"Frank Ogawa Plaza is the heart of downtown civic life. Three major avenues converge on this site to create a dynamic cluster of pedestrian corridors and pocket plazas with seating centered around an enormous oak tree. Eateries, cafes, and city buildings draw many people to cross paths through the terraced space. Unofficially renamed Oscar Grant Plaza during the Occupy movement, this open space has been the epicenter of over 100 years of social justice movements in Oakland." - Arcsine

Frank H. Ogawa was a council member back in the days for many years. This plaza is named after him. I have walked through this plaza ever since the 60's. I was there Sunday for a rally and celebration of the Oakland High Wildcats young men's basketball team and the Oakland Tech Bulldogs young lady's basketball team. Congrats to the two Oakland teams, representing the city and state, as champions. I am aware that the City of Oakland have gotten plenty of negativity in the media, but this event was a positive one and enjoyed by the families and friends of this community and the schools.

Council meetings are rerigged by the new council regarding charter. One minute to speak on huge issues ,council is not fully functional . They quote charter that they changed and they put a shit ton of agenda stuff you want to respond to but your only now allowed to pick 3 topics and get one frickin minute. It took me longer than that to respond to this post . Give the people more voice! The complaint is that meetings run too long ...from executives who were elected to be paid to respond to people that voted for them.

Once again we celebrated Good Friday Service at City Hall and it was wonderful and uplifting all nationalities were present. The rain didn't stop the people from coming. Bishop Bob Jackson did a great job in putting this event together. The ministers who attended brought forth the word and the praise team was awesome.

Where all protests in Oakland gravitate towards. Its civil most times, always full of people, and a great big beautiful Quercus agrifola displayed as part of the city's namesake. A bust of Frank Ogawa sits on the north side of the plaza.

A small triangle park in front of city hall with its signature oak tree. I wish the upkeep of this park was a bit better especially because it’s in front of the city’s seat of power.

I can tell you this in the afternoon. Downtown Oakland is quite quiet. The city went through a major cleanup. Not for the worst, but for the best.
