Peninsula Press Club: A fond farewell to the Tribune Tower

A fond farewell to the Tribune Tower

"If these walls could talk" is the headline on a retrospective of the Oakland Tribune Tower that staff writer Angela Hill has written. The Tribune is moving on May 20 from its historic downtown location to an office building MediaNews has leased on Oakport Street across the freeway from the Oracle Arena.

    Ed, Thanks for doing what you do. This post flooded my memory with growing up around the Oakland Tribune. My father would have had a trippin' time remembering all his stories of the people (including Al Martinez). Hope all is well in your neck of the woods.

    Hi Matt,

    Great hearing from you again. The Tribune is at it once again, increasing the bottom line by cutting the workforce, so it's rather tense in the workplace.

    Hope all is going well for you and your family, be happy you can sleep at night.

    Peace,
    Eddie
