My Grandparents ( Actually  My  Godmother's Parents )Joseph & Jessie Stewart  Came to OAKLAND, During The War in The 1940's...My  Grandpa Joe Came First,Then sent for His Wife,and Their Only Daughter;Callie Lee,later on....My  Mother Azeal Moss,Came in 1949-1950
A Couple Years Before My Sister Loretta was born,And My Sister Jamilah Came less than 2 Years Later...I  Came  About  A  Dozen  Years  Afterwards, in 1965....My  Parents  and  Grandparents Came to OAKLAND, When "THE  KEY  SYSTEM"  was still  running. "THE  KEY  SYSTEM"  was  A  Predesesor  to  "BART"  as  well  as  "THE  AC  TRANSIT  BUS  LINES", As  We  Now  Know  Today....You Know,My Parents,As Well  as  Well  as  My  Grandparents had told Me stories about  "THE  KEY  SYSTEM",Especially  "THE  'A'  TRAIN",Which  ran-up and down east  14th  street  (also called International  Blvd ) to Down Town Oakland,through Emeryville...way  across The Lower Part of The Bay Bridge,into The City of  San Francisco! From 1939 unto That  Very Last & Final Day;April 20th,1958 did  "THE  KEY  SYSTEM" GO  ACROSS  THAT  BAY  BRIDGE!

I also Remember  My Folks  telling  Me  About  "THE  GOOD  OL' DAYS"...and  The Price and  Value of  Goods,back then! How  $1.00  went  much  further  in  The  1950's  & 1960's,Than  It Went back in The 1970's! And Speaking  of  The  1970's; How  I  Remember  When My Mother:Azeal Moss...How'd She  Always Bring Home Those "Nickle Bags" from when She'd  go to  RENO,and Get Lucky From Her  Winnings  from playing on them Nickle  Slot Machines,back in the day,when We lived over at 1915 ~25th  Avenue,during  The 1970's....And  The Times  We  Went  to  DownTown  Oakland,To "Housewives Market,Swans,Newberrys,And Over at  Woolworth's",when it  was over at  The  MacArthur & Broadway Shopping Center,Right across the street from MOSSWOOD  PARK,  which in turn  was  much,much bigger...over 100 years ago.....a whole  lot  of  History,over at  that place...Yet, A  Whole lot of  Locals  Still Don't  Know The Lush History of This Park...When it  was Still Private Property,Back Then! Then,there was The Rainbow Car Wash (same area)....And who could forget  food back then? YUM! Let's Start with SWANS  MARKET & HOUSEWIVES MARKET  back in the 1970's these were the places to Really EAT,back then! It was kind a like The EMERYVILLE MARKET PLACE...Today,But Seperate Buildings,right across from one another....
