This Is Oakland

Racked is no longer publishing. Thank you to everyone who read our work over the years. The archives will remain available here; for new stories, head over to Vox.com, where our staff is covering consumer culture for The Goods by Vox. You can also see what we’re up to by signing up here.

Remember that book all about the coolness of Oakland we told you about in December? Well, you guys came through and helped raise enough money to successfully fulfill the This Is Oakland kickstarter campaign, and now the author tells us the book is off to the presses. If you donated an amount that got you a book, look for it in May! [Racked Inbox]
