Did you know that Crocker Galleria, downtown's most shy and misunderstood shopping center, has a farmers' market? It's true. They do. Each Tuesday and Thursday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., the former home of Versace hosts approximately 20 certified growers and food producers.
Tablehopper at Crocker Galleria Farmers' Market This Thursday
Wednesdays, The New Wednesdays
If Wednesday was attacking your face instead of your liver, you'd do something about it. Today: It's summer! The time of the year where the city sponsors random music concerts in the middle of the day! If you make your way to Union Square at noon today, you can check out the rockabilly band Panther Slim, and if you're near the Crocker Galleria, it's Silk Steel. Concerts will go on around downtown through September.
Explosion at the Crocker Galleria
There's been an underground explosion at Post and Kearny, right outside the Ralph Lauren store at the Crocker Galleria. At around 10 a.m., people said they heard an explosion and saw the sidewalk rise up about 6-7 inches. Two manhole covers were blown off, as was a concrete cover, and the explosion blew up the glass front of the Ralph Lauren store. One woman was sent to the hospital with serious, but not life-threatening, burns. We wish her a speedy recovery.
The authorities suspect that an underground transformer blew, but the bomb squad is going in before they let PG&E look around. Parts of Post, Sutter, Montgomery, and Kearny have been cordoned off as the investigation continues.
Not a good day for PG&E, who just got hit with a possible $15 million fine for the 2003 above-ground transformer explosion. In other news, there was also a bomb scare at Civic Center (which was cleared without incident) around the same time. Meanwhile, the authorities are also worrying that the beached whale we told you about in Half Moon Bay might explode as well. (Really!)
Also -- Flickr users, ABC News 7 wants to use your digital photos of the blast if you have any.
