Tomorrow evening businesses across Oakland will be extending their store hours in celebration of the recent decision by City Council to bring back free evening parking. Various merchants throughout the Fruitvale neighborhood are expected to participate in the event, staying open from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Just outside the Fruitvale in the Dimond district, Paws & Claws will be hosting a special opening reception from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. along with "Dogs Bark," an art exhibit featuring the work of photographer Cathy Cade.
As many Oakland residents know, on October 6th, the Oakland City Council agreed to roll back their extension on metered parking hours from 8 p.m. to the normal 6 p.m. after numerous store owners throughout the city said the extended hours were hurting business.
Fruitvale hosts many different stores and restaurants, especially along Foothill Boulevard, International Boulevard, and Fruitvale Avenue, all who would benefit from your support and patronage Friday evening.
