  1. SPORTS: If you’re a sports fan, you probably know Oakland, California<\/a>\u00a0 fairly well. Maybe you watch ball games with hometown teams- Oakland Athletics, Oakland Raiders, and Golden State Warriors.<\/li>\n
  2. OAKLAND AIRPORT: If you’re a commuter on business, you’ll often pick Oakland Airport over San Francisco so you have a better chance of making it to your meeting on time (SFO often gets fogged in or has fog delays that can last past noon.)<\/li>\n
  3. UC BERKELEY: If you’re a college student at UC Berkeley, Oakland just kind of blends into the college town next door.<\/li>\n
  4. AMTRAK: If you’re a train passenger, Oakland has a really nice terminal within walking distance to hotels and restaurants. From Oakland you get around the state without driving a car. You can even visit Yosemite National Park!<\/li>\n
  5. THINGS TO DO:\u00a0 Home to Yoshi’s, bringing hot jazz home to the natives and visitors, it is part of Oakland’s cultural blend that combines great food, music and Lake Merritt<\/a>. (Don’t forget to see Oakland Zoo.) Get to know Oakland’s attractions and unique architecture–very charming.<\/li>\n
