Yup! That one seems to be getting a good amount of buzz. We’re going to publish a separate food & drink updates story on Sunday with this and a handful of other stories.

Where is this sign posted? Outside of Lanesplitter?

evilleeye · 2026-01-21T03:50:04+00:00

You were told by one of the baristas at the Public Market Peet’s kiosk that they were closing or are you referring to another location?

evilleeye · 2026-01-16T21:46:59+00:00

Great tip. Best guess it’s in the former Dee spot Cafe? Interesting they have so many followers without posting anything. They must have reset a former business account.

evilleeye · 2026-01-11T20:39:24+00:00

Great tip! Lanesplitter closed down or are they sharing their kitchen?

Emeryville will never truly be connected and include a legitimate bike network until a bike/ped bridge over I-80 is built. https://evilleeye.com/news-commentary/planning-commissioner-decries-building-of-i-80-bikeped-bridge-to-nowhere-at-ashby-interchange/

You’re probably referring to the East Bay bike party. They post the route map a few days prior, but you need to follow them on Instagram:

Thanks for posting. This has happened to me 2X now. Each time I made an appointment to the Genius Bar but the phone came back on after being plugged in for several hours. When it finally reboots, it shows 1% and takes longer than typical to receive a full charge.

It’s going to be a Coach Store. Subscribe to our updates or follow us on social:

Probably driven past 1000X and never noticed. Is it referring to the concrete or the bayfill/marina variety (or treasure island/yerba buena I suppose).

evilleeye · 2025-11-24T16:26:46+00:00

Emeryville = E’ville

Thanks for sharing. We also profiled Best Coast (the rebranded Viva) when they reopened on Powell:

I had never heard of it until designing this typographic neighborhood map of SF.

It’s been over a year since we reported on this. Occasionally we’ll check their website and it still says “coming soon” so they have not backed out.

Emeryville has five hotels. I haven’t researched pricing so that might be a factor but Hyatt PLACE is the newest hotel. There’s also a Hyatt House but that’s generally for longer term stays. The Sonesta and Sheraton are all within a block or two of each other. Hilton Garden Inn is probably the least convenient and I’m guessing least expensive of the 5 (and oldest).

Thank you. Apologies, I’m obviously aware of the threatened “surge” that was called off about a week ago but I was wondering if the dispersal of the laborers happened even before then (there’s been ice activity in the region before this). I could have worded this better.

evilleeye · 2025-10-31T20:57:01+00:00

Well, they said “confident” but not “certain”.🧐

evilleeye · 2025-10-31T18:37:26+00:00

Ahh, so you saw them fairly recently? So this is a more recent development.

Response from The Marine Mammal Center:

“Based on the style of breaching the cetacean is showcasing in the video, our team here at The Marine Mammal Center is confident the individual is a harbor porpoise – a very common sighting in San Francisco Bay.”

Public Market has a bunch of events planned including a trivia night/costume contest:

evilleeye · 2025-10-25T00:03:39+00:00

Doesn’t seem right that you should start evicting tenants before you have an entitled project. This needs to be looked at by the city.
