convinced this humor is entirely tongue-in-cheek, but I do love laughing at SF hipsters!
The best thing about San Francisco is that you can see Oakland from there.
