Today’s must-read: Tony Daysog’s got crime stats
In case you haven’t seen it yet, former City Councilman Tony Daysog has his own blog, westalameda.com, intended to boost the West End of the Island.
This week Tony sent us an e-mail to let us know he’s done a rundown on violent crime here in Alameda, using the FBI’s violent crime statistics from 2000 to [...]
Knifecatchers returns
I got a nice note the other day from local blogger L Opine saying L’s restarted the Knifecatchers real estate blog.
L halted the blog in late May after one too many running gun battles with commenters who took issue with the site’s snarky take on local home listings and a bruising feud with East Bay [...]
In Alameda

John Oldham’s brand-new site promises to dish up some informed perspective on real estate issues that affect us locally (kind of like Rob Siltanen does for schools over at School 94501/94502).
Per Oldham:
It is my intent to create a blog [...]
Comment: Who I am, why I’m here
Alameda is blessed with an abundance of bloggers.

Last week, that discussion [...]
