Say Hello to Muni Diaries’ New Look!

Leave a comment

You might have noticed that Muni Diaries is sporting a spiffier look today. Things are tidier, prettier, and easier to find. Our number one goal is to make Muni Diaries the best place for you to share and read stories about life in transit in San Francisco. We hope you like it!

Our graphic designer for the new look is Craig Fowler, who patiently worked with us to maintain and enhance the overall feel of the site. Our web developer is Zoe Rooney, who turned Craig’s vision into reality and added back-end capabilities that will make our lives 100 times easier.

Every day we are amazed at the stories and photos that you share with your fellow riders. Thanks to everyone who has helped to make this community possible, and please share your feedback about the redesign or anything else with us!

Finding portraits like the photo of this serious young man is often the highlight of my week at Muni Diaries. In a few weeks we will be honoring all the amazing photographers in the city in our very urban, very San Francisco photo show with the Harvey Milk Photo Center. Stay tuned for more details.

On Monday, you’ll see a new version of the site as well. It’s our second redesign in the last four years. We’re still just three people blogging from our living rooms, but we want to make Muni Diaries the best space for you to share a slice of life in San Francisco. Hope you’ll like it.

Enjoy these photos and your weekend!

Visiting Muni’s Kirkland bus yard

2 comments

Marcin was recently allowed into Muni’s Kirkland Yard (which I’m looking at through the window as I type) for a tour. Here’s some of the recap that Marcin sent us:

The Kirkland bus yard, near Pier 39, is one of the smallest and oldest bus yards in San Francisco. It is dedicated solely to diesel buses running mostly neighbouring lines, and some express routes too. …

There are typically over one hundred buses leaving this yard every weekday morning for the rush hour; I visited on the weekend, when it was much quieter and many of the buses were still on the site.

Neato. Read more at Marcin’s site.

F-Market Photo Exhibit Opens Tomorrow

Those who rely on it on a daily basis have their share of gripes, mostly justifiable. Those who admire their machinery and mere existence snap photos and block crosswalks to see them in action. There is a little overlap between these two groups. Either way, they are a sight to behold, and one fairly unique to San Francisco.

In conjunction with Muni’s centennial celebration, the Harvey Milk Photo Center in Duboce Park is presenting The F-Line Inside-Out: Photographic works showcasing San Francisco’s historic streetcars. Here are the deets:

Exhibition Dates: Nov. 9, 2012 through Jan. 5, 2013
Opening reception: Friday, Nov. 9, 6 to 8:30 p.m.
Location: Harvey Milk Photo Center, 50 Scott Street (Duboce Park), (415) 554-9522
