A Bad Bunny look-alike is crowned in S.F., and the crowd goes wild

Chants of "Benito! Benito! Benito!" erupted Thursday night as, one by one, 28 Bad Bunnies paraded through Tacolicious on Valencia Street. It was Mission Lotería's "Bad Bunny Lookalike Contest," held on the cusp of the reggaeton legend's Super Bowl LX halftime performance at Levi's Stadium, during times so politically trying that it is difficult to even keep track of each successive outrage. Arguably no crowd had ever been more ready for an excess of bunnies and badness.

Tesla abandons plans for S.F. driverless car charging station

Tesla, Elon Musk's electric vehicle company, has abandoned plans to operate an autonomous vehicle fleet charging station in Jackson Square, a rare sign of AV encroachment being rebuffed in San Francisco. A few months ago, the project looked likely to happen.

The plans included chargers for a fleet of autonomous vehicles.

San Francisco's Drug Court was established in 1995, and is meant as a diversion program so that low-level drug offenders can avoid normal court and jail, and instead get "services in the community designed to get them out of their drug and crime situations.

The misconceptions about filming a movie in San Francisco

PARK CITY, UTAH - San Francisco may be one of the most cinematic cities in the world, but it isn't necessarily the easiest place to film a movie. Or is it?

Along with the recent filming of "Artificial" and 2024's "Man on the Inside," there's a growing mound of evidence that despite popular belief, San Francisco can be a welcome place for filmmakers.
