Your place to share stories on and off the bus.
Dhyana posted this celebration of coconuty chocolate on the Muni Diaries Facebook Page, noting this:
Maybe this is part of his oeuvre, a la Felix Gonzalez-Torres. It is so contemporary.
Either that or coconut macaroons are next. But really, though, what does this “sometimes” look like when it’s cupcakes, instead?
Ed of BART Don’t Lie and @bartdiaries fame sends along this really important scribbling, which he found aboard a 5-Fulton near Masonic yesterday.
I spent my wedding night at the Whitcomb, so I share this person’s pain. I just hope that management swiftly addresses these egregious crimes.

We found some non-royalties (as far as we know) whose wedding transportation of choice is a little more down to earth. Jeni and Keith met on the 5-Fulton, and the proposal happened right under the Muni shelter where they met. Their graphic designer, Molly Gaines, kept the Muni theme in the couple’s save-the-date cards.
Aw.
Muni is no stranger to love: we gathered all the wedding/love stories we have received in this year’s Valentine’s Day roundup, which includes Eric, who met his wife on the bus, and the love-ly Heather and Ed.
Congrats, Keith and Jeni!
Now, does anybody have Prince Harry’s phone number?

I can understand that Muni drivers sometimes need to pop out real quick for a bathroom break , but buying a lotto ticket? Really? Rider Donna C. sent us this email:
Just before 1 p.m., I was riding the #5 Fulton towards downtown when the muni driver pulled over at Fulton & Masonic, jumped out, grabbed a lotto ticket from the stand just outside the Fulton Food Shop, went inside to the cashier, opened his wallet, and presumably played his lotto ticket. There was an audible gasp among the passengers on the packed bus – no one could believe what they were seeing. He came out of the store, and got back on the bus as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened. I called in a formal complaint to muni – we’ll see what comes of it. I asked for someone to report back to me.
Drivers just can’t catch a break this week, it seems.

Anyone have a story involving this bus stop? Or the 5-Fulton or 21-Hayes in general? This is a good place to share it, if you do.
