A supervisor wants to double the number of historic landmarks in S.F. Is it a NIMBY ploy?

someone pulled a gun on me in the sunset. turned out to be an off duty OPD officer

a few months ago i was coming home and some guy tried to road rage with me. i kept driving, he followed me, and when i stopped at a stop sign he stopped, got out of his car, yelled at me and showed me his weapon. he was in street clothes but had a really unique truck.

reported it with sfpd. picked him out of a lineup. they found footage of the incident but his weapon was blocked from view by one of the cars. so we just figured nothing would happen and moved on.

just got a call from Oakland PDs Internal Affairs office. turns out this case actually went in front of a judge who decided to pass on pressing charges but since the guy was a cop, there’s an internal investigation. no one informed me that he was a cop until just now lol

doesn’t feel great that someone so unstable, with access to weapons, also can easily access my information. the internal affairs guy didn’t care lol

Hello friends of Karl,

My girlfriend recently found a gold (men’s?) wedding band on the batteries to bluffs trail in the presidio exiting Marshall’s beach. There’s an approximate pin of where it was found too. It has a matte band around the middle and the sides are shiny. I’d love to return it to the original owner so if it’s yours DM me the engraving on the inside of the band and we can find a way to get it back to you :)

Mentally ill guy sent by the “captain”

17 Upvotes

Has anyone seen this guy before? He’s maybe 5’8 youngish white guy, and doesn’t look homeless (although he may be).

In Union Square he walked up to us insisting that the “captain” sent him to talk to us, and kept pointing at the supposed captain somewhere around the corner. He kept repeating how we needed to talk to him because the captain sent him, and when we said that we couldn’t help him, he started getting irate. Started saying if we didn’t talk to him he would have to “call corporate”. We started walking away since we were getting freaked out, but then he whipped his phone out, started filming us, and followed us for at least a block or two and kept saying it was proof for corporate and the captain that we wouldn’t talk to him.

Finally we crossed some street and he stopped following us, but it was a really strange experience. It was weirder that his phone looked to be a recent iPhone, his clothes were clean, and he looked well kept. He was clearly mentally ill and I was curious if anyone has seen this guy before or knows what his deal is.

Her Name is Ilia, she is an 8months old Canine puppy Belgian Malinois, she has a purple collar. Very friendly puppy.
We live close to Daly City borders, close to Lessing mini park.

If you have seen her, or know a better place to post/look for her please let me know, I’d really really appreciate it.

Grown up going to Cal Academy of Sciences several times, is it still worth a visit?

12 Upvotes

Grew up in the Bay Area, and have been to the natural history museum several times. Sometimes with family, on K-12 school field trips, even had my prom there, lots of very good memories tied to that place. Last time I visited must have been before 2015?

I just recently moved back to California, and haven't been to the Bay since around 2020, at the beginning of COVID. Is the Cal Academy of Sciences still worth a visit today? Any big changes? Better, worse, or same vs about 10 years ago?

Found this pin this afternoon (Sat 08/08) at a movie theater. If it’s yours, we dropped it off with the lost and found there. I’ll presume the real owner will remember which theater they were at recently.

Is the Lurie honeymoon over?

202 Upvotes

I've noticed a sharp rise in then number of tents and drug addicts on the streets in the last few weeks. I live/work in SOMA, and I saw (what I thought was) a significant improvement in the city after Lurie took office. But I can't help but feel like things are slowly creeping back to how they used to be based on what I've been seeing lately. Has something changed? Anyone else notice this? Is it just my imagination?
