Golden Gate, Oakland, California
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Golden Gate neighborhood of Oakland, California is located in the northwest corner of the city, east of Emeryville and south of Berkeley. It includes the Golden Gate Shopping District, the stretch of San Pablo Avenue roughly between the Golden Gate branch of the Oakland Public Library at 56th Street on the south, and the Oakland-Berkeley border at 67th Street to the north. The neighborhood includes the area from a few blocks west of San Pablo Avenue (the Emeryville border) to Adeline Avenue on the east.[1]
The Golden Gate Shopping District is the location of Your Black Muslim Bakery, which made national headlines in August 2007 when the bakery was raided by the Oakland police and shut down.[2]
