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 [...]

Haight Street’s Smelliest Grocer Expanding

by Andrew Dalton on May 21, 2010

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 [...]

On the Corner’s Replacement Sneaks in a Soft Open, Still Needs a Name

by Andrew Dalton on May 21, 2010

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 [...]

KKKatie Taken Down, Or: How Not to be a “Street Artist”

by Andrew Dalton on May 20, 2010

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 [...]

Popeye’s on Divis Catches Fire, $0.99 Two-Piece Tuesdays Canceled.

by Andrew Dalton on May 18, 2010

So this just happened. About seven fire trucks and various squad cars showed up on Divis while smoke poured out the doors of Popeye’s. Seemed a bit excessive since there were no massive grease-fueled towers of fire involved, but I imagine places like that are equipped to keep that shit contained to the kitchen. SFFD [...]

Let’s Talk About Your Weekend Plans

by Andrew Dalton on May 13, 2010

This weekend is the most in-the-middle-of-May of all the weekends in May, and I think we all know that this marks the yearly return of one of our greatest traditions. That’s right, it’s the 10th Anniversary of the North of Panhandle Neighborhood Block Party on Saturday! Bring the kids!
In case you’re new to the neighborhood, [...]

Five Star Truffles Gets Clean-Bombed

by Andrew Dalton on May 6, 2010

Because we’d hate to see the whole internet become one bigĀ  blog about tagging, here’s a guy hard at work removing some 19-year old’s scribblings from the window of Five Star Truffles on Divis.
Now, here would be a good place to go on a rant about how making a bunch of loopy, indecipherable letters on [...]

Inner Richmond Bar Hocking Overpriced Ike Turners

by Andrew Dalton on May 4, 2010

What is this travesty? No, not the fishy-eyed perspective of this photo – We’re talking about the Buckshot in the Inner Richmond encroaching on Madrone’s creative property and then overcharging you for it. Are people in the Inner Richmond just total suckers? (They must be or they wouldn’t live in the Inner Richmond, right?) Granted, [...]

Jared Leto’s Stupid Face Makes an Appearance at the Independent Tonight

by Andrew Dalton on May 3, 2010

In case you were planning on hitting Free Movie Night at the Independent tonight, be aware that you might come face-to-face-to-iphone with some Yelpers getting their pre-Bay To Breakers groove on. (Sorry, 30 Seconds to Mars won’t be playing.) The social reviews site is sponsoring tonight’s Double Feature of movies about Steven Prefontaine, which means [...]

Expanding Divisadero’s Pizza Horizons

by Andrew Dalton on April 13, 2010

Yesterday, homegirl Tablehopper got so excited that a new pizza place was opening in the former home of Metro Kathmandu that she could hardly wait to get out a proper internet email blog about it. But she did tweet some hints and EaterSF filled in the rest of the details. Some lady who makes [...]
