It's our column about the sartorial elegance that is the District 6 supervisor election! This week's episode: Everybody Hates A T-Shirt.

Everyone welcome our newest food contributor, SFist Mary! SFisters are forced to lighten up our menus as the warm weather continues. The burning questions on what to eat and drink looms large.
