ABC Wednesday: U is for Uptown Oakland

Somewhere along the way when I wasn't looking, part of downtown Oakland became Uptown.  Don't ask me how.  Uptown represents a loosely defined area beginning about 17th Street and going to about West Grand and between Broadway and San Pablo Avenue.  For decades it's been a sketchy area and is now being transformed into a hip, boho community.  It is full of art galleries, restaurants and cafes, and new condos and apartment buildings.  It can still be sketchy late at night, but less so now.  This club is in the wonderful cobalt and silver deco building shown previously.  For more ABC Wednesday U photos, click here.
