Fruitvale Ave, Sausal Creek

Fruitvale Ave. is a mixed bag and pretty hard to describe. I say that because its not a normal street made up of one type of housing or one type of business or one type of zones.

Fruitvale Ave. spans from Alameda/Fruitvale Bridge up until the Diamond district where theres a park.

Fruitvale Ave. coming from Alameda begins with an industrial section. Theres a fishing park on the south end of the street, a manufacturing plant, unused train tracks.

At the intersection of 880 Freeway and Fruitvale is a shopping center. Let me put up a list theres a lot there.

Lucky's Super Market
Office Depot
Burger King
Star Bucks
Donut/Chinese Food Store
Boston Market
Hollywood Video
Popeye's
Auto
Clothing Stores

Between E 9th/Fruitvale Ave and International/Fruitvale Ave are small owned businesses.
There is a fire extinguisher store there called ACME. But the rest of the stores here
are mostly latino owned.

Fruitvale Ave and Foothill is a small latino area. There is a walgreens and a kragen.
Not to mention lots of small latino grocery stores. If you need any mexican food stuffs,
you can find them here.

From International Blvd/Fruitvale Ave up until the 580 Freeway, is mostly houses and apartments.
The housing in this section does not look good at all. Ive passed up and down this street enough times to know that this area wont change much. The majority of residents here are latino and blacks.
Theres also a liquor store every few blocks. And there always seems to be groups of people
standing around for no reason around the stores. These people do not look happy.

And past the 580 Freeway/Fruitvale Ave up to the park is whats called the diamond district.
This section is mostly businesses and some banks. Washington Mutual is there.

It's hard to classify Fruitvale Ave, because its not made of one specific type. To sum it up,
I'd say its a mixed street with housing with commerical properties mostly.
