Arts & Culture

Looking for a cultured evening nearby? OMCA has just the thing. They bring in music, alcohol and about 10 different food trucks (Off The Grid) plus half price admission to the museum. And it’s only 5.5 miles from Oakland Hills Bay View apartment. I’ve attended many times. Great date night. Interesting rotating exhibits including Canabis and Black Panthers. http://museumca.org/friday-nights-omca

Sightseeing

The Mormon Temple is a recognizable landmark with spectacular views of San Francisco and the bay. It is rumored that east bay parents tell their children the temple is Disneyland because it looks like a castle from far away and beautifully lit up at night. The temple puts on quite a Christmas display. It is walkable from Oakland Hills Bay View apartment, although it a steep uphill walk. Uphill is the price we pay for great views.
