Today's riddle: Why did the cookie go to the hospital? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Man Accused Of Arson In Alameda Apartment Fire That Injured 2: Police (patch.com) — Alameda police and firefighters are investigating a suspected arson that tore through an apartment building on Central Avenue, injuring at least two people and forcing dramatic rescues from the third floor. Crews battled heavy flames that damaged six units and displaced at least 12 residents, while the Red Cross stepped in to help those affected. Authorities say the Alameda resident arrested was already out on release in another case.
• Today's Alameda Treasure – 1620 Fourth Street, A Return to 'Down Home,' Part 3 (alamedapost.com) — A longtime Alameda resident and historian continues uncovering the story behind 1620 Fourth Street, believed to be the oldest home on the West End, by connecting with newly discovered Rich/Goggin descendants. Their shared trove of photos, documents, and heirlooms sheds fresh light on the family's journey from Ireland and Australia to San Francisco and ultimately Alameda's historic West End neighborhood.
• Combat-Veteran SBD-4 Dauntless Comes Aboard USS Hornet (vintageaviationnews.com) — A historic WWII SBD-4 Dauntless dive bomber has just arrived at the USS Hornet Sea, Air & Space Museum in Alameda, where volunteers will restore it on the carrier's hangar deck. Trucked from Castle Air Museum in Atwater, the aircraft's wings, fuselage, and tail are already aboard, with its engine due soon, promising a major new draw for local visitors and history buffs.
