Whatever, Gertrude If you’re from Oakland, you’ve had it up to here with Gertrude Stein, who famously dissed her hometown (there’s no there there) and then took off for France to be a bohemian. Did we mention that her writing is incomprehensible and she got cozy with fascists? For those and other reasons, ignore her. Oakland outgrew Stein long ago, and Oaklandish is a retail celebration of a great city and its people. They sell sharp-looking tee-shirts, hoodies, bags, and outerwear, among other things, all declaring Oakland pride. So there…there (1444 Broadway, Oakland).
