walkin’ podcasts
Usually, I listen to the sounds of the city as I make my way down the streets of Alameda. But sometimes I listen to podcasts on my iPod Mini. Most podcasts wear thin quite quickly. But the good ones are poving to be nice companion on my treks. I’ve been listening to:
Future Tense (that dude has the same name as me, and sounds just like me, too)
NPR – Sports with Frank Deford
BBC: Mark Kermode’s Film Reviews
Notice that they’re all pretty much from the mainstream media. I just don’t groove on the amateurish stuff. Have a favorite podcast? Write to me … jongordon at gmail dot com.
beltline
Alameda doesn’t have much open space left, but the Alameda Beltline is an exception. I took this photo from the end of Wood St., through a chain link fence. The city is trying to get title to the land in a lawsuit. Sure would make a great park and highlight of a cross-Alameda trail.
look out west alameda
My march through Alameda is making steady progress toward Webster and beyond…
Red lines are where I’ve walked. The dark blue lines are where I’ve walked but couldn’t find the red Sharpie.
now that’s dense
Housing density in Alameda can get pretty intense. These separate dwellings (Central Ave. or Santa Clara Ave., can’t remember which) almost touch. Could be pretty cool if the residents know and like each other. Pass me the sports section, woodja?
still walking…
Haven’t posted in a while (bumped up against some Flickr bandwidth limits, dammit) but I’m still walkin. I’ve finished about half the main Island. Won’t be long before I find myself on Alameda Point. Stay tuned for more delicious Alameda photos…
clement scene part deux
I really like Clement Avenue on the edge of downtown (from a photography perspective anyway). Lots of interesting businesses and buildings, and there’s always some tasty decay goin’ down.
clement scene
Clement Ave. industrial rooftops. I like the colors and the lines.
east side cat
While Manhattan digs out from a 24-inch snowfall, this Alameda cat (looking an awful lot like a sea lion) enjoys a sunny spot in 68 degree weather.
