Alameda and Alameda Beach





Going to Alameda was good I had being there before to the same area. I knew that it was diverse I saw Latinos, African American, Asians, and more.
I saw many clothing stores and food restaurant there were some fast food like Jack in the box, KFC, and Subway. One person we interview said that we used to live in Lake Merritt but he moved to Alameda because he was mug getting of the bart and got jumped as well. Maybe it is safety a reason why many people move they no longer feel safe in their community after the events that have happen. You could find expensive clothes there are not marks in clothing like Ecko, Phat Farm, and much more.
I think that Alameda was nice it was calm something funny was that in a corner you see a Starbucks and in front of the other corner there is a Peet’s coffee. This shows that there are stores that are looking for competition on who makes the most profit. Some of the people we interview said that they rent there home. The question is why do they rent a house if it isn’t there on property it is better to owned your home. Some of the interviews said that they have a car to drive others take public transportation like walking, bicycle, or the bus.
After doing the interviews the teachers took us to the beach so we took the 50 bus to get there. It was fun going to the beach there was a lot of water and it wasn’t that cold it was okay. The nice thing was seeing the beautiful view of the beach you saw the waves, building like a landscape, birds, and more. It is good to go to the beach especially during the summer it can get full and people are swimming or relaxing from a break.
