Oakland's Local News--Page 2

I know a lot of the old die hard Oaklanders, will ask why I’m I putting in news stories that are not in Oakland. It’s true some of the stories are not in the “Old” Oakland community, but we have to forget about the past, every sine the annexation of 1925, People think if they live in the area starting at the north edge of the Kansas Rive to first street on the south and to the east to croco road, and to river road on the west. Every one now calls this Oakland but us “Old” Oaklanders know better, about I can say is welcome to the future.

Note. These stories are linked to the Topeka Capital Newspaper so you can read the full story, many will have photo’s all of these stories are printable.
