Unfortunately, her quip is also the chief thing many people know about Oakland. Its better-off neighbor Berkeley has even created a gently witty piece of public art called \u201cHERETHERE\u201d that plays on Stein\u2019s words. It stands at the border of the two cities, with the word \u201cHere\u201d on the Berkeley side, and the word \u201cThere\u201d on the Oakland side. As you might expect, Oaklanders don\u2019t much like it. There has even been what you might call a T-party rebellion, in which an intrepid army of knitters covered up the \u201cT\u201d on the Oakland side with a huge and elaborate tea-cozy. This is how they conduct cultural warfare in the Bay Area, where some people clearly have too much time on their hands.","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/www.thenewatlantis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/social-share-default.png","thumbnail_width":930,"thumbnail_height":488}
