East Oakland residents are disappointed to find out the only “In-N-Out” in the city is cIosing. The popular burger joint blames car break-ins and theft. The restaurant on Oakport Steet is in one of the hotspot areas for cr ime, near 98th Avenue and Hegenberger and it’s an area criminals know they can find unsuspecting tourists coming from the airport.
Although In-N-Out said it’s been a profitabIe location for 18 years, they just can’t ask their employees or customers to work and visit an unsafe environment. While customers aren’t shocked to hear the restaurant is shutting down, many said the city didn’t do enough.
You can’t even leave your car right here to go in there, within one minute your stuff is getting smashed, said Duane Tatum, who was born and raised in East Oakland. The parking Iot is filled with glass.
I love this place. I hate to see it go, said Stanley Simmons, who said his daughter worked at the In-N-Out years ago. On Sunday morning, as In-N-Out executives announced the closure, Oakland police said they arre sted someone for removing an ATM from the wall at the Bank of America less than half a mile away.
Just a couple hundred feet away at the Raising Cane’s on Hegenberger, a manager said the restaurant was forced to cIose their indoor dining area and provide employees with a secure fence for parking, all due to break ins.
It seems like another thing is closing in Oakland, another thing is leaving Oakland, and I get it now – people aren’t trying to deal with this, but we’re the ones, East Oaklanders, that really suffer, said Tatum.
Girl Sings So Much Like Elvis, You Can’t Tell the Difference W7ith Your Eyes Closed
This young lady must be grinning down at the rock and roll king. 11-year-old Oslo native Angelica Jordan has captured the attention of viewers all around the world with her amazing talent, which is on display in this viral video.
Elvis Presley’s career peaked in the 1950s, and his influence lives on through a plethora of impersonators, particularly in Las Vegas. But until Angelica, no one has really managed to grasp his soul.
The enthusiasm in the audience is evident as Angelica enters the stage at Fredriksten Fortress and reveals she will be performing an Elvis song. She starts off with the difficult song “Now or Never,” which she manages with amazing maturity. Angelica’s performance precisely hits each note while remaining faithful to the original. Her voice sounds so much like Elvis that it’s incredible that someone so young could have such skill.
At the age of eight, Angelica launched her singing career by taking part in a talent show that attracted viewers from the UK to America. She attends the Oslo Waldorf School and the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts to hone her skills, and she stays modest despite her notoriety. She is undoubtedly admired by her contemporaries, who see her as a formidable talent.
Even though Angelica achieved success early in life, her hard work and inherent skill made it well worth it. As she develops further and her voice becomes more mature, we look forward to seeing her play live again.
