Oaklanders
East Bay dwellers
Oaklanders are residents of Oakland, California—the city across the bay from San Francisco.
The term carries civic pride, particularly given Oakland's distinct identity from its more famous neighbor: Oaklanders have their own culture, their own food scene, their own attitude.
