My Oakland Hideaway


Of course, it is Salem Halal's Meats and Grocery store on Bouquet, just about across from the Oakland Post Office. Yes, the place with parking in the back, and very, very friendly people inside.

Brother Mas'ud and his sons, especially Abdullah,

his workers -- Nabil,

Arif, etc...

The view from outside the store where I have my dinner.

That unmistakable UPitt's Cathedral of Learning.

And the same tower from the parking.

It's a place where I am comforted in the knowledge that I can source my zabihah -- halal halal -- meats without any doubt. Best of all, it's where I find friends.
