A Jingletown sunrise (2016).

(I lived for fifteen years in a sprawling old loft in Oakland's Jingletown district before being priced out by an overnight 50% rent hike a bunch of years ago).

welcome to jingletown
Wikipedia: "Jingletown's name originates from a habit of nearby mill workers, largely males of Azorean Portuguese background, who would jingle the coins from a week's work in their pockets as they walked to display their prosperity.[9][10] In the late 1950s and 1960s many of the Portuguese families began moving out of Jingletown—and Chicano and Latino families, many displaced from West Oakland by urban renewal, began moving to Jingletown."

So delighted to jump in and help our friends clean up the Art Wall in Oakland's fabled Jingletown District. Weeding, mulching and removing invasive plant species.

A great time with fantastic people making a difference, great job crew!

A wintry sunset at the ConAgra grain elevator. One of the icons of Jingletown, this is a building that'll feature endlessly here over the years (sorry!). This one's taken from the Embarcadero, around 2001 I think.

A large pale urban grain elevator rises up in the middle distance next to an urban road; it's just finished raining, the light's wintry (because it's December).

As long promised, I've created a separate BlueSky account for the quotidian photos from my time in Oakland's once-industrial Jingletown district as it gentrified around me (2001-2016). Take a look and follow me there if it seems interesting…

Sunrise, Tiki Tom's, Jingletown, Oakland (2015?). Right next to the Park Street Bridge (the green structure on the right), it burned down in suspicious circumstances some time after I took this photo.

A large green and yellow inflatable frog with a white sheet advertising sale prices on its chest looms up behind a low-slung windowless yellow Estuary-side building — Tiki Tom's — next to an old green bascule drawbridge on the shores of Oakland Estuary. It's early morning.

The Cemex plant, 23rd Avenue, Jingletown (with a bit of the ConAgra grain elevator poking through on the left); 2002.

A concrete plant looms up over 23rd Avenue — tubing, mini silos, tanks, a control cab, angled elevators, etc.

After the rain (2002). Typical bit of Estuary-side vacant land back then… there was a lot of vacant land around back then, some of it badly contaminated.

#jingletown #photography #oakland
Some sort of strongly-built storeroom or shed stands on rain-wetted and partially overgrown concrete next to the Estuary somewhere in or near Jingletown. In the immediate foreground, a wire fence topped with barbed wire.

All the talk about ICE protests in Alameda and .. that's not Alameda. I lived there for a decade. Where they are is a part of Oakland called Jingletown and the fact that everyone could be saying "Jingletown" 20x a day and aren't is a tragedy.
