Proposition K is on the ballot this November. If the proposition passes, San Francisco will fully close The Great Highway south of Golden Gate Park and turn it into a park, 24x7.

So hear me out.

We currently call the narrow strip of a park east of Golden Gate Park "The Panhandle."

How about we call the narrow Great Highway, which hangs down from the west side of Golden Gate Park, The Pandangle? Yes? No? Are you okay, Bob?

#SanFrancisco #OceanBeach

On September 9, 2020, #SanFrancisco experienced "the day of red sun" due to massive smoke from a series of nearby wildfires.

I was able to find some footage of Highway 101 on that day using the historic view option on Google Street View. Does anyone know of any other footage captured on Google Maps from that same day?

From San Francisco's Karl the Fog:

"You miss 'warmth' and 'wearing T-shirts' and 'for the love of all things holy, can I just have one summer night where I eat outside and don’t need a puffer jacket.'”

"Think of it this way: I protect you from four months of heat waves. I keep our electric grid working as it should. I make your wardrobe choices easy (sweaters, year-round)."

SF International Airport Has Changed Their Logo, Ditching the One They’ve Been Using for 24 Years

After the Oakland Airport went and changed its name to "San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport," SFO is sort-of responding with a fresh, new version of the airport logo they’ve used for the last 24 years.

My neighbor has a white cypress tree in their yard. This time of year it is chockablock with cypress berries. Turns out the Telegraph Hill parrots love the berries. They visit in the morning!
