“Hmmmm, Zack Galifianakis is that you? No, just a lookalike!”
Nice papoose, dad.

Decorating Muni Streetcars for the Holidays
Inside streetcar 1818 as it’s being decorated for the holidays
Last Saturday, Tara and I joined folks from Market Street Railway in what has become an annual tradition: The hanging of wreaths, streamers, and garlands on the historic F-Market/Wharves streetcars.
Here are a few of our behind-the-scenes shots. Look for car 1818 (already a green-and-red livery) on the streets in all its holiday glory soon!
MSR volunteers adorn the outside of car 1818 with garlands

Car 496 (Melbourne) also got some love on Saturday from the volunteers
In memory of streetcar No. 106 (update)
Update: Over on Market Street Railway’s blog today, they provide more background on streetcar No. 106. Read the MSR post for more.
Original post: You already know that we loves us some tattoos of the Muni worm and Muni vehicles. So this little treat in our submission inbox the other day put a big ol’ smile on our faces. From Alex:
The car in the tattoo and that Alex refers to is No. 106, a Moscovite awaiting restoration by the good folks at Market Street Railway. We hope to see car 106 on the streets of San Francisco someday soon. Thanks, Alex. And, nice tattoo!

Photo Diary: Someone to Watch Over Muni

The illustrious Doc Pop sent us an adorable Postagram (picture below) the other day of these stuffed animals watching over the Potrero Yard. Here they are again, by reader Raymond Ruiz and Nick Fisher. There is always room for cuties on the bus.

One more, with the tiny animals on the left all lined up and standing at attention this time…

5 Reasons to Thank Muni (Really)
Photo by Danny Howard
1. Being the background to contagious, inexplicable laughter.
2. Having drivers who are patient enough to wait as we sprint toward the bus.
3. Being the vehicle for a Lady Gaga Poker Face sing-along.
4. Speaking of singing, lots of us are thankful for the singing driver who makes announcing the stops a daily entertainment.
5. Being the absolutely essential element in gorgeous photographs of San Francisco, like in this black and white photo gallery of Muni.
Got your own reasons? Let us know. We’re always thankful for your stories, comments, and photos, any day of the year.
