<p>We put this in yesterday's <a href="http://sfist.com/2009/08/17/day_around_the_bay_272.php">Day Around the Bay</a>, but since so many of you reacted with <a href="http://sfist.com/2009/08/17/day_around_the_bay_272.php#comment-2314314">pure</a>, <a href="http://sfist.com/2009/08/17/day_around_the_bay_272.php#comment-2314315">unadulterated</a> <a href="http://sfist.com/2009/08/17/day_around_the_bay_272.php#comment-2314350">rage</a>, we feel it necessary to give it its very own post. What we're talking about is this: resurrecting the <a href="http://sfist.com/2009/07/30/74x_culture_bus_ends.php">CultureBus 74x</a>. See, a <a href="http://sfappeal.com/news/2009/08/culture-bus.php">new site popped up</a> this weekend, <a href="http://www.restorethe74.org">RestoreThe74</a>, which bemoans the loss of the little, yellow, different 74x that got you from one richly-textured SF landmark to the next, in record time with record leg room. </p>

<p><a href="http://www.restorethe74.org">RestoreThe74</a> urges for the return of the 74x. Its mission statement is simple: </p>

<blockquote>Remember a simpler time? When you could ride a bus from cultural landmark to cultural landmark, marveling as the city unfurled beneath your wheels? Every day for a couple of hours, the Culture Bus -- the 74x -- set off every sixty minutes to tell the story of San Francisco, all for the price of a very bad haircut. And there was always plenty of room to stretch out. <strong>It’s time to bring it back.</strong>
</blockquote>

<p>And how. </p>

<p>Sadly, there's already talk of anti-74x hate sites on the horizon, manned by angry people who want to turn SF into a culture-free zone. Can AbhorThe74 be far behind? Stay tuned, or <a href="http://sfappeal.com/news/2009/08/culture-bus.php">read more about it over at SFAppeal</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[UPDATE: Teen Shot to Death Inside Metreon Megaplex]]></title><description><![CDATA[Although almost every single one of you have fantasized about doing it at some point -- especially on 24th Street, where for some inexplicable reason people ooze down the street like lava -- you rarel...]]></description><link>https://sfist.com/2007/11/13/update_teen_sho/</link><guid isPermaLink="false">5c24250d44ad066cdcf32d66</guid><category><![CDATA[SF News]]></category><category><![CDATA[death]]></category><category><![CDATA[fire]]></category><category><![CDATA[Jr]]></category><category><![CDATA[metreon]]></category><category><![CDATA[michaelprice]]></category><category><![CDATA[murder]]></category><category><![CDATA[people]]></category><category><![CDATA[shooting]]></category><category><![CDATA[slow]]></category><category><![CDATA[walking]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Brock Keeling]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 13 Nov 2007 11:33:36 GMT</pubDate><media:content url="https://img.sfist.com/assets_c/2009/04/entry133212_thumb-thumb-640xauto-168735.jpg" medium="image"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="https://img.sfist.com/assets_c/2009/04/entry133212_thumb-thumb-640xauto-168735.jpg" alt="UPDATE: Teen Shot to Death Inside Metreon Megaplex"><p>Although almost every single one of you have fantasized about doing it at some point -- especially on 24th Street, where for some inexplicable reason people ooze down the street like lava -- you rarely act upon it. A group of vile teens, however, did. It seems that the reason for last <a href="http://sfist.com/2007/11/12/teen_to_death_i.php">Sunday's brazen shooting death inside the Metreon</a> was over an argument about walking too slow down an escalator. Really. </p>

<p>The 15-year-old mental case that murdered Michael Price Jr., according to the Chronicle, "opened fire after he got into an argument over the victim's having not traveled fast enough down an escalator, investigators said Monday." Price was shot three times as he was trying to flee the group of teens. </p>

<p>This is the <a href="http://sfist.com/2007/09/16/shooting_outsid_1.php">second shooting-related death</a> to happen within the Metreon's, um, energy field.</p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
