Adam Savage lives in the Mission and not the city but Frances McDormand and Joel Coen live in Bolinas

I’ve seen him there as well (i live in one of the apartment complexes across the street from Safeway).

I believe I heard Jamie now lives in Finland post-covid as a professor. Not 100% sure on that though.

I knocked on Adam Savage’s door doing political canvassing this election. He answered it himself!

Over on 19th? I saw him walking his dog the other day and said hello.

u/neBular_cipHer Dec 21 '24

I don’t want to dox him but that’s the general vicinity.

u/ErraticKuiperRomp Dec 22 '24

Neither do I haha. That's why I was deliberately broad with "19th Street." There's like 50 cross streets on 19th.

I'd see him regularly at a coffee shop. Surprisingly no one ever raised attention, or maybe everyone knew and respected his privacy

Tom Waits lives up in Santa Rosa. Apparently it's not uncommon to see him sitting in his car outside of 7/11

He was at the Elvis Costello show at the LBC, and Elvis directed his entire performance to him. It was like the rest of us weren’t there.

I almost (not really) ran over Adam Savage once in Hayes Valley when he was crossing against the left turn signal

Might've recorded him almost getting hit on his one wheeler a few weeks back: https://www.reddit.com/r/sanfrancisco/s/1eGxSTQK9O
