While reading the San Francisco Business Times at the Mission Bay public library, an article mentioned a new lifestyle magazine for San Francisco that premieres tomorrow, June 1st. 944 (Nine Four Four) magazine is an entertainment and fashion magazine similar to 7×7, and I believe it is available as a free pick-up at select distribution… Keep reading

Photo taken by Jamie Whitaker I was bummed to see a smashed window on somebody’s (not mine) Ford car while walking down Harrison between Main and Spear Streets today. I looked in the car, and it was pretty obvious what triggered the thief to shatter the window on this car – the driver likely left… Keep reading

Another potentially busy and fun weekend if you’re not much of a homebody. I recently mentioned the San Francisco Symphony’s Black and White Ball on Saturday (www.sfsymphony.org/ball – though their site seems to be having troubles this morning). There’s also some NERT (Neighborhood Emergency Response Team) training happening earlier in the day Saturday (www.sfgov.org/sffdnert). The… Keep reading

As I’ve mentioned to some of you, I got my spark, my impetus to get involved in civic matters from the Howard Dean for America primary campaign in 2003. I took it a step further and ran for the Democratic State Representative slot for District 43 in the State of Michigan in 2004, and one… Keep reading

As mentioned previously, the Shorenstein Properties and Farallon Capital Management have a desire to finance building a new cruise terminal at Pier 27 by developing office buildings (and what I assume will be token open space unless we and the South Beach neighborhoods vocally demand something more substantial) on Piers 30 and 32 in South… Keep reading

I’m normally a relatively calm guy, but nothing lights my fuse quicker than people driving their cars too fast or otherwise endangering pedestrians and bicyclists by breaking traffic laws in my neighborhood. Just the other day, I barked at some idiot driver pulling out from behind the Ferry Building in her stretch Hummer limousine who… Keep reading
