A filthy, crime-ridden city in the San Francisco Bay Area. It has a very diverse population, African American being the largest demographic. As an Oakland native, I can tell you that there is quite a bit of racial tension. I pity the fool who stumbles onto the wrong street corner, especially if he/she is white.
But don't worry! You're safe as long as you're smart (i.e. don't whip out your iPod out in the middle of the street). And lucky.
And if you're really going to pussy out, you can always go into one of the few rich white neighborhoods in the hills. You probably won't get shot there. Probably.
This place is great for the typical pot smoker. Cops don't give a fuck as long as they have murder cases and senseless riots to keep them busy. (Woohoo! Public intoxication!) I wouldn't know, but judging by all the crackheads one could probably get away with a lot harder drugs, too.

Oakland School for the Arts (a.k.a. OSA) is an art high school located in Oakland, California. Once a cluster of portables and a gigantic tent in a parking lot (no, I am not kidding), the school moved into the newly-renovated Fox Theater in January 2008. It has gone through many changes, most notably the fluctuating dress code and student/teacher turnover rate.
Students there are required to participate in one of the school's arts emphasis. These include vocal music, instrumental music, visual arts, dance, literary arts, and arts management.

Dude #1: Why the hell are you wearing a collared shirt and corduroys?
Dude #2: I go to Oakland School for the Arts. They changed the dress code again.
