San Lorenzo's Pre-1940 Fire Station to Be Replaced

Alameda County Fire Department plans to replace Fire Station 22 in San Lorenzo, a facility that has served the community since before 1940. The existing Station 22 is a modest structure by modern firehouse standards. According to the Alameda County Fire Department, the building was constructed before 1940, received an addition in 1963, and now measures just 3,967 square feet. It houses one Type I Engine company and responds to downtown, residential, and business areas of San Lorenzo. The department doesn’t even own the building outright — it leases the station from the San Lorenzo Homeowners Association.

Oakland’s Tiniest Bakery Gears Up for a Big Thanksgiving

One of the Bay Area’s tiniest and most beloved bakeries is hidden away, literally underground, in an Oakland basement. If it weren’t for the customers who routinely line up on the sidewalk outside, most people wouldn’t ever guess that Gregory’s Gourmet Desserts even exists. “Only two persons inside at a time,” the sign taped to the door stipulates. Once you step inside, the reason for the rule becomes self-evident: The bakery can’t hold much more than that. Not “so much a store as it is a storage nook,” as I wrote after my first visit back in 2014.
