Good morning, Oakland.

An Oakland couple’s Vegas trip turned stressful when their room at the Golden Nugget (a hotel) began leaking dirty water into the ceiling, and they had to call 7 On Your Side for help.

After they switched rooms and asked repeatedly for a manager, the hotel later issued a full refund and covered cleaning fees (as it began retraining its customer service team).

Bryan Keith Hall allegedly shot and killed Oakland parole agent Joshua Lemont Byrd on Edgewater Drive on July 17—court documents show he had nearly 30 years of criminal history and 10 prior convictions before being found near 90th Avenue and International Boulevard and held without bail on suspicion of first-degree murder.

This weekend, Mosswood Meltdown brought Oakland music fans together as bands like Shannon and the Clams, Kreayshawn and Bratmobile performed on one stage at the local park while construction at Mosswood Community Center made the show more intimate — uniting longtime punks with newcomers in a true homecoming.

The California FAIR Plan added nearly 90,000 new policies in the first half of July—its fastest-ever growth—making it one of the largest insurers as many homeowners were left with few options after private companies dropped high-risk customers.

New state regulations will soon require private insurers to take more high-risk policies even as costs for coverage continue to rise.

Oakland has installed 18 hard-plastic bollards at the intersection on 82nd and MacArthur Avenues—reducing sideshows that once endangered local streets.

City officials said the move is part of a $1.4 million safety plan and will discuss next steps at a meeting at 1 p.m. tomorrow.

Neighbors have been upset by decades of delays on the planned Oak Knoll project in the East Oakland hills, where hundreds of homes, shops, and parks were to be built—Freehold Communities took over early this year and said most city approvals are complete, with lot work set to begin within the next two months even if construction starts early next year due to tough market rules.
