Want to see some amazing photographs of our city? Head over to Schroeder’s Restaurant tonight for the opening of Streets of San Francisco, a photo show by Travis Jensen and Josh Sullivan. We know Travis from the photo collective All City, which has brought us some amazing transit photographs on Muni Diaries. And of course, public transportation stars prominently on our streets. You’ll see pictures like the photo in this post. Armed with 35mm film from a rooftop in the Financial District, Travis shot the two cable cars crossing paths on California Street.

At Streets of San Francisco, you’ll find “a diverse mix of urban landscapes, candid street scenes, and street portraiture.” I’m told that Schroeder’s is more than 100 years old and has never had an event like this.

Reports are pouring in on Twitter of an N-Judah that crashed into a dump truck in the Inner Sunset. The SF Examiner has the story (link now includes a photo gallery of the incident). Service is “stifled.” We’ll update as needed.
