Saturday Afternoon Roundup

Published Mar 12, 2011 · 6:30 AM PST / Updated Dec 29, 2018 · 7:24 PM PST

  • 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]
  • Fancy people had a dinner at Jardiniere to support the SF Zoo. Normally we'd be contractually obligated to poke fun at all the middle aged women wearing animal prints and looking a bit startled, but it was for the Zoo, so we'll let it slide. (Although: are those fishnets dolphin safe?) [SFWire]
  • Speaking of fancy people having dinner: an SFist reader spotted Clive Owen at Frances last night. [@PegWard]
  • Calm down, the Chronicle says a quake like Japan's is unlikely to hit the California coast. Actually, don't relax just yet, because a smaller quake here could be just as devastating. [Chron]
  • 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]
