Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow

It snowed in the Bay Area this weekend -- the first March snowstorm since 1896. And we're not just talking snow like in the Sierras or maybe on the top of Mount Tam

SFist Raves: Moving Pictures

We're kind of on a pro-BART kick today -- which may be due in part to the fact that we've been taking the BART down to Millbrae all week. We understand that not

Slow News Day: Ring Found!

Boy, nothing happens right before the holidays, huh? But nonetheless, we're pleased to report that someone is now claiming that she found the heirloom ring that a See's Candies worker lost in a

Your Commute: Bad Day For The VTA

Man, today's not the VTA's day. The San Jose light rail was shut down for about an hour and a half to clear out the carcass of a truck making an illegal left

Kepler's Bookstore Closes

This is really just awful. Kepler's, the Menlo Park independent bookstore and jewel of the South Bay, suddenly announced that it was closing today -- for good. Kepler's has apparently been having problems

A Day at the Races

Yesterday was a big day for race fans of both the four-wheeled variety and the two-legged variety. First, the Taylor Woodrow Grand Prix of San Jose finished up a wild weekend with Sebastien

Newsflash: South Bay Fun not oxymoron

First, you could go to the Gilroy Garlic Festival. Gastronomically, this is probably your best bet, gastrointestinally, it's questionable. Sadly, they aren't running the train down there this year, which really takes the

'Cause everyone loves news about animals! Unsafe sex kills, people -- 12 penguins at the SF Zoo have died of chlamydia. We don't even want to know what's going on in that penguin

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, which is sort of a dreary topic but an important one. San Francisco Women Against Rape is one of the local resources women (and those who love

Your Commute: Back That Thing Up

Bummer to be driving down to the South Bay today -- a fire truck jackknifed on the San Mateo Bridge and completely blocked all eastbound traffic. The fire truck was on the way

Your Commute: Who Ya Gonna Call?

Boo! BART riders suffered additional indignities this morning, as the system struggled to exorcise the "ghost train" that somehow got onto the system. For some reason, the computer system became convinced there was

Your Commute: Decongestants

We have that cold that's going around (sniffle), so maybe that's why we find this decongesting plan so intriguing -- but Jake McGoldrick, chair of the SF Transportation Authority (and Chris Daly confrontation

BART!

For those of you wondering why BART has been almost MUNI-like, it's because of a little software glitch that's throwing everything off. Due to that little glitch, switching equipment is malfunctioning somewhere between
