“Hello,” “Please,” and “Thanks.” People of the world, these are the three little words ya gotta remember when you go to a grocery store, always and forever, but especially during this pandemic. Look, I know what I’m talking about when I gripe about the casual cultural classism and racism that surprisingly permeates San Francisco, or the […]
A day later, California Gov. Gavin Newsom echoed the shelter-in-place ordinance that Madam Mayor London Breed announced in San Francisco last Monday, but for the entire Golden State and its 40 million residents. Food providers (farmers’ markets, grocery stores, and the restaurants that can manage it) may stay open. Ditto gas stations, pharmacies, and food […]
Dearly beloved, Good humor, good will, and some good, fun music will help us carry on this COVID-19 season. Think you need some medicine? Then, this is the Pandemi❌ you need right now.

Isn’t it high time that this neighborhood that lives so on the edge of renewed vibrancy get a make-over and a new name that’s not predicated on once-upon-a-time stories about police corruption?
