Golden Gate Park Getting a Waffle Truck

by Andrew Dalton on June 23, 2010

EaterSF reports that Waffle Mania Waffle Truck-turned-Kiosk has been approved to set up another location in Golden Gate Park. Caroburger over at Eater is a little thin on the details, but apparently they’re going to operate out of a truck set up “near the museums”. So, at JFK Drive and Hagiwara Tea Garden Drive, then?

Fell & Divis Arco Owner Kind-of Assaulted BP Protester Maybe.

by Andrew Dalton on June 21, 2010

So it turns out the Arco/BP Shutdown party wasn’t just a one time thing and the Facebook Revolutionaries behind the protest are doing this weekly now (who knew?).  More importantly though, last Friday’s protest not only angered a lot of drivers, but it apparently pissed off Arco Station owner Larry Armstrong who, according to facebook [...]

by Andrew Dalton on June 18, 2010

I’ve noticed this dirt-cheap hot dog offer in the past (which may or may not be related to the hot dog cart guy that hangs out in front of the Independent), but now they’ve got a table and chairs out in front of the convenience store at the 76 Station. Because if there’s one thing [...]

People Of San Francisco, I Have Arrived.

by nedhepburn on June 3, 2010

Bloodied, dirtied, and covered in what appears to be aloe vera, I have arrived in San Francisco.
For the third and perhaps final time in 9 months I packed up everything I own into my car and left Los Angeles, swearing that I’d never return. I headed North, to the Bay Area, home of promiscuity, revelry, long [...]

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?

Well, I Hope You’re Happy, Neighbors (Also, Frat Boys)

by Andrew Dalton on May 26, 2010

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 [...]

A Myopic View of SFWeekly’s 2010 Best of San Francisco

by Andrew Dalton on May 23, 2010

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 [...]
