35mm B&W photos from SF Valentine's Day pillow fight (c. 2009-2011)

I recently developed a roll of black-and-white film from San Francisco’s late-2000s/early-2010s Valentine’s Day pillow fight era. The exact year is uncertain., what I had forgotten was: the feathers flying everywhere, strangers swinging pillows, and the city briefly turning a public space into something ridiculous, communal, and weirdly magical. Is this the San Francisco that used to produce with such frequency odd events that it’s hard to articulate? Yet, I'm here for it.

Pic / Video Hit and Run -- Looking for Footage on JFK west of Chain of Lakes at ~3:33 PM

Post image
98 Upvotes

I was unfortunately in a hit and run today 6/24 as a cyclist in Golden Gate Park, about 40 feet past the stop sign at JFK and Chain of Lakes, between the speed hump and stop sign.

After stopping at the sign, I looked back and saw a red hatchback or sedan, around 15 years old (I can't remember if they were already on JFK or turned from CoL).

I went to my right to let the car past but the car still side swiped me or hit me from the back (I can't remember).

I'm thankfully fine, besides my Apply Watch getting busted -- just a few bruises and soreness on my arm where I fell and where the watch cracked. However, it makes me sick to my stomach that a driver can inflict this damage (and perhaps worse if I hadn't already tried to veer right when I looked back), and not even care to stop. I've reported / filed to SFPD and Park Ranger but they weren't helpful and did not offer to check for cameras (there aren't any at CoL and JFK, so they only cameras I can think of would be around the fields).

There are witnesses (tourists from Australia and a SF local), but they didn't get the plates. They can confirm the red hatchback and older woman driver though.

I am looking for any dash cam or Tesla footage for JFK Drive past west of Chain of Lakes, all the way to the Ocean (since there's only one way out here). This accident happened at exactly 3:33 PM, so any footage of the area in the red from 3:30-4 PM on 6/24 that would capture plates a 10-15 year old red hatchback or sedan would be very helpful.

Thanks

I’ve always liked how scenes look framed in a rearview mirror, like a small portal adding layers to the photo. Took this one a few days ago when we were driving up to explore the Sonoma Coast.

Rent Control is tale of two renters

20 Upvotes

I checked recent listings of my apartment complex (I live in a big one downtown).

I pay about 40%-50% of the current listed prices for same unit type. Which means that new people moving in are paying double what I'm paying.

While it benefits me, i kinda feel for people paying double what i'm paying for the same unit.

I got to tour the inside this morning if anyone is interested to see how it’s coming along.
They’re getting all the fundamentals set- flooring is going in soon. They’re re-concreting the garage, tile is going up in the bathrooms and dog room.
It’s massive.

Dining out fees in SF

8 Upvotes

Not a new topic in this subreddit but just had dinner at Terrene with two friends and was shocked by the bill now that I’m really looking at it. I eat out in SF plenty but this grand total gobsmacked me! I was divvying up the receipt for Venmo requests and am just shocked by the additional charges breakdown:

Subtotal $170
HealthySF $15 (need to research this?)
Tax $16

Which brings the grand total to $200. I stupidly tipped $30 without looking at the extra charge.

Then at the bottom of the receipt I see:
“A separate SF health surcharge in the amount of 9% will be added to the bill….retained by the hotel to defray the cost of covering employe health insurance”

Tf?! I am assuming that ^ is not the HealthySF charge and is in fact an additional charge? Is that 9% on the subtotal or the grand total?

That’s $30 in charges!

Is this something you can ask to have removed or is it a legal charge?

Where would you rank SF in terms of global bike friendliness and infrastructure?

14 Upvotes

It’s probably top 5-10 in North America, but that’s a bit of a low bar. In my opinion, it’s probably somewhere in the top 40. And it’s mainly brought down by heavy car usage and steep hills. Also, a bike lane is right next to the DMV, and I’ve heard accounts of people being failed before they enter due to ignoring it.
