While I'm fretting over Oaklandish things, the Arks are still around (between the High Street & Fruitvale Bridges into Alameda), but seem to be still on the demolition block. One of the residents had a one-shot blog. I've posted on the Arks before (4/25/06 & 7/12/06) but haven't heard or read anything new since. The Arks apperently were Oakland artist central: where the vaudevilian, painterly, dancerly, writer, artist types hung out at one time or another. Jack London used to spend some of his nights sleeping on couches (repeatedly).
