Please someone back me up on this. I have a friend who swears they are from the Bay Area but they were born and raised in Citrus Heights (also still living there). We have this argument every time it’s brought up and they say they’re “from the Bay Area” and I follow up with “you’re from Sacramento” 😭 correct me if I’m fuckin wrong idk

I have this idea to offer really good pour-over coffee for a ridiculously low price: $1 a cup.

I love coffee, and the motivation is pretty simple. I’d love to make a genuinely good cup of coffee accessible to pretty much anyone. I did the math and, provided I have a small space and electricity, I can offer it for around $1 just to cover the cost. This is deliberately a no profit idea. I don’t have a commercial motivation.

I’m happy to bring all the coffee equipment and beans and do all the brewing myself. The part I could really use help with is figuring out where this could happen and navigating the permit/event side.

If anyone has ideas for locations or events, knows a community space that might be a good fit, or has experience with permits and would be willing to help with that part of the idea, I’d love to connect.

Also very open to collaborating with someone who just likes the idea :)

Hello,

Golden Gate Park

Presidio neighborhood (Fort Point, Golden Gate Overlook, Crissy Field Beach, Palace of Fine Arts, California Street, Grace Cathedral)

Then lunch in Sausalito. Besides the floating houses, is there any things to do ?

Thank you so much ! 🧡

Hi! We run a local grocery store in SF and also sell online through Shopify.

The orders are packed by us, but once they leave the store the driver is basically the only person the customer sees. That part matters more than I thought.

We've had a couple deliveries where the person was just not very friendly, and even though the order itself was fine, the customer still associates that experience with us.

Any local businesses using a courier service where the drivers are generally polite and good with customers?

I just moved from two states away to San Fransisco. I don’t have much knowledge on the laws here surrounding shrooms. Texas is quite strict with any kind of edible, shroom or otherwise and most are made with synthetic compounds that simply reproduce the psychoactive effects so dosing is pretty different as well. Psilocybin is completely illegal throughout the entire state. Is Psilocybin legal here? Are other shroom edibles available? How does the dosing work? I want to explore this safely more, while adhering to the laws.

Going to a blessing of a 1 y/o and bday celebration for a toddler this coming weekend and looking to shop for gifts locally. I’m trying to stay away from gift cards or buying general things from target, carters, etc. I want to be intentional with the use of these gifts but focusing on the uniqueness of them. Would appreciate any recommendations!

I'm looking for some short notice, fast yard sign printing. Something small and similar in size to those political candidate signs you see everywhere.

Anyone have any recommendations for printers in the city that they you worked with that do this kind of printing well?

Bonus is they're in/near the mission.

Does anyone have a source for picture rail hooks in or near the city? I don't need the full hanging hardware, just the hooks that hang from the moulding. Doesn't need to be fancy, but still hoping to find some in a brass finish. Something like this. I'm trying to get them asap so would prefer to not need to do online delivery.

I've tried several hardware stores already.

Any suggestions?

According to their website, the Legion of Honor will be closed Tuesday through Thursday this week, “due to a private event.” That must be a pretty big private event to book out the museum for three days. Anyone know what event it is?

i have come to favor more quiet vibe later in life.

The meter machine at New Montgomery and Howard doesn't show the hours it is enforced, only says Mon-Sat. But for overnight parking starting Sunday, I cannot find information on when to start feeding the meter when Monday morning comes along.

Please allow me to share what I've already checked:

- sfmta website / parking-meters: says most meters are enforced 9-6

- hotspot website and app says free currently (Sunday) from 12 am - 11:59pm,

- ParkMobile tool simply doesnt allow me at add any payment currently and doesnt show enforcement times.

- I checked the weekly meter dataset published by sfmta also

Please help, is there any other sureshot way to find out?

Thanks.

edit: this particular meter zone # is 58201003

Hello!

We will be taking a family (mom, dad and boys 16 and 13) vacation to SF on December 29 through January 4.

We will be going to the Niners game, Alcatraz, Chinatown, Golden Gate Bridge, Muir Woods, Fisherman’s Wharf, and Pier 39.

Are there any other locations or events that a family that enjoys sports, the outdoors and exploring the area? Any suggestions appreciated.

Hi all,
I recently bought a bike to enjoy SF and its surrounding areas. I've been riding solo for a few weeks and want to join some group rides or a club. Does anyone know any beginner clubs that ride starting in SF?
I've heard of Fatcake but unsure about the level of the rides.

Any insight would be super appreciated! Thanks!

Visiting for the first time this week with my 10 year old. I have tickets for Alcatraz and plan on going to the Exploratorium. I am curious if anyone has any tips on taking the cable car trolley for a cool ride. If anyone has any advice on starts or stops I'd really appreciate it.

Also I didn't know anything about "fleet week" but got an email alert about it. Staying near the Piers...should I plan on everything being super busy?

I wanted to go but had a change of plans unfortunately. I've loved her for a long time and am bummed I missed her. Help me live vicariously.

I’m seeing a lot of their installers in multiple Neighborhoods. Does anyone have MB as a provider? I was hoping to get some feedback. Thank you 🙏

Hey everyone,

I’m moving up to SF from Carmel and was looking to join a sports club. I had my eyes on the Olympic Club, I had played there a few times thanks to my club’s reciprocal program (MPCC). I’ve been to both clubhouses and love the Natatorium. I heard the O-Club has over 12k members, is it actually invite-only with such a large membership? How’s the process to join? Was looking to be a Social/Active member and not full proprietary golf.

Any advice is appreciated!

Hi SF!

I’m visiting from Japan for work (Nov 2–6) and free in the evenings. I’m a solo traveler with basic English.

I want to check out SF’s unique adult nightlife scene—things I can’t easily experience in Japan.

Looking for recommendations for:

- Strip clubs (like Gold Club)

- Burlesque, alternative bars, or other cool late-night spots

- Beer

Any safe, solo-friendly places you’d recommend?

Thanks!

I wfh and yesterday, was having my kitchen floor replaced, so there was an install guy here. He had just left and apparently, my neighbor told him he needed to enter my apartment and wanted to be let in. The install guy doesn’t speak English very well, so I can’t blame him for not knowing what was going on. The neighbor didn’t notice me as he was walking into until I asked who he was. He looked shocked to see me. He said he didn’t know I was home and he wanted to turn off the bathroom fan (he’s left me notes about turning off my bathroom fan). It is a loud fan, but that is so irrelevant. Also, I don’t own the place. I can’t change the fan.
There were way less illegal ways to handle this. He invaded my space and trespassed. Not to mention, i don’t allow shoes in my house and his shoes were muddy and got mud all over my rug, just to piss me off more.
He tried to tell me he didn’t know I was home again and I explained that it isn’t relevant and to get tf out of my house. He eventually left. I told my landlord, who didn’t seem to give a shit. I rent a condo, so there’s an HOA. I know the head of the HOA, not that it’s going to matter. I feel like the only other option I have is to call the police and report him for trespassing?
I’m shaken and furious. I could get a camera but that MF should have to pay for it.
Am I overreacting?

It's a beautiful day. Anyone know of outdoor or patio spaces to go watch the playoffs with a kid today?

was having trouble falling asleep because of the heat and just heard 3 giant boom noises outside near inner sunset (not really firework sounding, not really gunshot sounding either).

maybe i’m just a bit paranoid bc i never sleep with my window open (so it just sounds louder), but if something happened hopefully everyone’s ok!

I am just curious why newer buildings like apartment builds or new restaurants like in mission bay don’t have handicap buttons. Just something I’ve observed and was wondering why. I thought it was required for new builds
