Today's riddle: What has a tail, but no body? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Hornets Shut Out Jets During 71st Island Bowl (alamedapost.com) — Alameda football fans just watched the Hornets dominate the Jets 55–0 in the 71st Island Bowl at Encinal's new field, securing a fourth straight rivalry win. The game showcased standout play from senior Ikaika Patterson and a swarming Hornets defense, and now local supporters can look ahead to Alameda High hosting Newark Memorial while Encinal travels to Cloverdale.
2. Eight Years Later: Alameda Marina Redevelopment Project (latitude38.com) — Alameda's long-running marina redevelopment has transformed a once-bustling working waterfront into a mostly residential complex, despite earlier promises to preserve maritime trades. The piece revisits what's been lost, how much commercial marine activity has actually disappeared, and what this means for the island's maritime culture as construction continues and former tenants doubt they'll ever return.
3. Letter traveled just over a mile -- and somehow took 71 years to return (local12.com) — A quirky postal mystery has landed right in Alameda, where Christ Episcopal Church just received a baptism certificate it mailed only a mile and a half away back in 1955. Church leaders are now tracking down the baptized woman's family and debating whether to trust the Postal Service again, while treating the long-lost letter as a charming new piece of local history.
4. Tuolumne County Prize Pack Talkback Sweepstakes (iheart.com) — Alameda residents are eligible this week to enter a Tuolumne County Prize Pack Talkback Sweepstakes from 98.1 The Breeze, running September 14–18. By using the iHeartRadio app's Talkback feature while streaming KISQ, locals can submit a short message for a chance at a Sonora getaway with lodging, tastings, horseback riding, and local gift cards.
