Edgar and his magnificent dog, Ender, live in the Allendale Neighborhood but it was around Lake Merritt that I originally met them; Edgar is a member of the slackline community of Lake Merritt. A relatively recent transplant to Oakland, Edgar truly does believe that Oakland is as friendly as Ender and that it does, indeed, just want to lick your face.
This city’s stereotypes are as bad as the ones about my dog. I promise you Oakland will NOT eat your child, it just wants to lick you in the face.
