Oakland First Thoughts // October
It’s the smell that is the most unique and striking feature —I’ve been around architecture like this, I’ve been in socio-economical areas such as this, I’ve met people similar, and even been in cities with a very similar vibe and aura — but the smell is singularly Oakland.
