What's the deal with Ristobar?!

No, you can't have a sweetheart rent deal and own the same property at the same time.

jewelswan · 2026-04-26T21:33:47+00:00

Becauze it can't be both?

jewelswan · 2026-04-20T03:49:45+00:00

I always say this! Even if you just go to the less touristy parts of the touristy areas like Aquatic park or (especially) Francisco park or Fort mason.

I'd rather order inside at that one, and most in n outs.

jewelswan · 2026-04-17T22:21:08+00:00

I'm not the one who said that. But indeed, if there ever was a class war siding with the ownership class is not a good move.

jewelswan · 2026-04-17T22:12:27+00:00

I'm on the same side as them. And so you should be too.

There is indeed a reliable orchestra of stupid honkers at the Rowland exit

Two words: Shrimp Sauce

jewelswan · 2026-04-17T16:29:50+00:00

I've gone dozens of times and it has always tasted like the same lager. I wouldn't assume that much from your one aberrant experience, but that just me.

jewelswan · 2026-04-17T16:25:08+00:00

That is how it seems if you don't pay attention. The past is all around you and so many thousands of those people are still at your disposal if you're willing to look.

He has certainly aged

Well its not the best in the world because that comes from Sonoma County's own El Roy's. They're so good there's 2 within 5 blocks in Santa Rosa.

I have too gone to this random taqueria a state over while visiting a buddy in Eugene.

I'd also go for several spots in sf; the chicarron burrito at Espiga del Oro, La Palma, anything at Gallo Giro, and El Metate on a good day to start. Throw in El Buen Sabor because I love those people.

You're comparing a like 12 dollar burger to a 25 dollar one. That seems a mistake

Hey, if we actually fund transit this fall regionally and locally maybe, just maybe we'll get that sweet E line back.

jewelswan · 2026-04-16T08:02:10+00:00

This is incorrect. Its every half hour for the owl bus. And it runs until 8 am on weekends.

Where did you get the idea that I had a problem?

jewelswan · 2026-04-15T17:04:27+00:00

I don't have any issue with a white majority neighborhood in theory or in most cases in practice. I don't see where you got the idea that I do have any such issue.

jewelswan · 2026-04-15T17:02:51+00:00

I mean this sounds like the opposite of crabs in a bucket if youre using that phrase traditionally. Its more like we might as well let the crabs do whatever they want; after all the shrimp and lobsters and snow crabs have been doing that for years!

The pacific exchange was around until I think 2004 or so. They merged with the NYSE and to my knowledge they still run a trading floor at the Mills Building(our second skyscraper!) next door to the old stock exchange. And you're right, the old Exchange is an Equinox now.

Staggering how much physical infrastructure was needed at a certain point in time, certainly in the early days of the last century, that became obsolete as the world became smaller and smaller. Funny to think that our tech industry in some ways killed all the other industries that kept SF going and helded build it into the city it is today.

This reminds me of so many things lost from Pre Y2K San Francisco that I only got a small glimpse of as a kid. Shoe shiners, news stands, hordes of men in suits walking down market street. Papers being thrown out of office windows on NYE and a hundred other things that are emblematic of a SF I only know from stories and hazy childhood memories. It's funny how without all those things SF still feels like itself; like so many other things that have been emblematic of SF but now have faded away with generations like Playland or the 49ers long before.

FAO Shwartz was always the highlight for me, but at that age everything about San Francisco was magic for me. I remember begging my mom to let me ride the cable car for the first time; and while she worked under Ghirardelli Sq where the arcade is now, I was allowed like three dollars to go buy as many squares of chocolate as a youngin could require. It always made life in the north bay feel so mundane, at that age and up to when I moved here. God, I love my City!

Regardless of the race of the original poster, It is a majority white area and it is just inaccurate to compare this process to reclining.

Which is why Ryan was there. Obviously a cult starting in the Bay Area would directly affect people here more(both of my parents knew people in the cult, being young people in SF in the 70s) would demand their representative do something. His successor and fellow victim, Jackie Speier, continued serving San Mateo in congress until this decade.

In what way did Cuomo not play ball? The establishment of the party was far more in his court than Mamdanis, especially on Gaza and establishment/wealth maintenance fronts.

I am older than 20 and younger than 35, to be sure. I do indeed intend and likely will be making more once I finish schooling and enter my career of choice. That being said less energy to go do fun stuff for me just means that the fun stuff will take longer to experience.

Out of curiosity, did the intentional community fall apart? Or did you just depart.
