Oakland Neighborhoods
Oakland’s Neighborhoods contains brief histories of all the neighborhoods, maps to assist you in locating those ‘hoods, wonderful historic photographs, and creative writing by residents about their neighborhoods.
Oakland Hills
This photographic book covers Montclair, Rockridge, Glenview, Redwood Heights, Oakmore, Dimond, Trestle Glen and many other neighborhoods and has a special chapter on the 1991 firestorm.
Montclarion Columns
My column Looking Back, written about Oakland history, has appeared in the Montclarion newspaper since July of 1999. If you click below, you’ll be able to read a small selection of columns. The Montclarion is part of the Contra Costa Times, and you can click here to see the most recent column online—click on the Montclarion masthead once you arrive, and then scroll down until you see my byline. Unfortunately, you will need to register (it’s free), and the historical photographs that appear in the print version don’t appear online.
