I attended a wonderful art installation at an old Amtrak train station in West Oakland that has been abandoned since the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. Linda Braz, Jessica Cadkin, and Jessica Serran converted this amazing space into a temporary art gallery for one afternoon. An article in yesterday's Oakland Tribune covered the event, and the welcome aboard site has historical information and some amazing photos.
