Towne Crier #16
We have new neighbors in Loft #307, which used to be occupied by Cho Kwan Accounting. T.J. BECKER, wife CORRIE, daughter MADELEINE (6 1/2 years old) and their whippet BOWIE. They have been here two months. Welcome!
CHO KWAN moved his firm down to Sierra Lofts and he's on Fourth Street in #111.
Next door to Kwan is a brand new hair salon, Amanda's, which just opened in #112.
STOP!
Next time you're walking around the corner, check out the intersection at Third and Alice. Notice we now have two Stop signs on Third Street, on either side of Alice. They were installed early Thursday morning. We now have a safer four-way stop intersection, free of barreling trucks, speeding noisy motorcycles, and hotrodders. Thanks go to JOANNA ADLER of Jack London Mail who lobbied the City for the past 18 months to install the signage.
OAKLAND MUSEUM
The Oakland Museum is located at 1000 Oak Street, a nice walk from us.

MORE ARTISTIC ENDEAVORS
Glassmaker ESTEBAN PRIETO, artist GEN OBATA, and jewelry maker NORI OBATA, will be holding a Studio Art Sale at Old Studio, 1792 - 12th Street in Oakland two weekends this month - 12-13 June and 19-20 June, 10am-5pm. Prieto makes blown glass tumblers, Gen Obata illustrates books and note cards, and Nori Obata makes glass bead jewelry.
Next door at New Market Lofts will be Open Studio this weekend and next, 11am to 6pm, at 201-4th Street in Loft #403. Erin's open studio is part of the East Bay Open Studio, staged by Pro Arts. It has a Preview Exhibition at its new location, 550 Second Street.
Pro Arts is in the Iron Works Building at Second and Clay Streets, across the street from Cost Plus Imports. In the same building is the Ironworks shop (which used to be next door and was then called Whales and Friends). On the other side of the Ironworks shop is Bed, Bath and Beyond.
Next week, Metrovation Brokerage is holding an open house to showcase the Ironworks Building, Friday night 11 June 2004 1-5pm and Saturday 12 June 2004 9am-12 noon. Come in the Ironworks Building at 580 Second Street. Go in the main entrance, go upstairs and turn right. The Metrovation office is down the hall on the left - #260.
MISSING IN ACTION
All of the shopping carts have been missing from the garage for at least a fortnight. The residents would really appreciate their return.
PEANUTS - NOT!
Styrofoam peanuts do NOT belong in any of the recycling bins. And they are better served being recycled than dumping in the trash compactor. Jack London Mail around the corner accepts them for recycling. Do yourself and all of us a favor and recycle rather than trash them.
HAVE A NICE WEEKEND!
