Now there is a "There" in Oakland. The sculpture was created by artist Roslyn Mazzilli and installed in 1988 prominently in a modern city center pedestrian mall. Gertrude Stein's reported comment "there is no there there" has come to haunt her hometown boosters. At last there is a "There" there.

  • Oakland seems a little obsessed with that Gertrude Stein quote. There's another similar sculpture on the border with Berkeley.
