TJ East Bay Delay

This time, Oakland city council members (including Barbara Boxer's son) are making it difficult for two Trader Joe's to open in Oakland because of union concerns. Last time, it was uptight Berkeley neighbors fretting about secretive German families and cheap booze. When are they going to learn? You can't stop the Fearless Flyer.

reason #916 and #917 on why there's hate for the East Bay: no TJ's on Lakeshore or on College.

> the union did not contact the company and discuss the issues with them before taking up the issue in a public forum.

what a bunch of blowhards.

I said to a teammate Sunday, "I can't go out for lunch, I need to go to TJ's and shop."

He said, "TJ Maxx's?"
