San Francisco— Wednesday marked the 106th anniversary of the massive 1906 earthquake that devastated San Francisco. Several hundred citizens gathered at Lotta’s Fountain in the City to honor the 3,000 who died in the quake.

Oakland— The East Bay Regional Park board agreed Tuesday to outlaw medical marijuana use within 1,000 feet of developed recreation areas. The move was made in response to complaints from parents that users smoke near children. Park officials also said they worry park users’ getting high near swim lakes and reservoirs creates unacceptable risks of drowning.

Oakland— Two Oakland men pleaded not guilty Tuesday to charges that they wounded a shopper in a Black Friday shooting outside a San Leandro Walmart. The men are facing several felony charges, including attempted murder, while Phillips is accused of robbery and attempted robbery. They were arrested in connection with the non-fatal Nov. 25 shooting when an attempted robbery on the first day of the holiday shopping season turned violent.

Oakland— Two new measures in Oakland are being pushed for the November election that adequately reflect the makeup of the city’s elected leadership, according to an SF Chronicle article. The two measures include one pushed by Councilman Ignacio De La Fuente that will repeal ranked-choice voting in city elections and another by Councilwoman Jane Brunner, who proposes limiting the terms of City Council members and city attorney to three four-year terms as opposed to having no term caps.

Fremont— Cinemark will open a brand new, all digital 16-screen movie theater in Fremont’s Pacific Commons new shopping center, The Block. “It has been almost five years since the city has enjoyed its own neighborhood theater,” said Cinemark CEO Tim Warner.

San Jose— A man on his way to his flight to San Jose got naked at the Portland International Airport Tuesday night. He refused to go through a full body scanner, and his clothes tested positive for explosive material by the TSA. The man said his dignity had already been stripped from him by the investigation, so he simply took off his clothes to show he wasn’t carrying a bomb. He stayed in the nude until police arrived.

Castro Valley– Construction on Castro Valley’s Veterans Memorial will begin in the coming weeks. The memorial will be placed in a corner of the Community Center Park at Lake Chabot Road and Quail Avenue. The memorial will feature six benches and 750 engraved bricks.
