Oakland
Oakland is a port city in the Bay Area of California in the United States of America. Once overshadowed by San Francisco, its larger neighbor lying directly to the west, Oakland has begun to step out from under San Francisco's shadow with its notable natural and architectural features and its rise as the multicultural "hipster" city of the Bay Area.Landmarks in the Area
