TAKE A PIECE OF OAKLAND HOME WITH YOU
Oakland isn't a city of big-box stores or mega-malls. It's a network of communities rich with old-fashioned neighborhood shopping districts, including antique shops, chic boutiques, and ethnic treasure houses. Ethnic shops abound in Chinatown and the Latin-flavored Fruitvale district, while College Avenue, Piedmont and Grand Avenue are lined with chic boutiques.
