After I graduated from college, I moved to Maine for a year to start my own company in the supply chain AI space. But after living in the Northeast for a year, shelling out over a thousand dollars each month on renting an apartment I often wasn't at because of the amount I was traveling for work, I decided to move back to my parents' house in the Bay Area. It made sense to move back home temporarily, from a career and financial perspective.

A series of small earthquakes rattled the Bay Area on Sunday morning. According to preliminary data from the U.S. Geological Society, four quakes shook the East Bay between 9:30 a.m. and 9:50 a.m.

"Long rest to the dead!" and similar expressions rang out through San Francisco's Mission District, Oakland's Fruitvale, and other locations throughout the Bay Area on November 1 and November 2, 2025, collectively referred to as the Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead). November 1 honors deceased children, while November 2 is the primary day to celebrate and honor deceased adults.

It breaks my heart to think about these kids going hungry,

The Mycological Society of San Francisco Fungus Fair includes the latest collection of expertly identified fungi collected in various locations in the Bay Area. These annual collections constitute a 50-year record of the early winter fungal diversity in our area. This historical information may become an important contribution to science as climate change affects our local ecosystems. In the San Francisco Bay Area, when the first rains tease up the chanterelles and porcini, fungus lovers head to the Fungus Fair.

When a Super Bowl event comes in, sometimes an individual region or a city will feel like this is theirs versus another and our job is to make the Super Bowl feel like it's everyone's,

According to the Gazetteer, an employee confirmed on Monday that the Noe Valley Tacolicious site at 4063 24th St. has closed for good. Tacolicious, which has locations in San Francisco's Marina and Mission districts as well as one spot in Palo Alto, no longer lists the Noe Valley outpost on its website. It's unclear what led to the store closure. SFGATE reached out to Tacolicious for comment but did not hear back by publication.

Automation, digitalization and geographic shifts are redefining our workforce needs and skill requirements.

Healthy, hot-cooked meals, exercise sessions and other services for older adults are on the chopping block in parts of the Bay Area as service providers feel the squeeze of shrinking government budgets. To save money, the Downtown Oakland Senior Center cut its Friday services and reduced its operations the rest of the work week by two hours a day in April.

Our police department is incredibly effective because they know and are part of the community they serve,

"This fund gives us the flexibility to meet the challenges of today while building the affordable housing systems our region will need tomorrow," said Noni Ramos, chief executive officer of the Housing Trust.

With their blistering, high-octane riffing and superb technical chops, one of the most formidable and resilient is Testament. Despite having enough lineup changes to rival the Fall, cancer scares and the 1990s grunge takeover that edged out cut-off denim for plaid shirts, Testament are still selling out tours, gnashing at the heels of the commercially dominating Big Four metal bands Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax and releasing new records with just as much vigour.

Flood advisories are in effect across the Bay Area as a storm system moves through the region this evening, according to the National Weather Service. The city of San Francisco and northern San Mateo County, including the cities of San Bruno, Pacifica and Millbrae, are under an advisory until 6:45 p.m., the weather service said. An advisory for western Santa Cruz County will run through 7:15 p.m. and includes the cities of Boulder Creek and Ben Lomond, according to the weather service.

The era of baking bread on a weekday morning or wearing pajama bottoms below an ironed shirt for video office meetings appears to be on the wane in the Bay Area. Lockdowns during the early stages of the COVID pandemic wrought seismic, lasting changes to the way people work, with full-time at-home employment leading to widely adopted hybrid mixes of remote and in-office work that remain popular among many workers and employers.

SB 79 helps change that by focusing more homes near rail stations - boosting ridership, cutting traffic and pollution, lowering household costs, and expanding access to jobs, schools and services.

I think what's encouraging is many of the Arab and Muslim states in the region have accepted this proposal, conditionally. The Israeli government has accepted it. And Hamas is entertaining it.

In August, California had 248,000 federal government jobs, according to seasonally adjusted numbers that Beacon Economics derived from monthly jobs reports released by the state Employment Development Department. During that same month, the Bay Area had 41,000 federal jobs, Beacon estimates show. August is the most recent month for which nonfarm payroll figures are available for the Bay Area and California.

One Bay Area woman has taken matters into her own hands and gone analog with her search for a mate, on a fairly grand scale. Lisa Catalano, a 42-year-old San Mateo woman who owns a vintage clothing business, has paid for a series of billboards that drivers on 101 on the Peninsula may have seen over the past several weeks.

TOMBOGO has never been just another streetwear label. The Bay Area-based brand, founded by designer Tommy Bogo, has consistently straddled the line between fashion, technology, and cultural commentary, building its reputation as a platform for creative expression and community participation. For Fall/Winter 2025, Bogo took that philosophy to New York Fashion Week, delivering a collection that felt more like a movement than a simple runway moment.

"It's a very panic driven situation," said Khanderao Kand.

"We are officially on the clock for Super Bowl 60 right here at home,"

all the characters on the show are human, and they inhabit a world that (mostly) resembles our own. Avi Shwooper, a lapsed Jew and a father working for a Spotify stand-in, is the closest thing the show has to a main character. But rather than focusing on just Avi, "Long Story Short" ambitiously delves into the lives of three generations of Avi's family across a timeline that jumps around from the 1990s to the 2020s.

Well, a carefully curated bar experience has never been hotter. With their controlled entrances, niche menus and unique design themes, speakeasies allow bar owners to target a (hopefully deep-pocketed) audience. Some speakeasies now cater to the young population's desire for low-stress third spaces, too, like at 13 Orphans, a new parlor for mahjong and merriment in Oakland. People are looking for venues where they can have conversations and connect on a more intimate level,
