So we went to the beach in Santa Barbara and afterward, I was shocked by the tar on the sole of my feet and my ruined socks. No one mentioned there’s tar on the beach, and I don’t recall seeing any kind of a warning, but I did clock the fugly oil rigs in the […]

Only Way Is the Right of Way!
Behold: A small victory for the little guy. This morning I was rather quite happy — and surprised — to see a new One Way sign installed on Cushman between Sacramento and California here on Nob Hill. All it took was the enlisted assistance of other concerned neighbors and many 311 requests to get this […]
Ruth
I was today years old, when I learned a lot more about artist Ruth Asawa. I knew that she repped the Bay; she was born in Norwalk in 1926 and died in San Francisco 12 years ago. That she inspired and supported Ruth’s Table, a community arts initiative for older adults located in the Mission. […]

Girl, we in danger. I’ll be deactivating Facebook shortly, but I want to remind you that just because they came in wearing red baseball caps that don’t mean that they are not theocratic fascists to reckon with. I encourage you to invest in your local newspapers, for their do still exist and provide an invaluable […]
