No No Name Sushi
It’s official: No Name Sushi (aka Nippon Sushi) is gone. The recently-rebuilt space is now for rent. According to the agent’s website, the rent is a whopping $3,500 for the tiny 525 square foot space. It’s intended to be used as a restaurant, and word on the street is there are interested parties. But few…

Muni needs signal priority
The SFMTA recently announced some big changes to the messy intersection at Church and Duboce, which is a notorious mess for Muni Metro, the 22 line, bicycles, private vehicles, and pedestrians. Streetsblog covered the changes in depth in an excellent article. One strange aspect to the renovation which Streetsblog mentions is that there will still…

The Jejune Institute closes for good in April
According to a spoiler-filled article in The Awl, the Jejune Institute closes in early April. Now, however, an end date has been assigned, and after a nearly three-year run it will be no longer after April 10, when the epilogue is completed. Since the days are numbered, I’m going to key you in a little…

Martin’s 16th St Emporium is closing
You know that weird store on 16th next to Body Manipulations that only sold skull-related items? It’s called Martin’s 16th St. Emporium, and they’re going out of business (after 45 years, according to the owner’s Facebook page) and putting the commercial condo up for sale. This probably isn’t much of a surprise; the place was…

Sheep are stuffed into tiny space on shelves with no place to move, or worse, dangled from plastic chains. Please adopt one of these sheep and care for it properly. In the…

Shooting on Mission Street
This morning there was another shooting on Mission St. See? Yes, I’m glad it wasn’t the other kind of shooting myself. Question is, why was Univision shooting video of the Bart station? No reporters were with him. I’d watch and find out, but I don’t hablo the Español.

SNOW FRANCISCO 2011
Well, according to this site and this site, it’s now snowing a bit in San Francisco. Reports from Facebook confirm that snow has been spotted on Twin Peaks and in the Sunset. Funny thing is, just earlier today everyone was joking about how the predictions of snow in SF were ridiculous. Boy, were we all…

What if San Francisco were a theme park?
Like any urban city, there’s plenty in San Francisco that not everyone is comfortable with. Just ask SF Chronicle columnist C.W. Nevius, who hates on our fair city for reasons ranging from young whippersnappers sitting around to unpleasant odors. But what would our city be like if we cleaned it up and made it into…

Things San Franciscans despise: sidewalk advertising
San Francisco is a city of people who are indecisive and disagreeable. We even manage to disagree about really basic things, to the point where basic issues like panhandling and slow public transportation go unsolved for decades. But when corporations use litter and graffiti as a form of advertising, San Franciscans have a rare moment…
