First up, Nooworks – that adorable little shop of screenprinted tees and totes and such attached at the hip to Workshop announced in a blog post that they’re packing up and heading down to the Mission. While it’s always sad to see someone leave the neighborhood for the delusional glamor of Valencia Street, we have [...]
After hearing the announcement on Wednesday that ING would be dropping their Bay to Breakers sponsorship, the fine Citizens for the Preservation of Bay2Breakers (Why do we always put a 2 in there? That’s stupid.) put together this data-filled press release/blog post detailing why Bay to Breakers (Or “B2B”, barf you please) will still be [...]
Just needed an excuse to use that “Gavin’s Hair” tag again. Move along…

This morning, the Chronicle, SFAppeal, SFist and your friend who doesn’t even live in San Francisco all reported that ING has pulled out of their Bay to Breakers sponsorship. The reasons for halting the bankroll? Well, it’s all unofficial rumors, but apparently, “ING is fed up with all the bad publicity that the race has [...]
It’s officially award season! That magical time of the year when everyone briefly cares about printed versions of the websites they sometimes go to. Last week we had SF Weekly’s Best of 2010, which we discussed, and now this week 7×7 Magazine has birthed their own little bundle of joy. Because you’re a busy person [...]
Mike over at IBikeNoPa reports that another cyclist has been struck by a motorist in the neighborhood. This time it’s not at the Masonic and Fell intersection that’s been causing so many problems (mostly for drivers) lately. Instead the accident, reported by local Matthew Brill, occurred around 2:45pm on Sunday at Fulton st. and Arguello [...]
Oh hey great, SFWeekly published their yearly Best of San Francisco lists last Wednesday, but I guess we were too busy getting excited that one Katherine Dunbar was probably going to end up scrubbing half the neighborhood with a toothbrush to notice. Anyhow, it’s Sunday now, which means white people all over the country are [...]
From EaterSF comes word that the Haight Street Market, that more-than-a-bodega-but-not-quite-a-grocery store establishment in the heart of Upper Sit/Lie Territory is expanding into Massawa next door. If that place wasn’t crunchy before, we can’t wait to see what becomes of it with double the square footage. Perhaps people will Sit/Lie amongst the vegetables? Park their [...]
Our man on the street Ben sent word this morning that the new coffee-and-sandwiches replacement for On the Corner opened it’s doors without much notice. The ABC license in the window is calling it Panini, and while the very excited woman I spoke to insisted they would be serving paninis, she did say they’re still [...]
We talked briefly before about KKKatie (real name: Katherine Dunbar), the aggressive and reportedly unbalanced tagger with a love for misappropriating political symbols. Today, our friends over at the Appeal reported that she’s been busted, with the court piling on five counts of felony vandalism with hate crimes allegations, four misdemeanor vandalism counts, a couple [...]
