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

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.

Castro Merchants president Nate Bourg lamented the “deliberate hate crime targeting a gay-owned business and the values of safety, pride, and inclusion that define the Castro.” “Our community has fought too hard for visibility, d

In April, Harper, a retired San Francisco Muni driver, received an eviction notice stating she owed $93,000. A second letter later reduced that amount. "Something is not right. How can you go from $93K to $10K. At first, I'm concerned they have bad bookkeepers," Harper said. Now, the uncertainty has left her fearing to end up homeless "on the sidewalk," Harper said.

“We know that smoking is linked to heart disease, respiratory disease, all types of illnesses like asthma,” said Dr. John Maa, a member of the San Francisco Marin Medical Society. His organization supports Melgar's proposal and says tobacco is the leading cause of preventable deaths in the United States.

Rogers says she was leaning against the wall near the bathroom, with the back of her foot propped back against it. Her knee was jutted out at about a 45-degree angle, she says. That was when she alleges that Carta's chief revenue officer, Jeff Perry, walked by, slapped his hand on her leg, squeezed it, then kept walking. "It wasn't something normal-definitely not professional," Rogers says in an interview with Fortune, recounting the claims she made in a lawsuit against her former employer, Carta, and Perry in August.

In the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, the LGBTQ+ charity behind San Francisco's annual Hunky Jesus competition, decades of activism and raucous performances, members of the order dress in drag as nuns, taking names like "Sister Flatulina Grande" and donning robes and white face paint. Among a flock of nuns, Gordon, who joined in 1987, was designated the lone pope.

Lad, 29, who lives in the Lower Haight, will represent San Francisco on Season 4 of "The Great American Baking Show," which premieres May 11 on the Roku Channel. Like its British counterpart, the popular show pits highly skilled home bakers against each other as they race against the clock to craft extravagant cakes in a tent setting. The cakes are then judged by celebrity chef Paul Hollywood, as well as restaurateur, chef and writer Prue Leith; each week, a different baker is sent home.
