You can blame Michael Bauer for that! With the coming of Flora, he seems to have just discovered recently that downtown Oakland has existed all along. Then again, his coverage outside of SF and Napa has always been pretty spotty. I’m really glad to hear Flora is doing well, it’s exciting to see the area blossom into a vibrant neighborhood.

Google Maps just recently updated its Bay Area satellite maps… which is actually the reason why that East Bay BRT map I promised awhile back isn’t ready to go yet. But I can’t tell you how glad I was to see that instead of parking lots, the satellite showed Uptown under construction instead.

I’m starting to get really excited about the Uptown complex. Though I’ve been watching the progress daily, I had somehow forgotten about all the retail space that’s being included, until the glass windows went up a couple weeks ago. We really could use some more stores and restaurants in the area. Flora’s getting too crowded!
