Video: Played out on the 19-Polk
A friend shared this video by Hail Mary Mallon the other day. The lyrical reference is to the 19-Polk, and the visuals are pretty cool. Contains some NSFW language.
Enjoy.
Photo Diary: The Undead Waits for Muni
Photo by Lilah Johnson
The Day of the Dead procession is hands-down my favorite event of the year in San Francisco – amazing costumes, a calm and beautiful spirit, and sometimes, even some lively fun. This year I spotted this huge skeleton who took over a Muni shelter and made it his own photo booth, inviting all to join him for some silly poses. It was an instant hit and the crowd gathered around the Muni shelter like paparazzi but in a good way.

Muni strikes pedestrian, who suffers serious head injury (update)
Photo by Ryan S.
Update (3:21 p.m.): Sad news, you guys. The victim, whose name hasn’t been released, has taken a turn for the worse. SFGate reports that her condition has gone from serious to critical.
Original post: An M-Ocean View struck a pedestrian at 19th Avenue and Junipero Serra yesterday evening. According to Bay City News (via SF Appeal):
The 19-year-old pedestrian was struck by a Muni vehicle on the M-Ocean View line. She suffered head trauma and was taken to San Francisco General Hospital, where she was in serious but stable condition as of this morning, according to police.
It’s unclear whether the vehicle was an M-Ocean View light-rail or shuttle bus; SF Weekly reports that it was a bus, while SF Appeal says it was an LRV. We’ll update as we learn more about the incident.
