The Gate to the World


It’s a fairly safe bet that this ship passing underneath the Golden Gate Bridge picked up its cargo at the Port of Oakland, across the Bay. San Francisco’s lesser known, not-quite-as-pretty twin city handles 99 percent of all containers coming to and from Northern California by sea. The port has ten container terminals and is the fourth busiest in the U.S.


And while that’s certainly impressive, the prettier picture (sorry, Oakland) is still the passage through the gate to the world...

Her Royal Highness


Please meet Squelly, Queen of Oakland. Being a cat, she’s royalty. Naturally.
