Talk:Bushrod, Oakland, California

Restored information on schools
I restored the information about schools (in particular the Sankofa Academy) that had been previously removed. I added some information to the intro that explains why the school warrants mention (the building and land that Sankofa currently occupies was once the Washington Elementary school and shares a common history with the park, as well as being a rather large building that is definitely a landmark for the neighborhood.) I plan on expanding the article more soon, so if you notice improperly introduced material or anything else that needs improvement, please let me know rather than removing it. Thanks! --Sapphic (talk) 23:42, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi All, Overall a good article. It could be improved by updating the demographic information which has changed quite a bit and adding a link to Phat Beetz and Dover Park, which are both in the Bushrod neighborhood. Also, it's just called "Bushrod" - "Bushrod Park" usually just refers to the actual park. ThanksMcnelson510 (talk) 05:42, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
