I created AlamedaWaterfront.com in the spring of 2010 following BMW-Oracle's victory in the 33rd America's Cup. While I knew very little about yacht racing, I was just watching what Larry Ellison was saying about transforming the America's Cup and growing it's audience via technology and television. I knew it had to be in San Francisco and some of my local sailing friends hinted that Alameda Point would be a perfect place for an America's Cup village. I had been learning a lot about Alameda Point from another volunteer project...
This website sprung up from a small community group here in Alameda. I created the website in Drupal 6 back in 2009 as a campaign took shape to develop Alameda Point, a huge parcel of land in central San Francisco Bay that was, until the mid-90's, a massive Naval Air Station.... which apparently my Uncle Bob Boeger served at back in the day. Rumor has it that his ol' bar stool still exists!
