Electronic Panopticon @electronicpanopticon.com · 6hHaving lived there as a kid in the 70s it’s so sad watching the acid of greed eat it alive. It’s like it’s been taken over by pod people. I feel blessed that I got to experience it back then. Oakland was always the heart of the Bay Area. The energy is still there for me 40 years later. 030
