"Broke-Ass Stuart is a San Francisco cultural icon, a once mayoral candidate, self-proclaimed rabble-rouser, avid world traveler, and one of the funniest people I've ever met, Supervisor Myrna Melgar said on September 30 when she introduced this resolution. In an era when publications keep vanishing faster than affordable apartments, Broke-Ass Stuart has stubbornly continued to publish independent local journalism, telling the stories of artists, workers, weirdos, activists, and all the people who make San Francisco wonderful."
"Well, they aren't giving me a key to the city because I obviously can't be trusted with it, he told us Tuesday. But in all seriousness, it's truly an honor to get this kind of recognition from the city that I love. I mean, where else can someone with a name as ridiculous as 'Broke-Ass Stuart' get a day named after them?"
San Francisco declared October 17 as Broke-Ass Stuart Day to honor Stuart Schuffman, known as Broke-Ass Stuart. Schuffman operates a longtime local blog, published travel books with Lonely Planet, hosted a TV show on IFC, and reported on high-profile bar closures. Schuffman ran for mayor, identifies as a rabble-rouser, and is an avid world traveler. The city honored his persistence in publishing independent local journalism that documents artists, workers, weirdos, activists, and other residents. The Board of Supervisors passed the resolution unanimously. Schuffman responded with humor about not receiving a key to the city.
