Ah, the remember the 'good old days' when you could pull into a gas station and receive prompt, courteous service right at your car? Well, there's a new version of Service Attendant at the Chevron Station at 2200 Telegraph and Grand in downtown Oakland!

Within moments of pulling into this station and getting out of your car, a service representative will come out to greet you! Is he going to ask if you want your tire pressure checked or your windows washed? Nope! He's going to tell you a story and shake you down for your cash! Do these guys work for the station? The gas station doesn't seem to do anything to discourage them, they must be in some kind of affiliate or proxy service arrangement!

Chauvi's has noticed that women get special treatment and will be escorted wherever they walk around the station by these Service Attendants.

Sorry the photos are of poor quality. We will update with one of our newer cameras soon!

It is time we focus our scrutinizing eye on the many, shabby, sub-standared dwellings that dot the cityscape of Oakland. These multi-user dwellings are hives of crime and filth. The residents don't seem to show any pride in their residence and the owners poorly maintain them. Some have turned into hives of crime and neglect. Many of them need to be leveled and replaced by market rate lofts or condos.

This months Hive Hall of Shame winner is next to the newer Telegraph Lofts on 24th and Telegraph. Walk around the block to 25th st. and you can see that this is quite a different place. The first thing you notice is the stench, then the garbage that's strewn about. What a disgusting place. There's usually matresses and discarded appliances in the back too.
