Much to our surprise, the motion that almost allowed our fair Mayor Gavin Newsom to eschew his monthly cameos Board of Supervisor meeting was tabled. That is to say, it was killed. Dead. According to Sweet Melissa recounts today's nail-biting Board of Supes meeting thusly: more ›

• Supervisor Michela Alioto-Pier sues City Hall over wheelchair ramplessness. [Curbed]
• Beth Spotswoodle [sic] hits up SFO's gay night. [SFGate]
• Valleywag 's happy hour watering hole, Moose's, comes to an end. Might we suggest the St. Regis or Ginger's Trois as a replacement? No? Okay. [Valleywag]

Aaron, what's going on? Things okay at home? You can tell us, man. Because: more ›

We thought that this issue was neatly swept under the rug. What gives? Is the neighborhood patrol still kicking it in the Western Addition? Well, time to come home, fuzz. It looks like someone in the Marina/Cow Hollow vicinity was recently attacked, and SFist won't rest until San Francisco is a solid police state. more ›

In a Spearsian like maneuver, looking to trump both the recent storm and the Dhaliwal brothers, oil spill made a comeback this morning. It seems that a crane fell off of a san Francisco pier a little before 10 a.m. this morning, spilling "an unknown amount" of oil into the Bay. According to the Gate, "[t]he crane was on a sliding rail system at a dry dock at Pier 70 when it suddenly tilted to one side and fell into the water." more ›

Chucky appears to be back on the homeless beat this week with two stories about it. One is something that might piss people off, the other something that might not piss people off. We'll start with the one that might piss people off one first so we can cheer everyone up at the end with the one that won’t piss people off and make the post heart-warming, just in time for the holidays. more ›

Starting out this week, Peck the Town Crier is celebrating his sophomore CD, Groundhog's Day by performing at Pier 23. You can hang out with this San Franciscan native from 7:30-10:30 for absolutely nothing - it's free. "Recorded at the famed Hyde St Studios in San Francisco, Groundhog’s Day blends Peck’s unique story-raps and verbiage with hand played instrumental arrangements that pull from the gambit of [great] American music..." It's a bit weird, a bit... more ›

Update: Gale Force winds and a small craft advisory will keep crabbers fisher(people?) off of the Bay. Clearly, God hates us. Bastard. more ›

How the church appeared on November 13. This Friday -- Black Friday -- Michaela Alioto-Pier's little neighborhood that thrives on ridicule will become a little more ridicule-less. At 9 a.m., Pacific Standard Time, on the day of November twenty-third, two thousand and seven, the store at 2125 Chestnut will open its doors. And at that moment? Apple will welcome in its third San Francisco store, completing the trilogy started by its flagship location on... more ›

But, and we hate to admit it, they sure do look pretty together. (The image above has been set as our desktop background!) But as attractive as oil and water looks on rain-soaked driveways and in Carmel-y art pieces, it's not worth it when it's in our Bay. It tends to cause inexcusable damage. (Where, like, fish and mermaids and stuff totally die, you know.) Take, for example, this morning's container ship that rammed... more ›

Mere days after the head of the environmental department broke with Aaron Peskin and other city leaders on a Public Utilities Commission policy, this week Peskin introduced a wee bit of legislation that would obliterated said department. Yoinks. more ›

It's on! Gavin Newsom's finally pulled the trigger (.pdf), and Ed Jew is out (at least for now). What odds do you have on poor beleagued Ed Jew lawyer Steven Gruel filing a request for reinstatement with the federal court later today? Being Ed Jew's lawyer has to be the worst job ever, except possibly being a nanny for Britney Spears. more ›

It's the latest in the Tsk Tsk Supervisorial codes of conduct battle front! more ›

The Blue Angels get to stay. Vroom. Woosh. more ›

As promised, non-mayoral candidate Chris Daly's proposing his nonbinding resolution to ban the Blue Angels from flying over San Francisco at the Governmental Audit and Oversight Committee meeting today. more ›

Well, at least he lives in the Richmond, right? (Some) affordable housing advocates and ethicists are shaking their heads over District 1 Supervisor Jake McGoldrick's poor party timing this week. more ›

Oh, Michela Alioto-Pier! Our favorite absentee supervisor finally straggled on in to an actual committee meeting, only to find out that the code of conduct she's proposing for the supervisors has loopholes big enough for a Mack truck to drive though. more ›

Happening "primarily on Chestnut Street [with a some attacks happening] near Fillmore and Greenwich, two to three [persons] dressed in all black wearing Halloween skeleton masks" and brandishing guns, it seems, committed at least 11 attacks on men and women over the past three weeks. Grabbed while walking on the sidewalk -- including one woman who was reportedly forced into her apartment -- the victims were all robbed of their personal belongings (i.e., backpacks, purses, phones, sunglasses, sense of security, etc.) during the violent encounters. more ›

Confirming what we heard yesterday, quote-unquote "District 4" Supervisor Ed Jew, along with Michela Alioto-Pier and Jake McGoldrick, showed up for yesterday's committee hearing to find out who exactly took those 300 trash cans off the streets of San Francisco. (Turns out it was DPW, who just went ahead and did it without telling anyone first.) more ›

Thanks to Sweet Melissa, watching the Board of Supes meeting today so we didn't have to (hey, did Michela Alioto-Pier clear her schedule out and make it in?), who reports the following from the public comment session: more ›

Bueller? Bueller? Bueller? That's right, everyone's favorite supervisorial class-cutter, District 2's Michela Alioto-Pier, missed yet another committee meeting on Monday. more ›

Today and tomorrow only, Aquarium of the Bay at Pier 39 is playing host to a 25-foot-long, two-ton salmon called "Fin." It's part of the travelling road show by an organization called "Save Our Wild Salmon" that hopes to curtail the depletion of endangered salmon in the Northwest by building support to remove the four lower Snake River dams in Washington State. The road show, called "Extinction Stops Here!" has in recent days been in Marin, Vallejo, Oakland, and Berkeley. more ›
