Remember just last week when Sutro Tower was sad and blue? No one was paying any attention to the Bay Area because of Southern Cali and their attention-seeking wildfires. Thanks to a 5.6 earthquake and tonight's "Will there be a Halloween in the Castro or not?" question plaguing the minds of locals and bridge and tunnelers alike, San Francisco is back on top! Even KRON, whose top story was still the wildfires as of......

Hey! What about us? SFGate, KRON, KTVU, don't you care about San Francisco anymore? We understand that the fires down south are awesomely devastating, but there's still stuff going on here that we need to know about...isn't there? We feel so neglected. Pay attention to us, pretty please? We promise we'll be good, and stay out of the Castro on Halloween. We'll even maybe pretend to care about mayoral elections. Well, if we try, will......

And if you thought the previous paragraph......

You'd think that for a city on a fault line, situated right next to the world's biggest proving ground for new technology, the Bay Area could come up with a better class of super villains and evil geniuses. Giant robots tromping down Market Street, mind control rays broadcast from Sutro Tower, sheesh, even some sea lions with frickin' laser beams on their heads terrorizing tourists at Pier 39. But no, all we get are......

We ranted about the City's lack of any free access to NBC months ago, but it looks like KNTV might finally be nearing the completion of that tower they've been promising us for years. If that's true, cable-less and dish-less viewers will be able to change that dial old-school style to channel 11 and bask in the glow of the Technicolor Peacock once again, maybe as soon as next week. Too bad they weren't......

Surely you're just dying to know something, right? So what is it? Where to get glass cut? What to do about that ex who keeps stalking you? Why the Sutro Tower is red and white and not plaid? Who sings that song that's stuck in your head? How best to mate with attractive members of the opposite sex while hanging upside down from a lamppost? What's up with James Joyce and that stupid eye patch?......
