Saturday Afternoon Roundup

  • iPad 2 re-sale racket digitally documented [YMFY]
  • Chronicle Editor-at-Large and former foreign war correspondent Phil Bronstein goes on his most dangerous assignment yet: a Friday night patrol in the Mission with the Guardian Angels. [@PhilBronstein]
  • 280 Fast, 280 Furious: Illegal street race ends in rollover crash. One of the vehicles involved was, in fact, a Honda Accord. [SFAppeal]
  • Valencia Street is getting it's first parklet and it's... grassy? [UptownAlmanac]
  • An account of Ed Lee's meeting with NY Mayor Michael Bloomberg: Lee made Bloomberg an honorary San Franciscan. Funny, we thought you had to live here for at least three years to get that kind of honor. (Sidenote: Maybe Bloomberg will have to start liking bikes now?) [BCN/SFAppeal]

  • CHP recommends bringing charges against the Golden Gate Bridge Jumper. [CBSLocal]
  • Missed it the first time around: What's the Matter with Berkeley? (Specifically: it's complete lack of live music venues, not all that other stuff that also bothers us about Berkeley.) [TheBayBridged]
  • Underground SF is for sale. As are the two 3-bedroom, light-filled apartments above it. [Haighteration]
