For mango lovers, the day has come. Hundreds of Indian Alphonso and Kesar mangoes will be distributed for free, as volunteers peel and slice the fruit on the spot. (Pre-cutting degrades quality.)

An adult male surfer died at Ocean Beach Thursday afternoon after being rescued by an off-duty National Park Service lifeguard and three on-duty lifeguards.

Video shows the vessel striking the pier as it docked, with several passengers saying the impact knocked people off their feet and turned a scenic trip into a frightening experience. Olivia RiosAcuña said her son expected a good day because he loves boats, but the collision made it the worst day ever. She said the family spent much of the day on the deck before going downstairs as the ferry prepared to dock, then heard a loud noise and felt the whole boat shake.

All lanes on San Francisco's 19th Avenue have fully reopened ahead of schedule following the completion of a final, multi-round road repair project.

This weekend's closure affects 19th Avenue between Sloat Boulevard and Holloway Avenue. Crews are working on the northbound lanes during the day and the southbound lanes at night. One lane remains open for public transit, emergency responders and local traffic. Caltrans is urging drivers to use alternate routes. "We're really pushing Junipero Serra this weekend, but you c

OMI Cultural Participation Project warmly invites the general public, press, elected officials and all Bay Area media outlets to step into the spotlight at the annual San Francisco Ocean Avenue Car Show, happening on Saturday, May 30th, 2026 from Noon-3PM! San Francisco, CA 94112

At the six-month mark, he abruptly changed course. That's when Lurie's chief of health and human services, Kunal Modi, announced that the administration had chosen to focus on adding the "right" beds rather than seeking a "magic number." The "right" kind of beds included those with sobriety requirements, locked treatment beds and beds in psychiatric units. And with limited city funds, beds that provide simple shelter for the homeless - rather than people in acute distress - are of lower priority.

San Francisco's historic Bayview district, tucked between a freeway and the bay, is a sprawling commercial, residential, and light-industrial corridor on the city's southeastern edge. It is the least photographed neighborhood in one of the world's most photogenic cities. It contains a toxic cleanup site at the Hunters Point Shipyard. Tour buses don't stop here except to refuel overnight.

The mayor wants to cut support for the Free City College program. It's yet another example of the city's chief executive diverting money that was approved by the voters to other priorities. It's also a violation of a ten-year Memorandum of Understanding that San Francisco signed with City College in 2017. Free City College has its roots in a 2016 ballot measure, spearheaded by then-Sup. Jane Kim, that slightly raised the transfer tax on properties selling for more than $5 million.

In a sign of weak demand for restaurants overall, the once highly valued "full" liquor licenses in San Francisco, which could only be obtained on the secondary market due to a longstanding legal exception, are now worth about a third of what they were before the pandemic. You might not think that the market price for a liquor license would fluctuate, or that the price could tank in a matter of just a few years. It's not like people have stopped drinking Gen Z maybe has and it's not like the local restaurant scene is in the doldrums like it was in 2021.
