I follow East Bay Yesterday, and you should, too. A few days he posted this:
A listener just sent me this old newspaper clipping about his great-grandpa, who was born in Reno in 1886, but grew up "on a 5-acre farm in then remote East Oakland." They grew most of their own food and "had enough extra to barter for things they needed from the general store."

Since I like to research old-timey Oakland stuff, and I know how to dig through old newspapers and old maps, I figured I'd try to go from an image of a newspaper clipping to something readable, with context. Here it is. Thanks, Liam.
