So many things happening in Oakland....

With school started again and summer coming to an end, there are festivals, food, and sports galore happening in Oakland to keep you busy as you head into fall. Our swinging A's are keeping things interesting and keeping the wins coming, so don't forget to catch a game or two this month. Also, guess who is back! THE RAIDERS! It is football season again and our one and only Oakland Raiders will be taking the field against the Chargers in their first home game of the season(there is nothing like being at a Raiders game in the coliseum)

So, hit up some great Oakland events and if you get a chance, send us some pics from your favorite Oakland experience (idealy reppin' the town) and we will put them up on our page. Also, if you have a restaurant review you would like to share, send it over to repoakland@gmail.com and we will see if we can add them to our local food reviews.

Don't forget, if you don't have the right gear to promote Oakland, look no further than the RepOakland apparel page.

September in the stomach...

The Otown Eater is enjoying the holiday weekend and we will have a post up and on the site by mid week. Make sure to check it out at the RepOakland food reviews site.
