Celebrate the Island City W ouldn’t it be nice if making a living and building a lasting commercial enterprise was as simple as hanging a sign, opening the door and then watching eager customers rush through in, reaching for fat wallets? Apparently, there’s more to it than that, which is why the Greater Alameda Business Association will be holding its first Business Expo on Sept. 26. Rhythmix Cultural Works will be the host, opening its upstairs hall to Expo guests from 5:30 to 7 p.m. “Helping Businesses Do Business in Alameda” is both the subtitle and aim of the event, which will offer guests the opportunity to learn more about goods and services available to both those entrepreneurs look- ing to launch in Alameda and those who want to learn more about growing their existing businesses.

If you’re interested in having a table at the Expo, please write to GABAemail@ gmail.com. Alameda Point It seems like everyone I talk to has an opinion about what should happen with Alameda Point. Now, believe it or not, all those opinions can be more than mere cocktail party chat- ter. The City of Alameda has posted its Final Planning Documents online (http:// alamedaca.gov/alameda-point/ final-planning-documents), and is inviting, urging, and begging community members for their input. One way to make your voice heard is to participate in a survey seeking suggestions for naming the proposed develop- ment’s central business district surrounding the seaplane lagoon. Among the choices are “Alameda Point Town Center,” “FerryPoint Village” and “Seaplane Station.” The survey also always for write-in suggestions; let’s start a campaign to call it “GABAville.”
