Remember sisters Jennifer and Linda?  We loved their first video about how excited they were to be a part of Our Oakland: Eastside Stories.  Now they're back reminiscing about what East Oakland was like growing up—roller skating rinks and bowling alley, family picnics in the park, and more. They laugh and chat together about the sense of community and saftety they felt in the neighborhood, and express hope for getting back to those times.  Enjoy!
