@Scott Coulson yep, I'm in West Oakland. I used to live here about that time 1976 1978. I don't remember that much about it from back then but it's probably changed a lot. The base on Alameda is gone well it's still there but the military are gone West Oakland looks the same from what I can tell except for the roads the roads are worse probably from age because it looks like they haven't seen repairs since the 70s
