Well that certainly was lively, wasn't it? Our post about the proposal to shoot SF with a Los-Angeles-gun by adding parking to the city (and subtracting everything else) attracted tons of comments, with some very well-put arguments on both sides of the issue.

This isn't just tonight -- it's for all month -- but it's so cool we're making it the pick of the day! Bank of America customers, you can flash your ATM card or credit card and you and a guest get into a bunch of local museums for free, free, free! (Wells Fargo card holders, you'll have to pay not only admission but also a $2.50 service charge. Kidding, kidding.) Offer applies to the SFMOMA, the Asian Art Museum, the California Academy of Sciences, the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Dede's DeYoung, and the Legion of Honor. We've been meaning to check out the Picasso show at the SFMOMA and now we've got no excuse! more ›

People who ride the bus to work every day have nothing better to do than take a very long lunch -- twice -- and head over to SPUR's office to talk at length about public transit policy. Sounds like fun! There's two Muni-related and parking-related meetings coming up and open to the public (no snacks provided, but "feel free to bring a lunch"), so pencil them into your iCal now. If you're the kind of person who wakes up and then sits around the house in your lacy underthings all day thinking, "oh man, I wish I could be talking about congestion management," you are SO in luck. more ›
