More News from Joana Adler
First, let's get the bad over with... there is a community meeting MONDAY, MAR 28th at 6pm in the Waterfront Hotel's Regatta Room regarding a possible serial rapist in the area. There have been 3 rapes - one in September at 5th & Webster (under the freeway), one in December at 5th & Union (close to West Oakland Bart), and another one in February again at 5th & Webster. Please attend and get some pointers of what to do and what not to do and what the police know and find out how we can be better informed.
Wednesday, March 30th - Oak to 9th Public Meeting at the Jack London Aquatic Center. 5:30pm - 9:30pm
On Thursday, March 31st there will be a SINGLES mixer at the Cuckoo's Nest (247 Fourth Street, ground floor of Fourth Street Lofts) for those singles in the District. I keep hearing from all the singles out there that they aren't meeting other singles, so this is your chance. The Cuckoo's Nest opened in 1992 and serves beer, wine, and a variety of yummy food.
Subway has opened at 366 Madison in the Sierra Building. Owner Jagjit Singh promises that we'll love the oven toasted sandwiches!
I see the Sierra Deli & Market looks very close to opening, but no official word yet - if someone has official word, please send it to feedback@jacklondondistrict.org.
