It was always pretty clear to me that Oakland was Brooklyn, West Coast style. Of course Brooklyn's got twice the population (800,000 compared to only 400,000) and an earlier founding date (1646 as Breuckelen compared to 1852 for Oaktown), but did you know that Oakland used to be actually called Brooklyn? If you need further proof, see the list below: Brooklyn (L)/Oakland(R) East River/East Bay Prospect Park/Lake Merrit Best Pizza/Best Burritos Exiled Manhattanites raise prices/Exiled San Franciscans raise prices The Commodre (sadly defunct)/Grand Lake and the Parkway (still kicking) highest lesbian concentration in NYC/highest lesbian concentration in the country Park...
Oddly, no mention of Otherworld :D --MM
